Little Blessings

Here are some pictures of our two new sweet little blessings! I can't believe they are actually here! I was even more suprised at how much they weighed! Madison Hope weighed 6lbs and was 17 inches long and McKinley Faith weighed 5lbs 9 oz and was 17 inches long! I still don't know how they both fit in my belly! The c-section went really well and recovery has gone better than expected. It was actually somewhat comical. Dr. Fothergill and staff were just awesome in the OR. I am sure the meds helped out too! We also found out in the OR that I have one ovary and twisted fallopian tubes! How great is our God and how comforted I feel knowing that He is in control and won't give us more than we can handle. Jeremiah 29:11 Well, I am still sore and very exhausted juggling two infants and a toddler, but I am so thankful to have help! I could not do this without my mom and mother-in-law, who have been up with me every night and helping out with Hannah Grace and all the housework. Thanks so much mom and Vickie! Just wanted to tell everyone thank you so much for all your prayers and all the help that has been given and offered! We appreciate it so much! Big sister is adjusting. Every day is a different day and some days are good and some days aren't so good. I think we may be going through some terrible twos at the same time as adjusting to not being the center of attention. I know it will get better as time goes though, she just needs time to adjust. Well this is much of an update as I can give for now. The twins are still sleeping momentarily and I need to get some things done before they wake up to eat! And yes I am nursing them still! The last doctor appointment Madi weighed 6lbs 10 oz, 19.5 inches long and Kinley weighed 5 lbs 11oz, 19 inches long! So they gained their birth weight back and then some! Enjoy the pics!

3 more days!

Okay, so I am dilated to a 3 now and sleep is pretty much every couple of days! Which I know things are about to get crazy and sleep may still be every couple of days, but at least I will be able to turn in the bed without waking myself up because I groan so loud! It literally takes my breath away to turn in the bed! Anyway, no complaining! My c-section is still on for Friday around 8:30 am. I am still a little anxious, but I know God has put us in good hands! We can't wait to see what these little munchkins look like! I will keep you updated at some point in the next couple of weeks, but I am sure you will all understand if I don't post anything for a bit! Next time we talk I will be a mommy of three....who knew!!!!

9 more days!

I can't believe we will be a family of 5 in just 9 days! We are very excited and I am very ready! I just wanted to say thank you to my mom and mom-in-law for taking care of me for the past 4 weeks! What a sacrifice! They have cooked, cleaned, taken care of Hannah, ran errands, and so much more! I am so thankful to have them around! Here are a few shots of them hanging out with Hannah....she is a handful and I just thank them both for being so patient with her!









Belly love

Okay, I am only posting this for the girls ya know! And to remind them how large my belly was when I was pregnant with them. In these pictures I am 36 weeks and 3 days prego! Hannah has been pretty sweet hugging and kissing my belly! She is going to be a great big sister! So here it is, the belly shot!
