Happy Birthday Mom!

Today my mom would have been turning 55. I actually did not realize that it was her birthday until just a couple hours ago which is great. I just happen to be over at my dad's house for dinner tonight. I called him this morning and asked if we could come over tonight. I was signing up for netflix after dinner and I was looking at some dates and realized that it is already March and then realized that it was March 1st. My mind is always on the twins lately so I think that is why I got so far today without remembering. I have been thinking about it the last couple weeks knowing it was coming. I looked at Annie and said today is March 1st. She then looked at me and she said yeah, that is why you're here. I said no I didn't even plan it that way. So this worked out well that Grant, I and the twins came over here tonight. My mom probably had something to do with it :).

This year was a lot easier than last year that is for sure. I remember last year I was in Relief Society in a new ward. The lesson was on trials. The teacher asked if anyone had experienced a time where they felt like Heavenly Father had really helped them through a trial. I felt so strongly to share how Heavenly Father had helped me so much after my mom passed away and about all of the little things that he did for my family through that time. We just felt like Heavenly Father had really prepared us in so many ways. Anyways I raised my hand and as soon as she called on me I started balling. It seemed like forever until I could finally start speaking. I was SO embarrassed. New ward and everything. Anyways I still could not stop crying even after I was done speaking. Then what hymn do we sing to close? We sing...Where can I turn for peace? I was a wreck. Then the roll comes around to me as we are singing, actually I couldn't even sing, anyways the roll comes around and I see that it is March 1st. I start balling even harder. Not an easy day. I couldn't believe it. February just ends so soon so March always sneaks up on me. It is a good thing. Maybe one of these years I will go a whole day :).

I was thinking of her a lot this past week, these last couple months actually. I can't express how hard it is not having my mom here. It makes me so sad that I cant see her with the twins but I try to stay positive and also just try not to think about it too much. I love you mom and I miss you so much. Happy birthday!

We love our babies!

I love the cute faces Warner makes


Hannah is always in a little ball. Her legs are always up to her chest and crossed. She is so tiny.
They love to sleep close together.
My sister Katherine made this cute headband.
Hannah always has to be cuddled into Warner. It is so adorable. I love watching them sleep next to each other.
I love her little scowel.

Visitors

My sister and her two adorable girls came to help us with the twins and we had so much fun. My nieces Franny and Sophie were so fun and so cute. Katherine was such a huge help. She cooked and cleaned and she is even pregnant. She is such a good sister. Thanks again Katherine! We had so much fun. It was so nice to have them here with us and to see them with the babies. I loved watching Franny and Sophie hold the twins.



My grandparents even came to visit. It was nice to see them. I love them so much.

The twins are home!!!

We were able to bring them home this last weekend! It was hard not having them home for Christmas but at least we got them home soon after. Warner came home last Saturday and Hannah on Sunday. We are so happy to finally have them home. They are so fun and so adorable. Grant and I are so excited!

Sweet Warner at the wellness center this morning. The nurse told us it was good to let them have some tummy time each day so she laid him on his stomach. He just laid there looking at me and Grant. I had to take a picture. They have the cutest little bodies.

Cute Hannah at the wellness center. She cracks me up. She is so tiny and dainty.

Warner and Hannah are here!

We are so excited and could not be more in love with these two adorable little babies. They were born on December 14th. My water broke Sunday night at 11:45 PM so then we were odd to the hospital. I was just short of reaching 36 weeks. Warner weighed 5 15 and was 19 3/4 inches long. Hannah was 4 13 and 18 inches long. These are very long and skinny babies :).

We are hoping that we will be able to take them home with us soon. They are doing very well, they just need a little help with their eating. Yesterday they had a really good day and they even were taken out of their heated beds and are now in a bassinet together. Grant and I are going to the hospital right now for one of their feeding so hopefully we will get some more good news. We are hoping to bring them home in the next three days. We will be in touch.

There is no better feeling :)

Hannah is always so alert and always makes the funniest faces. The nurses are always laughing at her.

32 Weeks Pregnant!

So here is a picture of me pregnant at 32 weeks. People have been yelling at me for not posting a prego picture so here you go. I had an ultrasound yesterday and they said that the babies are both measuring over 4 pounds, so they are both ahead of schedule! The boy is still bigger than the girl. The doctor says that so far everything looks great.
