One Month Down.....It Flew By!

We had a wonderful first month with Hayden and Will! My Mom was here for the month and it was fabulous to have her here! I don't know what we will do without her! Mike was able to make it for the end of the trip too! Next we have my Dad and Christine coming to see everyone! It should be a fun rest of the month. Here are some more pictures of Hayden and Will. They are growing like weeds! We are having the time of our lives with the little ones!

3 Weeks Already!

I can't believe how fast time is already flying! Our babies will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. Yikes!!! We have had an amazing 3 weeks and I know it will only get better. We are such a happy little family. Harley is even adjusting well. He came home last week and is already protecting his little ones. He is a little sad that Mommy isn't here just for him now though. It is very cute! Here are some more pictures. :)

The twins have arrived! Will Alan was born on September 15 at 8:26 a.m. weighing in at 6 pounds 7.5 ounces and measuring 18.5 inches long. Hayden Kate was born on September 15 at 8:28 a.m. weighing in at 5 pounds 3 ounces and measuring 18 inches long. We had their well baby home visit today and we are happy to hear that both babies are almost back to their birth weight. The twins are perfect and we are the happiest little family ever! Here are a few pictures....

It's The Final Countdown!!!!!

Well I sure do have a baby update for everyone! First of all, I developed PUPPP last week. PUPPP is a severe pregnancy rash only cured by the birth of a child. Let me tell you....it is not fun! Fortunately, my doctor was able to give me some medicine to make it a little more tolerable.

As for the babies....as of last Friday, they were estimated to weigh 5 lb. 1 oz. each. They are growing like weeds! I am scheduled to have a c-section on Wednesday, September 15, first thing in the morning. I will be 37 weeks pregnant which is considered full term for twins. There is an end in sight! I have attached a picture of my belly at 35 weeks. I don't look quite as cheery due to the severe itchiness that I have. :)

The Waiting Game!!!

I am still on modified bed rest. I can work for a limited time but other than that I am pretty much restricted to the couch, recliner and bed. It is not as fun as it sounds. Luckily, Scott and Stef sent me many movies so I have been watching about one a day. A big thanks to Scott and Stef for making my time pass! I usually work a little from home, watch a movie and take a nap each day. You would think that would be fun....but it is not! Trust me! I have included a picture of me at 33.5 weeks. The doctor wants me to make it past Labor Day and then they are good to come. I need to get to 36 weeks in order to have the twins in Chadron, which would be Labor Day. I guess I can stick it out for a couple more weeks.

33.5 Weeks

Slight Change of Plans....

Everything is still going well but we have had a slight change of plans. I have been put on bed rest for the weekend and limited work. At this point we are hoping that I can work half days but it all depends on how this weekend goes. I have had some contractions that have been stopped with medication. Hopefully we can keep the contractions stopped for a few weeks to let the babies get mature enough to come out. I guess I will get caught up on all my chick flicks and books!
