First Grocery Store Adventure

When I was pregnant I would walk to the store with Abram quite a bit, but since the girls were born I haven't been at all. That is until last week. I decided to go to the store because we didn't have any milk and hadn't had any for a couple days so we went on our adventure. Of course it took forever to get everybody ready and happy enough to last for at least an hour and then when I got outside the tire on the stroller was flat!!! I could have just given up but we NEEDED milk and I had already put Abram and Mariah in the stroller and Mollie was in my carrier so WE WERE GOING!! So... we went with a flat tire. Of course when we got to the grocery store I needed a few more things and when I got to the checkout stand I had to stuff groceries in all sorts of places. The cashier didn't think it would work, but it did. You know why? Its because I'm Super Mom! j/k. But I decided to document with a few pictures. So, here they are.

Abram was eating a donut.

Mariah was VERY angry and wanted to be held and fed.

Somehow Mollie found some food to spit-up all over me even though she hadn't eat in a couple hours.

This is Mollie in her bundle.

Me...after a long, hot walk with three babies and a cashier that had little faith in my abilities.

Abram and Mariah in their stroller.

Abram's Dance

Abram loves to dance so I decided to get a video of him. This is pretty funny.

So I have done a terrible job of keeping you posted. The babies are here and have been for a little over a month!!! Time flies by quickly! They were born on July 19th via c-section at 4:45 and 4:47 am. Mariah Diane was first and weighed in at 6 lb 5 oz. Mollie Elizabeth was second and weighed in at 6 lb. 1 oz. I am VERY glad they weren't born too much later than they were because I can't imagine carrying any more baby weight than I already was!!! Good news is that I lost 28 pounds when they were born!!! Woohoo!! My water broke at 1:55 am on the 19th so I went into the hospital and everything went super quickly from there. I actually went started feeling contractions as soon as my water broke which is a change from when I was pregnant with Abram so I guess it takes two babies before my body will start doing what its supposed to. The contractions were 2 minutes apart so I imagine if I would have been allowed I would have gone pretty quickly without the c-section. But I am thankful to have had a c-section because the thought of pushing is too scary! : )

Well...here are some pictures of the babies for the last month. Hopefully I can do all of them on one post. I've never tried to put so many on before. Enjoy!

This is the longest post in the history of posts so be patient you will get to the end soon. : )

New Ultrasound Pictures

Well...I am finally putting the latest ultrasound pictures on here. It has been a long couple of weeks. I was having some breathing problems for a while there and had to be monitored for a few hours and tomorrow I have an appointment with a cardiologist just to make sure my heart is working the way it is supposed to. I think that the babies are just causing these problems, but just in case it is good to get tested. : ) So I wil keep you all posted.

I decided to change the due date on my side bar count down because I was getting frustrated with trying to figure out when I was really going to be having these babies vs. their actual due date. So I am actually on 30 weeks along, but I will be having a c-section on July 3rd if not earlier (depending on what happens in the next 7 1/2 weeks).

The side profile is twin a. The other two pictures are twin b. I think its cute how you can kind of see her chubby cheeks...just like Abram. : )

Easter Package

Here are the Easter pictures I have been promising for a week. I have to take a picture of Abram in his "big boy" pajamas still, but I figured I would post these for the benefit of the grandparents. : )

Here he is taking everything out of the box.

He wants us to open his marshmallow bunny. By the way, he still hasn't eaten it.

Abram is saying please so we will give him an m&m.

And now the fruit of his labors. Those labors being that he said/signed "please". A delicious green m&m! YUMMY!

After he opened the package and he had all the candy we would let him have (he could have eaten it all I'm sure) he decided it would be fun to jump on the bed. He doesn't have very good balance so he always fell after on jump. It was fun until he fell off the bed. He kind of did a flip off the bed and bit his tongue. : ( He was okay though and still wanted to jump, but his paranoid mommy decided that it was time for him to do something a little less dangerous.

Last but not least is another belly picture. I look very happy in this picture except for where I look really UN-happy, but I was neither happy or unhappy... I was exhausted. Tim was on the couch so it is a weird angle, but I still look pretty big.

Cute, but sad.

So, it was as cute as it was sad...Anna was in a cleaning mode and vacuuming the room Abram and I were in. Abram is deathly afraid of the vacuum (even though he went down the slide at the playground all by himself after only once going down with me). So, he retreated to underneath the computer desk (where I was at) and sat staring at the vacuum. Cute, but sad.

As promised, here are the pictures of the girls and "the belly".




This is the bottom baby. They only got two pictures of her and 12 of her sister. : ( So I will only post one of each baby to make it fair. : ) She has her arm next to her face because she is waving at us. : )



This is the top baby. She really likes to kick me in in the ribs. But, even if it hurts sometimes I really like it when she kicks and moves around. If you look closely you can see the other babies' leg at the top of the picture just above the head.




And here are both babies in the same photo. One of the babies is on her side so you can see her body.

Well...here is my belly picture. I am definitely getting big but I will be getting a lot bigger so you ain't seen nothing yet. A lot of people think that I look small when they find out I am having twins.

Well that's all for now.
