Comments/Twins!

Yay! I think my wonderful Sister Desi made it possible for people to comment on my posts now! I'm so excited!

Also, The twins are here! Of course it's been 7 weeks now! I'm so behind on posting! But as you can imagine I don't get a lot of time to just sit here and post! I actually have a minute right now and thought I would post atleast a little something! It's been so wonderful having them here though! They are such amazing babies! They are so handsome, loving, terrific babies so far! Lets see how long I stay sane though!

It also has been so wonderful to not go back to work! I love being home with them all the time! I'm kind of getting into a routine.. Need to work on it a lot though! I have been trying to think of idea's for myself of how to get organized and kind of on a schedule!

I need to figure out a way to get Madason to sleep in her own bed! It's so hard to have her sleeping with us especially when I get lazy at night and just get up and get the boys and put them in bed with me too! 5 people in 1 bed, not so much fun! Anyone have any ideas for me of how to get her in her own bed and on a schedule?! I also need to start working hard on potty training her! She knows the concept of it but I haven't had the time or patients to do it yet! Now that I am going to be home it should be easier you would think! If you have any good tricks of how to do this i wouldn't mind if you shared them with me!

For me, well I am doing great! Feeling good, healing good (I think!) and managing well with 3! Madason is doing well with them.. She just loves to touch them, kiss them, hug them, just love them! It is quite cute just gets frustrating sometimes cause I feel like she's going to hurt them on an accident! Kids just don't know what they are doing and how fradgile the babies really are! I just need to make some friends now that I stay home and have time! Especially ones with kids that can play with Madason cause she gets lonely sometimes! I try to play with her and keep her entertained as much as I can but I can only do so much when I have 2 others that need my attention! I also need to get more creative! I don't have much creativity! Anyway! I am getting used to keeping up with more around the house! Nathan has been working really hard long hours since it's summer and his work is really busy right now! We are very greatful for his job and that he is busy and able to support our little family and is such a wonderful worker! He's amazing!

I have a couple of crying hungry babies so I better go feed them! Glad I got a post in though!

Week 34

Well I have made it to 34 weeks! I am feeling great and have yet to have any complications! Hopefully it will remain that way! Last week we got another ultrasound and saw the doctor! One of the babies weigh 4lbs 11oz and the other 4lbs 12oz. They are growing very well and seem to be doing just fine! I had to get the steriod shot this last week also to help develop their lungs quicker.. I didn't care for those 2 shots! Yuck! This week I will go for another ultra sound on Thursday and then the next 2 weeks after that I will have stress tests on Monday and ultra sounds on Thursday. Then the day of my C-section will be here before we know it!

I have gotten a lot done in the boys room! I think I am almost ready! I feel better now anyway! I've gotten Madason into her new room! We found her a cute bed and painted one of the walls in there and I think she likes it! She knows its her room now instead of the other one!

My sister-in-law Kalynn had her baby on March 21st. He is such a cute little guy! They had a few problems after he was born but they are all doing well now! They are blessing him on May 2nd (Madason's birthday!) I think I am going to celebrate Madason's birthday on May 1st! It will be quite a busy weekend since I go into the hospital Monday Morning early!

Hope everyone is doing fabulous and if I can remember I will be doing atleast 1 post a week to keep everyone updated!

Update on Twins/Life!

Well here it is almost April! I can't believe how fast time has gone! Where do I start!?...

I had a baby shower this last month and it turned out wonderful! Thank you to my Mom for all she did to get that together for me! And thank you to the other family that helped bring stuff (my sister in law made my cake! She did amazing!) Thank you everyone that was able to come! We had a great turn out and sorry if I didn't get to visit with some of you! I felt like I was opening gifts forever! It was so nice but I feel bad cause it's not that exciting most of the time!

Chocolates my Mom made!

My last ultra-sound about 2 weeks ago the babies were looking great. They both weighed 3lbs 8oz! My doctor told me last week that they are even a day or 2 ahead! So I am told I am small for having twins but they must just be cramped up in me! Even the nurses and doctor forget I am having twins! I have to remind them every time they go to listen to the heart beats or measure me! I am just glad they are doing great!

Baby A

31 Weeks

We have scheduled my c-section for May 3rd! I guess we just wanted all our kids in the same month! I go to the doctor next week again and get an ultra-sound. He said he will give me the steroid shot to help develop the lungs quicker so they can be ready to come out! Also they will start stress tests to make sure babies are doing good! I am guessing after this next appointment they will start seeing me weekly!

I have made the decision to stay home after I have the babies! I am excited to be a stay home mommy! It will def. be different since I've worked since I've been a mommy! I'm kinda nervous but I know things will work out one way or the other!

Madason is still just growing more and more everyday! She seems to be getting smarter and smarter everyday! I love that little girl so much! I don't know what I would do without her! I can't wait till it gets warm and stays warm so I can enjoy playing outside with her! I can't believe she will be 2 in May.. It has gone by so fast! Next year will be crazy for birthdays since Madason's is on May 2nd and I am having the boys on May 3rd (if I make it to that day!) So 3 birthday's in 2 days! And then Nathan and mine are both in July! WOW! Insane!

Desirae is moved in with Nate and I. It has been nice to have her there to keep me company when Nate isn't home and she's been wonderful help with Madason and keeping up on my dishes for me! She performed in a school play at the first of March and she did a really good job! She's so amazing and does a great job at all she does!

Lizzie has been doing a tumbling class this year and has enjoyed it very much! She had a performance a couple weekends ago and did a great job! She's so cute!

I will try and keep updating my blog! I still haven't figured out why it won't let anyone comment. So that stinks but at least those of you interested can read it! Have a great day! :)

Start of 2010!

Well I have been slacking again! But here it goes!

We are so excited for 2010! In December we found out we are having twin (identical) boys! I am 23 weeks and due on May 23rd but Dr Tindall says we will schedule the C-section for 37 weeks! So most likely I will have these babies in April! It is going to come so fast! I am thinking my mom is going to put a baby shower on for me in March for those of you interested! I go to my doctor again on Feb 12Th and we get another ultra sound. We get an ultra sound every 4 weeks to make sure they are growing right and one isn't stealing "food" from the other! After that appt I will start going every 2 weeks! I am excited to have Tindall as my doctor as I have heard many good things about him! I have seen him once and that was a good visit! He has 9 people including me that are pregnant with twins and he delivered 2 other people in the last couple of months! It is so crazy!

Baby A

Baby B

22 weeks

Madason is growing so fast! She is quite the little talker and has quite the personality! She is super smart! She loves to listen to music and dance (I don't know where she gets that from!!!! for those of you who know my Mom and Dad get that!) She got a pretty nasty cough this year but I think it is getting better so we can just hope it goes away and we all can get better! Can't wait for the summer! I think she had a really fun Christmas! Its so cute to ask her "what's in mommy's belly?!" as she normally replies "baby brothers!" Its so cute! She absolutely loves the snow! Nathan was off this last Friday and got to spend the day with her and he let her go out and play in it for a while! She loves to eat the snow too! I can't believe she will be 2 already in May! Def. will have my hands full this year!

Christmas Morning



Her cute outfit that her Great Aunt Pam gave her for Christmas

Nathan has really enjoyed his new job! It is definitely a lot different from what he was used to for about 6 years! He has been working in Ganado re-wiring a hospital. Most of the time they will leave on Monday's and come home Thursday's.. He will sometimes have Friday's off and sometimes he will work! Other times he ends up working weird hours in the night! And he has has a couple unexpected days of due to holiday's that reservations celebrate or whatever, but I think it has been good for him! Its been a great opportunity for him and he's doing a great job! I know on the days off he is always trying to think of something to do! He can't wait for the weather to warm up so he can start working on the outside of our home! We have lots of plans and hope to get some of them accomplished this year! Some may be put on hold for a little while due to cost and having 2 more babies instead of just one!

I am excited to get our income tax this year so that I can take care of some of our debt and get ready for me being off work! I am most likely coming back to work at least until the beginning of next year due to the new insurance I got here at work that we are using for this pregnancy! So that will be a challenge in its self!

I will try and keep posting as the pregnancy goes and of course pics after!

New adventures!

Well yet again it has been a while! I am so horrible at keeping stuff posted! But in the last Month or so we have been pretty busy! We got our New home! SO exciting! So much to still do but its been so much fun to put our own touch on it! Nathan has done a wonderful job of cleaning up the outside (watering, weed wacking, mowing, ect!) Me on the other hand... I have just been lazy! I have got most of my kitchen put away I think but I still have a lot to accomplish! We have 4 trees outside, 2 apple and 2 cherry! Madason loves to play in the dirt and in the water around the trees! There are a couple pics below of the house and I will work on getting some more! We took a trip to Wilcox AZ with Nathans parents and left Madason with my Mom for a night! It was a lot of fun (other than all the driving!) but it is very pretty with all the hills and stuff. We went down to get some fence that one of Lyn's friends was giving to us so we made a fun trip out of it! I wish I would have got a few more pics but I am terrible at remembering to do that! We went 4 wheeler riding and just had a good time visiting!

Other news! Nathan is changing jobs on November 9th! We are pretty excited since he's been given a good job offer and he has not been happy with his current job! Its time for a change! It will be quite different with hours and for him a different work environment to adjust to but I know he can do it and will be wonderful!

As most of you know we also are expecting our 2nd child! Yes 2! Are we insane?! Haha just kidding. Madason has been a ton of fun! She is so amazing, smart, gorgeous, helpful, loving, happy, Sassy! We just love being parents and are so greatful for all the blessings we have been given! I do not know when I am due yet, we are waiting for new insurance at my work so we have about a month and a 1/2 to wait till I go to the doc but hopefully it will be worth the wait! {cause kids are expensive!}

Enjoy the pics and hopefully I will get better at posting! And maybe I can get my blog fixed one of these days where it will let people comment..
