Spit.

Connor was never a spitter. In fact, I don't think I ever put a bib on him until he started eating cereal. I always wondered why people gave so many bibs, I had a huge stack that never got used.

Until now.

Both girls are spitters. It constantly rolls out, flies out and gets squeezed out. It doesn't matter the angle they eat at or how much I burp them. It is so annoying, especially after having a baby that didn't spit at all! I am thankful for all the bibs we had from Connor and all of the new ones we've gotten. We through 6-10 bibs some days! Here's to two darling bibs that I don't want them to spit on!! Thanks so much to Jen, we love these bibs!!!

Sunday Outing

We attended church for the first time today since the girls were born. They slept right through and never got out of their car seats (if only they'd sleep that well at night!). When we got home, I thought I'd better get a picture of them in their cute dresses (that are already getting to small) and too big tights. They didn't really want their pictures taken at the time!! Couldn't be because they were hungry!!

The First Month

Most of you know, the twins were born last month!! It has been a busy month!

Here they are the day they were born:

Addy Marie Molly Elizabeth

5 pounds 11 oz. 6 pounds 6 oz.

19 1/2 inces 20 1/2 inches

They are amazing. They are beautiful. They are so sweet. They have changed our lives forever. Each day is a new challenge, but all very worth it. I hate to rush them being little, but I am so anxious to see them grow together as they grow up.

The hardest thing since they came home is the lack of sleep. We knew it would be hard, but no one can prepare you for the sleepless nights. I tell myself every night "this too shall pass". On that note, Addy went 6 hours last night. Many of you know the panic I had when I realized it! Molly on the other hand was up about every 2!

Here they are today, one month old! I stole the monthly photo shoot idea from Jen, I hope she doesn't mind (she has all sorts of good ideas!).

Addy

Molly
I hope to post more often, I know I'll look back and wonder where the time (and my tiny babies) went...no promises though. Nothing like a toddler and one month olds ruling my life!!

Have a great week!!

Too cute!

I had to share these cute onesies that we got as a gift for the girls! What fun it is to have creative (and thoughtful!) friends ; )

Here is one for when they may not be getting along so well!!

Thanks Gwen!! We can't wait to take pictures of them modeling them!!

30 Weeks...

I have taken way fewer pictures of my belly with pregnancy #2, ok so this is the first one!! I'm just not so sure I am going to want pictures proving how large my stomach really got.

School has started and I still feel good, although I do miss my daily naps!! Can you believe I am sleeping better at night without them!?!? I had an ultrasound this week and Baby A was 3 pounds and Baby B was 3 pounds 7ounces. When you look at the picture, keep in mind that there is already 6+ pounds of baby in there!! I love that they are packing on the pounds!!

Getaway

We decided to go on a little low key getaway this summer knowing that this could be last low key summer we have for a very long time. Ken's vision was water with a dock, I took it from there and this is where we landed.

We went to Houghton Lake in Michigan and it was beautiful!! Our cottage was great, the view was amazing, and the family time was priceless.

I did feel a bit guilty about our current boat situation, this being our first time at the water since the big sale. We decided that Connor did need one after all, so we ended up purchasing another one and it was so worth the splurge...he loved every second of it!!

We spent every day but one, relaxing and hanging out. I'm glad, Ken needed it. I'll post about our big adventure day later.

Have a great weekend!

Choo Choo

Connor was so thrilled when Papa finally got out the choo-choo for him to ride. He could go around for hours on end!! Now you can imagine what he wants to do all the time...
