Since my last post in Dec 2011 a lot has happened. We found out our twins were girls in January 2012. I was able to work my full time night shifts until I was 34 weeks along.(April 1st) Then I took my maternity leave. We found out that we could rent a house from a friend and started getting that house cleaned and ready to move in. I had a baby shower that my mom threw for me in March as well as one my co-workers threw for me at the end of March.
On April 21, with the help of Randle's family and my friend Mindy, they got us all moved and somewhat situated...you know...beds set up and ready to sleep in and groceries put away. We were very thankful for everyone helping us do so before the babies arrived. On Monday April 23rd at 8:38am Cami was born and 8:39am Tess was born. They were born c-section. They were known as Spot (Cami, baby A)and Dot (Tess, baby B). Until we were for sure on the names we wanted. Cami was born and had had a bowel movement in her sac, and her lungs were not quite ready. She was put on high flow oxygen and antibiotics for 2 1/2 days. Tess did very well when she was born. Cami also had a lower HCT than Tess so she had to have her blood drawn daily. The girls and I came home on Wednesday April 25th. My parents met us and greeted us with a sign welcoming the girls and I home. Randle was given 10 days off for us to move and stay home and help with the new babies. It was wonderful to have him home with us. After that my mom came up when Randle was gone working. She was great to have around and help.
The girls will be 5 months old on Sept 23rd. Cami has started rolling over from her back to her belly and Tess is rolling to her side and stops there. I know she is not far from finishing rolling over though. The girls keep me on my toes and busy during the day and night. They are starting to sleep in 4-6 hour increments at night, which I absolutely love. Jesse has started 1st grade and is loving it. He gets to ride the bus to school, and it picks him up right in front of our house. His reading skills are getting better and better.
Here is an update of photos from pregnancy to now of the girls and Jesse with them.
