Back from Atlanta......and HAPPY!

Troy in Atlanta
Brody in Atlanta

Well as expected....the Atlanta trip with the boys was a experience! I hate to even complain about the little things because the boys are so good, but it was work!!! First after I moved everything we owned there into a room about the size of a bathroom at the local Ruby Tuesday's they are starting to cut teeth! WOW! what a great time to be upset at sleep time!! Besides that they had fun and the girls enjoyed their company!





The great news is that while I was there my girls were scouted to get a private audition with America's Got Talent. YAY!!!! The girls were so excited they didn't even know what to do with themselves. I was so proud, that all this time we have worked so hard it just validated everything we have done! Sorry my entree in so short but I hear the boys telling me they are hungry!!! Got to GOOOOOOOO!

So many things to do......and not a lot of time to do it in

So this week my dance company is going to Atlanta to compete ion a regional competition there. I'm taking the boys and it is going to be their first big trip away from home and daddy... :) The craziest thing when you take the boys somewhere is, it is like moving! I mean gosh....it is insane. I have had to go buy pre-made formula for the trip cause I would pay anything for convenience, the you have to, well maybe not have to but I do, go buy a couple of new outfits Shhhhhhh don't tell Danny! He will ask," oh that's cute where did it come from" and ill say "oh this old thing, please Ive had it for a while". Then the boys have to have a few new things, like i bought new blankets (super soft) 2 new outfits, oh a pair of shoes for Brody (cause he is like his daddy and has big feet) and then the packing.......oh the packing!!!

We will see how this trip goes, to see about future trips (Disney World) and I'm sure daddy will be going crazy till we get home. I will keep you all posted on how the girls do since they are going to be scouted for the "America's Got Talent"

So wish me luck cause I have so many things to do.........and not a lot of time to do it in!

Catching You Up On Time

So I am a little late on getting motivated to do the blog so I will be taking you through the last 4 months so that I can "Catch You Up On Time" hinc the blog title!

So since we brought the boys home, our lives have changed drastically....DUH! right? Well we actually had it really good with them as newborns. I don't know if it is because they were in the NICU for 3 1/2 weeks and so it got them on a schedule or what, but all I know is that when we brought them home I would feed both and then they would sleep 3 hours and then they would cry and then I would feed and then back to sleep they went. It was like that all day everyday and all through the night. The boys never got colic and/or sick. (Knock on wood) And then there was the 4 month old Troy and Brody that decided to visit.

OH ARE THEY ALIVE........

It was just the calm before the storm as newborns. They still are not sickly babies they just like attention. I'm not sure where they got that from....NOT! ...... all their short little lives they have had someone doting over them!

So now both boys are smiling and talking to us and everyone else, they are eating some food. They like everything......wait let me refrase that Brody (who weighed in at 14.2 lbs and 23inch) likes everything.......Troy (who weighed in at 12lbs and 22inch) doesn't like green beans. They love to lay on their mat's and play with their jungle gym toys, and we have recently purchased an excersaucer that they are trying to get use to.

These boys are growing up fast and I'm not liking it...........so here's to "Catching You Up On Time"

The first month with Troy and Brody

Well I wanted to try this and see if it would help in getting through my day as a, well you know, Mom Of Twins At 26. I may not have time to write everyday or even every week, but when I can blog I can garantee it will be entertaining. From me talking about the things I have found work when two babies are crying and you are ready to just scream to my husbands mishaps when he has to take care of the boys by himself for 2 or 3 hours.

I want to give you a quick re-cap on my pregnancy and all the things I went through from the beggining. I went in for a routine check up visit to the Dr. on a Tuesday at 31 weeks and 4 days. My Doctor was out of town (probly running another marathon, that I had to hear about and be reminded of just how fat I was with all the picture around his office of the ones he has finished) so I had to see a coleuge of his right accross the hall. SO ass I'm called back to see the nurse for her to weight me, I see the scale just keep going and going and the I see the light at the end of the tunnel and it said 225 lbs. NOOOOOO......close the door and shut the curtains I don't want to see the light. The nurse gives me a a little look and I wanted to say, yea your right your thinking the right thing I might have had a few taco's and burgers, but you put two boys in your stomach and work up till the day and see if you don't eat something you didn't want to. I take a seat by her computer and then she puts the dreadful brood pressure machine on me and yes just as she expected it was very high....So high the nurse and the Doctor gave each other a little looksy. I go into a room with my mom, who had joined me on my visit this day because I should add in this real wuick that I am DEATHLY AFRAID of hospital's and evrything that goes with it, I get on the table and wait...and wait....and wait.... I've alwys wondered if they do this for effect. you know the waiting<>

Im in my room and they come to do all my test, and I might add that the nurses thought that my family was crazy cause at any given time there was 7 people in my room and another 5 in the waiting room. So we get through all the crying while they put in the IV and all the other crazy things they have to do when you are pregnant and so long story short my blood pressure goes up more and more for 2 days, my water breaks the second night in the hospital and they finally do an emergency C-section. The epidural was another adventure and i'm not so sure I could do it again, I might add I asked my mom if it was possible to have a natural birth with twins because I was so scared about the epidural, needless to say she laughed at me.

So after the C-section I see the boys in the surgery room and then they wisk them away to the NICU......little did I know if was fixing to be a long 1st month with daily visits to the NICU just to get to hold my two little men.......But that will be another BLOG in itself.....
