PICTURES!

I figured out how to email the pictures to myself! Here are the boys! Aren't they so cute???!!!


This is David. He loves to sleep. He hates the light and you have to shield it from him so he doesn't furrow his brow. He's just so little!

This is baby Erik. I could only take a couple pictures of him and they all look the same because we couldn't take him out of his incubator. It was so cute though. Steve took me in to see him and he was crying really loud. We walked over to his bed and Steve started talking to him and instantly Erik stopped crying and fell right back to sleep. He knows his Daddy's voice! :)

After being fed, David started to wake up and was looking around a little. He's really alert and will just stare at you! When we were holding him, he kept hearing Kristi and tried to look for her to find her. He knows who Mommy is! :) We have a Momma's boy on our hands!

This is just a picture of David with his binky and you can see how small he really is. That is a normal sized binky they give you at the hospital. It is about half the size of his face. :) He's the sweetest thing ever though! Well, I guess one of the 2 sweetest things ever! :) I love them so much and have only seen them for a few minutes! I can't wait to see them grow and learn and learn to say my name! :)

BABY UPDATE!

My sister Kristi had her twin boys yesterday. :) Both babies are doing good. The first baby took a long time to come out. He played peek a boo with the doctor. He kept getting low in the canal when she would push and then sneak back up when she stopped. Finally the doctor got the suction thing and got his head and sucked him out. He got out and was handed to my brother in law, Steve. The doctor then got ready for the second one and shoved his hand up there to get the second baby turned around so that he could come out (ouch!). He was all ready to go and then the doctor got a really serious face (which is weird for him because he's the happiest man I've ever met) so they shoved my brother in law out the door while the doctor was demanding for a scapel that second. They cut her open and pulled the second baby out. He had the umbilical cord wrapped around his body and he wasn't able to breathe. They hooked him up to breathing tubes and took him to the NICU. They had settled on two names for the boys before they got to the hospital (but probably on the way there) but as Steve was in the hall with the brand new baby, it just didn't stick. So as he sat in the hall, he decided that baby A is David, he was 5 pounds 2 ounces and 18 inches long. After baby B came out, Steve came back into the room and said to Kristi, this is David (which was a name he hated while they were trying to pick out names but she loved it) and Kristi says baby B is now Erik (she named him after the doctor because he saved his life). Baby B (Erik) was 5 pounds 7 ounces and 19 inches long. Erik was in the incubator when I saw him this afternoon, but he is off his breathing tubes and can sustain his body temperature. He will probably be out of the incubator tomorrow (Friday) so he can spend some time with David, Kristi, and Steve. David is eating like a pro and will snuggle into you. The nurses guess that my sister will be able to go home Saturday or Sunday. They are the cutest babies I've ever seen! I took pictures on my phone but I failed to remember my digital camera! Boo on me! We will be seeing them this coming Monday and I promise I will remember then! :) Kristi is doing great after delivering a baby each way. She was up walking (well more shuffling) around. She is pretty drugged up but it makes for some fun conversations! (hee hee). I'm so happy to be an Aunt again and now we just have one more addition to the family to wait for. My brother John and his wife Holly's baby should be arriving shortly!

Baby Alert!

Kristi's twins arrived today. One vaginally and one by c-section. I don't know many details but they are healthy and pretty big! Both are over 5 pounds. I will see them tomorrow and make sure to post some pictures!

USA USA USA!

With the olympics in full swing, I felt a little patriotic! :) I haven't been watching a lot of it but I love gymnastics so that's mostly what I've been watching. I was so sad that there were so many falls at the preliminaries but they will do awesome at the real thing! :) Go Shawn Johnson! :) She rocks! Tune in tomorrow night (Tuesday) to see the US Women's team win the Gold!

Twilight

I'm so excited for the new book and the movie that I changed my blog. :) If anyone hasn't read these books, then you are missing out! They are SO awesome! I love them! Robby is totally my Edward and will be forever!

Just a little piece of me...

I was reading my patriarchal blessing today and I was comforted with the best words I think I have ever read. It talks about how my husband and I will bring children into this world. I kept over looking the fact that I will have children. I've been so worried and distracted that I can't believe I missed that before. I know it will happen now. I had hoped in the past but I know that it will happen. It may not be as soon as I want it to, but it will. It may not happen spontaneously or when I "stop thinking about it" but it will happen. :) I'm so grateful for my Heavenly Father and the answers to my prayers. I know He hears me. I know He loves me. I know I will have children (more than one) :) and that I will do my very best to raise them to know those things too. Life may not be perfect but I'll learn to live with it. :)

A New Day

This past week lasted forever! It's finally over and I'm so glad! :) The stuff with our car did work out. It is the computer to the engine that is broken but it's still under warranty for another 200 miles. That's about a day and a half of driving so I'm glad I went in when I did. I have an appointment to see the doctor to hopefully start fertility treatments. I've had 3 different people say how much they love this doctor so I'm really hoping it doesn't get too insanely expensive. He's an obgyn so when I do get pregnant, I will already know him so that's good. It's time to start a new week and hopefully I can get through this one without breaking down. :) Thank you all for your love and support! I have the best friends and family! I love you all!

:(

It's been a really long day. Our car has been having some problems so after taking it to 3 different places, one who couldn't do anything, one that gave one possible answer and then the dealer giving me another, we are probably going to be spending a lot of money fixing our car. I have one more place to take it to tomorrow for a 3rd opinion and hopefully this one will be the best and cheapest solution. The test was negative, :( so I got an appointment for next month but we may have to put it on hold even further with fixing the car. I'm a little bummed, ok a lot bummed, but I guess it's Heavenly Father's way of saying it's His time, not mine. Thanks for the prayers and love! Hopefully a new job will fall in place and then we will be able to get this all worked out. :)

Tomorrow...

Two posts in one day? Crazy I know. I found out one of my best friends from High school is pregnant... again. This is her 3rd. I broke down in tears (sobbing is a better word) and my husband came to ask me what was wrong. I told him and got him to agree that if I get a negative on my test tomorrow, I can go back to the doctor! Hurray! Obviously I would much rather get a positive so we can save thousands of dollars but I'm so thrilled he has finally consented. I guess he's tired of seeing me break down after everyone else gets pregnant. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

I hope this is in my near future. :)

Kristi's Shower

Kristi's shower was a success! It was a lot of fun! We only played one of the 5 games we prepared but everyone seemed to enjoy just sitting around and talking. Kristi's belly is getting big and the two boys weigh over 3 pounds each! :) She's hoping to make it until the beginning of September before the boys decide to make their entrance into the world! :) She is getting bigger every day but she is still adorable! I am excited to become an aunt once again and get to play with so many snuggly little nephews! :)
