twice as much to be thankful for!

Where has the time gone?!

I cannot believe that a month and a half has passed since my last post. I have some awesome pics of the events since october 19th. Halloween and what not. My babies are already 3 months old. and as I type, they stir. We'll see how this goes

Eric let me out to go to the store! What a great dad!

Here is a little update on the 3 month olds!

Boyd: He is growing like a weed. On November 24th he weighed 10lbs 3oz! He would eat for 4 hours at a time if i would let him. He loves to smile and has some million dollar ones for us. It is fun to be able to make him smile now! His cry is super sad and doesn't mind giving us some good screams every now and then. This little boy needs/has to be held. It is a habit we are trying to break and I think it is starting to work. As i type him and his sister are in the next room over talking to each other. Which brings up the next step. Boyd is pretty good at talking. he makes all sorts of sounds. soooo cute. He has a big bump underneath his upper lip. It is called a Hemangioma. This could get bigger for up to a year, and usually goes away by the time they are 5 years old! We don't think we'll wait that long to have it taken care of. It doesn't affect his eating too much. but it is starting to. He is starting to hold up his head. We work on this everyday. We love this kid so much!

Brynlee: Is also growing like crazy. On the 24th of november she weighed 10lbs 8oz. She is starting to slow down on the eating. Both kids used to eat for about 1 hour each. she eats in 45 minutes and boyd in 1 hour. (not a big deal. i feed them at the same time!) Brynlee gives us huge smiles. We can make her smile and sometimes she does it on her own. She has the cry of an attacking bald eagle. It is the highest pitch most adorable thing i've ever heard. Her dad and I mostly just laugh when she cries. of course that is sad, but you would too if you heard it! She is really good at holding up her head. it only bobbles once in a while. She is talking a little bit but not as much as boyd. She is a little miss independent. Most of the time now I can put her in a bouncy chair or her swing and attempt to get something done. and she is usually fine! We love her so much!

It is so fun to watch these two grow and develop in different areas at different paces. I love it. I love that i am able to stay home and watch them grow and be able to help them along the way. What a blessing! I have so much to be thankful for!

Our kids turn the big 0! and more fun! (warning:pic overload)

My due date for the twins was October 16th. As you can see by previous post, we didn't come close to making our due date. So on Friday October 16th Boyd and Bryn turned zero. They each way almost 8 pounds and to us are turning in to quite the little butter balls! Enjoy the show!

Enjoy these. It might be awhile! :)

Sorry to all! Updated pics coming soon!

Hello to all. We have been so busy in this Roberts household. The babies are growing every day and are getting cuter (if you can imagine that) as they chub up! :) I love kissing their cheeks and necks and heads. I think it drives Eric crazy! Thats what moms do though. I thought that this stay at home thing meant i would have time to do whatever i wanted. oh boy was i wrong. The kids wake up at 8:30 for their final feeding when mom is ready to get up. I end up feeding the both of them until about 10 ish. (this includes getting the sleepy heads to wake up enough to eat, changing their diapers, and clothes, etc.) Then i eat breakfast and hope the kids stay asleep long enough for me to shower. By this time it is nearing 1 pm. Then i wake up the kids so they can eat again for 2 hours. I try to be productive at the same time. You know, making calls to bill collectors, trying to get previous employers to call me back and all of this while taking a nap. My point in all of this is that I quit a full time job I loved for a fuller time job i love even more. Busy is an understatement and at the same time at the end of the day, i wonder what i've accomplished. Maybe i'll keep a list!..... Kids are crying, time to eat! I promise when Eric gets home tonight or tomorrow or the next day or sometime in the near future, i will post pics of our growing babies! 1 month old already!!! I can't......;)

More pictures

We were finally able to put them in the same crib and they made themselves right at home like they had never left the womb.

This is our money-shot.

He looks like a natural.

New Pictures and Good News!

We found out today that Boyd and Brynlee get to come home THIS Thursday! That will be 1 day before they are 36 weeks along. They have doing very well and the doctors decided they might as well come home to sleep and eat. Sara has been spending the night at the hospital all week so she can feed them 6 times a day, and this Tuesday and Wednesday night she will feed them around the clock while they actually stay in a room with her. In the biz it's called a "stay-in" . We've had visits from Grandpa Steve and Grandma Roberts last week and expect Grandma Gwen in a few days. They finally lost the feeding tubes because they are nursing so many times a day and they only have the little wires to keep an eye on their heart and oxygen.

Brynlee's beauty shot

Bryn loves mommy washing her hair...

...but not the rest of her.

Boyd was pretty cool with it though.
