3 months old.

The babies have reached 3 months old and have begun smiling and cooing. Kya and Auron love interacting with them and holding them. Auron thinks its hilarious to make them smile. I know soon we will get that sweet out loud laugh.

The twins!!

On Feb 9,2010 i went in for my routine check-up and i was showing signs of the beginning stages of preeclampsia. So i was instructed to do a 24 hour urine test and then come back on friday Feb 12. I went in on Friday and my lab tests were not ready yet. My doctor was furious with the lab. And she said, " i'm sorry but we are going to have to admit you today, because i need you in the hospital when your lab results come back". The tests came back and i definantly was diagnosed with pre-e. My doctor wanted to take the babies that day because my blood pressure kept rising and i was having contractions every 2 minutes. But her higher up said to wait, give the babies a few more days. So i waited 2 whole, miserable days in the hospital. And finally the doctor came in and said, "are you ready to meet your babies?". At this point my blood pressure was rising into the 180's so i was more than ready. So they go and get the OR prepped and i call Dan and tell him to get his arse to the hospital ASAP the twins are going to be born!" He got there after i was already in the OR, right after they finished the spinal. And 2 minutes later at 9:34 Aria Kristine made her debut at 4lbs 11oz 17 in followed by her sister 1 minute later at 9:35 Jocelyn Dawn weighing in at a whopping 5lbs 1oz 18 in (good size for a 34 week preemie). Babies were doing great. I got to nurse them for 2 days and they they started getting really sleepy and would not eat. They dropped weight fast and couldnt keep there temps. So they got feeding tubes and incubater beds. They gradually ate more and eventually they started bottle feeding.. and 13 days after their birth we got to bring them home.. I got to stay in the hospital for the 1st whole week they were in the NICU because my blood pressure remained out of control. I was so relieved to finally get them home. The back and forth to the hospital was taking its toll on me. Kya and Auron were so happy to finally get to meet their sisters!

Almost 14 weeks preggers.

Well im almost at the 14 week mark and i decided to take a picture. Maybe it wasnt the greatest idea. Because i was in denial, i didnt think i could get so big so fast. Now im a little bummed. I dont want to get so big. It was hard enough to get the weight off from kya and auron. But i guess this is the woes of having twins. Here's my 14 week picture.

A BIG surprise!!

I went to my OB/GYN on Tuesday for my 1st OB appointment and an Ultrasound. I was so excited that i was finally going to be able to see my baby! I left work in a hurry and headed to the doctor. As soon as the doctor put the ultrasound thingy on my belly she said, " I think there's 2 in here!" I said, "WHAT are you kidding?" She said, "Nope theres definantly 2 there" And begin taking pictures and calling them Baby A and Baby B. I was in total shock but still got tears in my eyes seeing my beautiful blessings! Im excited but now wish i didnt get rid of Kya and Aurons cribs.. Because 2 cribs are going to be expensive! :O I cant wait to find out the sexes and begin thinking of names!!

Kyas 1st and 2nd day of junior kindergarten!

Kya started Junior Kindergarten on Monday this week. So far she LOVES it. But again she has always wanted to go to school! I think her favorite part is picking out "school clothes" to wear. The first day she was a little upset that she had a new teacher instead of her beloved Miss Callahan again. But she quickly got over that when we arrived at the school. Auron was fine with Kya leaving too. We got him on a nice schedule since he wakes up at 6am. So now he has lunch at 11am and goes down for a nap at 11:30am.. and he wakes up just in time to get Kya at 1:30pm. So mommy is getting some rest and time to my self!

On day 2 Kya wanted to wear her new rock star outfit. She looked sooo cute! And she couldnt wait to get to school. She was completely ready almost 2 hours before we had to go. When we dropped her off, Auron said, "i miss Kya, she's my bess-fren and she's my sis-er". Poor baby had a rough day without his sister. But its all good now, 2 days later!

Auron is potty trained!

Auron saw his 3 year old friends going potty so he decided "on his own" that he wanted to wear big boy underwear too.. So i took him to the store and let him pick out what he wanted. Of course he chose CARS (he's obsessed) But i also picked up a disney variety pack too! The first couple of weeks didnt go so well. We had alot of accidents.. but i stuck with it, and 2 months later he is completely potty trained.. And i didnt have to push him at all. He WANTED to be a big boy. Im so proud of my little man.. And i think he's pretty proud of himself too!

A pirate princess day!

Our local chick fil A had a Pirate Princess dress up party! Kya has many princess costumes but, I could not find a pirate costume anywhere for Auron. So we headed to the local craft store and found all the pieces to make him one. I think it turned out pretty cute! :D If they were dressed up they got a free kids meal! They also enjoyed being able to ride on a real horse and buggy and doing so princess/pirate crafts. But best of All they got to DRESS UP! their favorite!
