May Pictures

Sari - Our little sleeper! She is the hard one to wake up - even to eat!

Our first outing with all 6 of us. It took us forever to get out of the house but it was great to go on a walk, finally!

Play Time!

Cute Outfit!


We all fall down!

More Pictures!

Me and my girls, with our guard dog :)
First doctor's appointment - 2 weeks old!
I don't know how but they both like to sleep with one arm out!
Adina is in the pink and Sari in the strips. They don't enjoy too much tummy time, at least not yet!

April 3rd - Happy Birthday!

Our first family picture! (Joe says he never looked better!) After a long day waiting for the girls to arrive they finally came late in the night on Friday. My water broke around 6:45am, Joe & I both showered and then stopped at McDonald's on the way to the hospital (I knew they wouldn't give me anything to eat once I got there & I was starving). They took me straight to a room - no checking in - I was in the middle of a contraction when we walked in. I was dilated to about 2.5 when they gave me an epidural (required when your having twins) then everything slowed down. I didn't dilate past 5.5 for more than 5 or 6 hours so doctors decided to go in and get the girls. The girls were born at 11:36 and 11:38pm. 20 fingers - 20 toes!!!

Week 36 (March 30)

Here is the last picture of my enormous belly - this was taken on March 31st. I was a little uncomfortable and my legs and feet were just as huge. We had a doctor's appointment on the afternoon of the 31st. I had gained just about 50lbs and my waist is about 45 inches around. The doctor measured each girl at about 6 1/2lbs each. Both heads are down and ready to go. We are just waiting for the day they want to come out :)

Week 35 (Mar. 23)

Can you believe they still have room in there? I still worked this week but got lucky because we actually had snow days on Thursday and Friday - 1st ones I have had in this district (6 yrs). Now we are on Spring Break so I have more down time which is great. It is getting harder & harder to move around a ton. We were suppose to have a doctor's appointment on Thursday but because I didn't want to get out in that weather we canceled it. The nurse was alright with that because I feel fine and my next appointment is with the specialist on Tuesday. My only real concern is that my legs and feet swell so much but apparently that is fairly normal.

We are really excited that we made it this far. We are almost to 36 weeks and we were told that they won't let me go past 38 weeks with twins to we have a maximum of 2 weeks before Joe is a father again and I am a mother - kinda scary :) but exciting!

Week 34 Fun Pics

Just some fun pictures of Joe & I with my enormous belly!

Week 34 (March 16th)

Well we made it past the 2 week mark and the doctor did literally jump for joy at our appointment this week. Everything still looks good, but I have started dilating - barely at 1. I have gained about 40lbs. and this week my feet have doubled in size. Joe calls them Fred Flintstone feet - they are SOOOOO big! I try to keep them up but then my back starts to hurt, so I will take the swollen feet over back pain any day! I am still working but that is getting difficult just because I have to walk so far to the bathroom :) Both babies are active, but I have really felt Baby A a lot more this week. My students are all prepared just in case something happens at school - they know where my phone is and what teachers/staff members to get. They all want it to happen in their class - I think they just want to have a fun story!
