11 months

October 7th, 2008 · No Comments

So this is WAYYYYYY past their actual 11 month birthday but I just haven’t forced myself to get back into posting. If I try and post when the babes are awake A: I feel guilty I am not spending that time playing and working with them and B: Loen crawls all over me and drools [...]

Michigan…We came…we saw…we went home

September 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I was worried about the flight to Michigan with the twins. This would be their first time flying and we would be at the very beginning of cold and flu season. One of the twins doctors gave us a great tip of wiping down the seat area with antibacterial wipes. So we brought a a [...]

Teething monsters

August 28th, 2008 · 4 Comments

So I have a good excuse for not blogging as of late. Babies….yes the babes. I have barely checked my email let alone trying to put a few sentences together. But as they are sleeping at the moment I will try and post.
So we are teething with a vengeance. When Loen’s two bottom teeth cut [...]

Banished to their room

July 16th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Tadd asked his mother if she would like to visit in the month of July. Ummmmm….she was on a plane 15 hours later. I guess that was the soonest one to California. She said when she awoke on Wednesday she would never had guessed she would be holding her grandkids the next day. Unfortunately for [...]

Lazy Momma

June 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Man I have been so lax when it comes to updating this blog. So much has happened that I haven’t written about. What usually happens is this: Oh I need to write about that, that is going to take some time so I will do it later today, baby meltdown, I’ll write tomorrow and next [...]

Day 213

May 25th, 2008 · 3 Comments

The babies are now 7 months old. Or 30 weeks. Or 213 days if you want to be a little more accurate. That’s about 1.8% of my life. The impact that they have made in our lives is immeasurable. They have been out of the womb 57 days more [...]

It’s been half a year of mayhem

April 27th, 2008 · 5 Comments

It blows my mind to think that the twins have been alive for 6 months now, half a year. At times it feels like much longer when we think of where we started, obstacles we had to overcome (and still do) and friends we have lost.

UPDATES:

Loen: We are still the bigger twin. As of Monday [...]

5 months minus 16 weeks add 3 hours…oh forget it

March 24th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Yes the Tadpoles are 5 months old now. When people ask how old they are I often debate whether to tell them their real age or their adjusted age (how old they would be if born on their due date). Even saying they are a month gets comments like “Ohhh, they are so small”. They [...]

Oh Brother

February 25th, 2008 · 11 Comments

Time, where does it go? I feel like I am up most of the night, up early to feed and change the twins, but between there and me getting a shower I lose a huge chunk of time. It is suddenly noon and I am finally eating some breakfast, then I feed the twins, change [...]
