The Pumpkin Patch

Every since I moved to Clear Lake, 3 years ago, I have wanted to visit the Clear Lake United Methodist Church Pumpkin Patch. I used to drive by it on my way to work and always thought it was so pretty. Well, now that I have 2 beautiful daughters I knew we had to go! I will let the pictures speak for themselves. My friend Emily made the bows. Too cute! And I just got my hair done so it looked nice for the pics, instead of a ponytail like it usually is. We are blessed! Happy Fall!

3 Months Old and More Sleep!

Wow! 3 Months has gone by ssssooo fast! I feel like I have barely sat down since the girls were born! They did start sleeping really well this past week. From about 9 or 10 PM till 4 or 5 AM. The first time they did it I couldn't believe it! Usually if they went to sleep at 9:00 they would be up about midnight to eat again. Sloane was the first to wake up that first night and I went to change her. Nick said "oh, she's up?" and I said "It's 5:00!!" We couldn't believe she had gone all night and Stella was still sleeping too! She ended up waking up a few minutes later nut we were so proud of how long they had gone. We were worried it was a fluke but it wasn't. They both slept at least 7 hours the last 5 nights. I know some babies do this sooner, but for us to get both of them sleeping at the same time was such a huge deal! We hope that they start sleeping longer and longer now. Soon it will be time to put them up in their nursery. I am kinda sad thinking about it but I want them to be in their own room sooner than later so that hopefully the transition is a smooth one. They both can put themselves to sleep in the pack n play in our room so I am hoping they will do it in their cribs too. I have to go now. I got on the computer to pick out pictures for their birth announcements. Yes I know, I am so late. If I am lucky I will get them sent out before Christmas! HAHA
I hope you are all doing well. The picture is of the girls at 9 weeks. That's the last ones I have uploaded to the computer. These are the first books we read to them.

Twins are here!

Well almost 2 months later I finally have a chance to post about the twins. They are absolutely adorable!! It's been a hard 7 weeks but very fun too. I have had lots of help from my mom, mother in law and friends. Kendra came and stayed for several days too. Taking care of 2 newborns is probably the hardest thing I have ever done but totally worth it. Everyone started back to school this week and I must say I was kinda sad. I do miss teaching but I know this is where I need to be right now. Plus I couldn't imagine leaving these little ones with anyone but Mamaw or Grammy right now. Here are some pics of the girls...I know, I know, FINALLY!!

Arrival Date!

I am 35 weeks now and still feeling good. I have been having some cramping at night but nothing that I think is real labor. I guess my body is just starting to get ready now. We found out this week that if the girls don't come on their own, we will be induced or have a C-section on July 7th. If Baby B turns head down we can try for a regular delivery but if not, it will have to be C-section. The doctor's office called me today and said that it will be July 8th now because there were too many deliveries on 7/7. We'll see when the girls decide to come! After all it's not up to us! I am hoping that they will stay in for 2 more weeks, as much as I can't wait to see their sweet little faces, I know the longer they are in, the better!

A New Chapter

Well, here goes nothing! I have been reading friends' blogs for a while now and wanting to start one but just never knew what I would write about. I figure with the twins coming soon I will have plenty to write about. I am 34 weeks pregnant with twin girls. Nick and I are getting very excited and just can't wait to meet them! Should only be a few more weeks now. I will keep you posted!
Here is a recent pic of me at 32 weeks.
