Our New Life As Parents

Our new life as parents of twins has been very busy and very exhausting, but it most certainly has been the most precious time of our life. I can't imagine life with out them now.

Over the past six weeks:

Everyone keeps asking us, "How do you do it with two?". The fact is... we don't know any different. We really wouldn't know how to act with just one! The babies will be six weeks old tomorrow and they are :

• taking both breast milk and a couple of formula bottles a day


• waking up every 3 1/2 to 4 hours at night


• starting to grow out of their tiny newborn (5-8 lb) clothes :(


• starting to grow out of newborn diapers :(


• still has all of the beautiful hair that they were born with- dark brown but with platinum undertones :)


• starting to look around and "see"


• likes their swing


• both sleeping in the same crib at night


• loves to be held


• makes the sweetest little chirping noises


• loves to stroll outside

XXOO,

Twice Blessed!

Sadie and Sophie made their arrival on September 19th! It was a day that I will never forget...

Our delivery was scheduled for a Wednesday, but had an emergency c-section two days early. After being monitored for high blood pressure and contractions for half a day, the doctor came in and said that they should go ahead and take the babies. We were so shocked. Lynn rushed home and got our bags. When he got back to the hospital I was almost completely prepped and he was ready to put on his gear.


I was completely calm until they wheeled me to the OR. It's the weirdest feeling. You are pretty scared because they are cutting you open and having major surgery, but also so happy because you are about to meet your babies that you have dreamed about for a long time....



Baby A was born first- Sophie Diane! 5 lbs and 19 inches long




Baby B- Sadie Rose! 5 lbs and 7 oz and 19 inches long

Our doctor- who delivered our good friend's baby just an hour before our delivery!

The proudest day of my life!

I can't believe that they are here. They are absolutely the most precious babies! Lynn and I are so proud of our little angels.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
