Tummy Time ...

Today has been an eventful day already and its not even close to being over yet! We started our day at 5 am .. yes 5 am both sets of eyes were wide awake and ready for our day to begin. I had my six week post op appointment this morning, and I had an awesome report. Back to old my self again and ready to "workout". Thats if I have time .. ha ha time with twins thats an under statement. I actually might sign up for a "stroller stride" mommy class. The class meets three times a week .. It would be great we will see how it goes ...

We also had a few visitors today, my sister and her best friend Abby came to visit and to eat lunch. My Nonna was also here she comes once a week to help out .. she has been amazing. She helps cook, clean, feed babies, sterilize bottles.. whatever needs to be done! I always countdown each week for her next visit!!

This weekend Daddy has to work again ... sigh. I know two weekends in a row is a HUGE bummer but its a day shifts! My Mom will be here im sure both days and hopefully we can get out and about .. possibly do a little shopping. Retail therapy is a MUST!

Wednesday's thoughts ....

I am definitely loving the change in the weather! Sweats will be my attire for this lazy rainy day!

September thru November is by far my favorite time of year. LOVE football season ... pumpking spice candels... fall decorations and of course Halloween.
Still contiplating Stella and Harper's halloween costumes ...

My 25th birthday is quickly approaching. I never thought I would be married and a mom of TWINS before I was 25! This birthday will be different than the past I cant wait :)

Christmas is so close cant wait to spend our first Christmas as a family of FOUR. We want be traveling for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Just to soon for these babies to be on a plane during the winter. But we are hoping to have tons of visitors through the holidays!

Everyone (including Daddy) is snoozing away at the moment, I think I will take advantage of this quiet time and rest myself!!

Six Weeks.....


I have so much to say but very little time so here it goes....

We had an awesome weekend, I had been dreading this weekend for the past couple of weeks only because Daddy had to work a night shift (and we miss him so much when he is gone). Friday was a very uneventful day the three of us layed around in our pjs until after lunch. And late Friday afternoon we headed to moms to hangout until Gary got off work. Saturday we had a little visitor ... Elizabeth came over. Surprisingly this was only the second time she had seen the twins since we came home from the hospital. We will excuse her this time since she was planning a wedding and all. We watched the Clemson vs. Auburn game and ate pizza. She was such a huge help while I got some much needed things done around the house. But however I did catch time to celebrate Clemsons WINNN.. yay GO TIGERS !!!


Our little TIGERS !

Sunday we went to church and lunch with my mom and the rest of the family. Trying to be somewhere before lunch time was a huge task. I showered while my mom took care of babies .. and then we switched! We will definitely have to book late afternoon appointments for these first couple of months if we have to go anywhere :)


Typical picture ..

Monday was a very low key day, Gary was off work and he insisted that I get out for a little while and he would take care of the BABES. Mommy had a mani and pedi and quickly headed back home. ( I knew there was no need to rush that he had it all under control but ....) We went for an afternoon stroll .. well kinda Harper rode in the stroller while I carried Stella. For some reason she didn't have a very good day.....

Well while my little angels sleep I will try to nap we had a rough night ....

One Month ....

It still amazes me how fast time seems to fly by these days... My afternoons turn into nights and mornings and before I know it Monday turns into Friday. Today marks exactly one month since Harper and Stella's birth. I can't believe it I'm a mother to one month old TWINS :) These last couple of weeks have definitely been a roller coaster experience. I'm going to completely try to go off off memory and write something about each week....

Week One- Well Daddy was still home from work we also had tons of help from my mom "granna". Both babies umbilical cords came off 7 days to be exact. We had two visits to our pediatrician this week ( both great check ups)

Week Two- Granna spent the entire week with us, Daddy worked two 7pm-7am shifts we managed just fine!

Week Three- Mommy was able to handle us all on her on during the day while Daddy worked. Linsey and Shelly both came to visit us and to help Mommy of course ...

Week Four- Kind of a blur daddy had a lot of time off this week so he let Mommy rest as much as possible!
