Home Sweet Home

Our twins are home from the hospital and we are so thankful! It has been a long week and we are glad to be home and settling into our new routine and new "normal." It is still hard to believe we now have 3 children! Such a blessing. Though, I will say, I forgot just how sleep deprived the first few months are....every feeding requires a small pep talk to myself. Here are a few pictures from our going home adventures yesterday -

So tiny in their carseats! And, the pacifiers look humongous on their faces!

We are outta there!

We are in love...

...and so overwhelmed with God's incredible blessings and gifts to our family.

Ireland Grace was born August 20th at 1:45am (5 lb. 11 oz.) and Elias Daniel was born just 5 minutes later at 1:50am (5lb. 12 oz.)

35 Weeks

It is really hard to believe that I'm already 35 weeks along - this pregnancy has completely flown by for me. While I'm totally uncomfortable and have a hard time doing almost everything, I know the longer the babies stay cookin' the better things will be. I'm hoping to make it a couple more weeks even though, if I were to go into labor now, they wouldn't try and stop it and the babies would be fine. Emotionally and mentally, Mark and I could both use a couple more weeks to "prepare." Ha! Like you can really prepare for two new babies.:) Anyways, here are a couple updated pictures of my belly at 35 weeks:

I'm thinking the next time I post will be when Ireland and Elias are here! Wow.
