Sleeping Beauty and Sir Eats-a-lot

It is simply unreal to me how fast time has flown.  Evie and Graham are 10 days old today... the best 10 days of my life, no doubt.  It's amazing how having children reminds you how simple life can, and possibly should be.  All we need is love. We must enjoy every moment while we are in it, regardless of what it is. They have already taught me so much about myself.  Graham continues to be my constant eater and cuddle buddy, Evie remains my content sleeping beauty.  Days are getting easier and things are falling into more of a routine thankfully.  I simply can't wait to get out of these four walls, not only for my own sanity, but also to show off my beautiful babes! I am such a proud mommy. :) We are hoping to go for our first walk this Sunday. :) Don't worry,many pictures are soon to follow.

Home Sweet Home

Alas, we are all finally home from the hospital and this past week, although quite a blur, has been absolutely wonderful. The belly picture of me is at 38 1/2 weeks, and if I only knew then what was to come... oh wow. I have loved every single moment of being a mommy... even those sleepless nights with the two of them competing to see who can scream the longest and loudest. :)  I love how delightfully different Evie and Graham are; how the Lord made each of them special and gave them to me. I feel so blessed and priveleged to be their mommy; it has been the greatest honor.  As I was saying though, the only thing these two share  is their birthday; they could be no more opposite. My handsome Graham refuses to miss a thing with his eyes (and hungry mouth) wide open at ALL times. He is so alert and observative and brings us all plenty of laughs and smiles. Evie,on the other hand, is quite alright with sleeping the day away and one would be fortunate to catch a glimpse of her eyes, but oh does she love her arms and fingers, fully stretching every inch of them.  I am still not sure how aware they are of one another at this point, seeing as how one can be literally screaming in the other's ear and the latter will remain in a complete blissful slumber.  They do love to cuddle though, no doubt and all the grandmommy's, aunts, and myself have tried to catch as many of these adorable moments on film as possible. We had our first sponge bath on Tuesday and Evie and I had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, little Mr. Graham did NOT share the same sentiment for this time of soap and suds. :)  I can't wait to see what the next days and weeks have to come and I will try my best between diaper changes to share it with you. :) Motherhood truly is the greatest blessing.

My Sweet Evie and Graham

Just pictures for now, but I will have ever so much to share about these sweet babies soon!

From two to four in FOUR days!!

Only just two for a few more days! I can't believe it's already here. I can't believe I will be holding Evie and Graham this time next week. It all has gone by so fast. In my "mommy reading", it tells me to savor these last few moments of pregnancy for I will miss them.... trying to do just that. It will be strange not to feel their little kicks and hiccups throughout the day, but I simply can't wait to hold them. Putting the finishing touches on baby preparations; it has been quite a process preparing for two babies.  The journey has been wonderful though every step of the way.  I am so excited to be a mother; so thrilled to meet my sweet little ones.  My c-section is scheduled for May 11th, and although I am a little nervous; excitement definitely out-weighs all fear.

The Graco Duoglider Travel System... oh what wonderful things man can make.

37 weeks & 5 days

Alas, THE belly at 37 weeks and 5 days. If you will notice, my hospital suitcase is packed and ready on the bed behind me.

Success At Last!!

FINALLY!!! The blog is looking so much better! I think I have got the hang of it now. Anywho, just wanted to do a "blog victory dance" of sorts. :) So ready to start posting pictures and stories about Evie and Graham. Don't you worry though, I will keep updates of the ever-growing belly as the time draws near.

Days NOT weeks!

It is so incredible to know that it is a matter of days now, NOT weeks until they will be here. Definitely going into nesting overdrive! I have loved being pregnant, but will gladly trade in two swollen feet for two adorable little ones! :)  One shelf and two wooden letters away from nursery perfection; so pleased with how it all turned out. I wanted a shabby chic, old-timey look and I think we have finally accomplished just that. Started on their baby books the other day; such a sweet time. So thankful for the loving support of family and friends; it has been such a tremendous help. Alas, back to nesting I must go!
