In DUE time!

Today is my official pregnancy due date. If I would have made it to today...I would almost have 18lbs of baby in my stomach. That's two 9 pound babies. I don't think it would be possible, could you imagine how miserable that would be!

Heath and Hunter have been in this world for 6 weeks and I can't imagine my life without them. I can hardly remember what it was like to get 8 full hours of sleep :) !!

By the Way...don't we look super cool in our sunglasses? Thank you Aunt Sharon and Uncle Maxie for the shades, we are the coolest babies on the block!

Adorable Pictures

My wonderful friend Keva took pictures of our precious baby boys. To see some more of them, please check them out at her blog, then be sure to let me know what you think.

Their outfits say "Answered Prayer,"...with all we went through to get these precious boys, they truly are an answered prayer. God is so good!

Makes you want to pull your hair out!

Yesterday, Chris and I took the boys to the doctor in Odessa to get their RSV shots. The appointment was at 2pm, but we went a little early so that we could pick up a new hot water heater at Home Depot before hand.

On the way to Odessa, we had to stop twice, once for each boy to have a screaming fit that wouldn't end until they were safely in Mommy's arms. When we finally got to Home Depot, it was time for the boys to eat, so Chris and I sat in the parking lot and fed the boys. While changing Heath's diaper on the center console of the truck, Heath managed to poop on the console and pee all over the passenger seat, dash, and windshield. We went through 4 diapers in that one change. Only when I thought I had it all cleaned up did I realize that he also peed on the bottles that we had just prepared. ARGHHHH! Luckily, I had plenty of feeding supplies and I made new bottles while my two babies screamed their heads off. Before Chris and I made it to the doctor's office with the boys we were down to only 2 diapers left in the diaper bag, Hunter had been changed because he spit up all over his outfit, and Chris and I were covered in poop, pee, and throw up.

I'm sure that we will get better at getting out and about, but right now...it might be a good thing we are on house arrest.

* The picture is of Heath, who likes to tug on his hair. I haven't seen him actually pull his hair out, but he does have a very firm grip on it.

4 weeks old - One Month on Saturday

My sweet boys are 4 weeks old today. I can't imagine life without them. It is amazing how much they have changed and grown in the last month.

Heath was born weighing 5 lbs 6 oz and was 17 and 1/2 inches long. Last week he weighed 6 lbs 14 oz and was 20 and 1/2 inches.

Hunter was born weighing 5lbs 5 oz and was 16 and 1/2 inches long. Last week he weighed 7 lbs 0.4 oz and was 21 and 1/2 inches.
New outfits that Grandma sent us. Aren't we precious.

Check out the adorable burp cloths that Mimi made for us. Almost too cool to spit up on. ALMOST (they wash)

Look at those bright eyes! Even Heath has his eyes open (such a rare sight). The boy really likes to sleep.

Unfortunately, Daddy had to go back to work today. We will miss him greatly and we look forward to when he returns. I just hope that I can handle the two of them by myself today. I might need some prayers, because I still find the whole thing overwhelming!

This is our one month old video.

Here is a video of our daddy playing with us. We are sure going to miss you while you are at work.

I've gotta run...I have four little eyes looking at me...and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Another cute picture and a Thank you to Aunt Amy

Just another adorable picture of my baby boys. Heath on the left and Hunter on the right.


Aunt Amy with the boys. What a handful!

I'm sorry this is a little late, but I wanted to say a big thank you to Aunt Amy for keeping up the blog while I was in the hospital. I really appreciate you helping out.

6th Anniversary

I know this post is a little late...but I've been a little busy.

Four days after the arrival of our boys and four days before Christmas (December 21st) , Chris and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. We spent the day in the NICU cuddling with our little men, and Chris and I both decided we wouldn't have wanted to spend it any other way.

When Chris and I got married, I thought there was no way that I could love him more than I did on our wedding day. I was head over heels. I have found, however, that I love him more each day, and I didn't know that was possible. Since our boys have arrived, there has been no exception. He is wonderful with them. He is not afraid to change diapers, bathe, feed, or just lay on the couch and cuddle with them.

The ultimate height of my love for him came when we were in the NICU. Surrounded by other parents and nurses, Chris loudly sang "Rock-a-bye Baby" to Hunter. He completely ignored the stares and funny looks that he received when his version consisted of buying a Bass Boat and a Shot gun instead of a mockingbird and a diamond ring. He would do anything for these boys. I fell a little more in love.

More Pictures

Here are some random pictures of the boys.


Mommy's little Christmas presents.

Here I am TRYING to feed both of the boys. The picture is deceiving, it is not as easy as it looks to feed both at the same time, but we are working on it.

Wrapped in our favorite blankets that Mimi made for us. We have four in every color. Heath on the left, Hunter on the right.
