Babies update

Went to the doctor today. They said the babies look good. We aren't 100% sure how big they are right now. We know one is 5.6 (which is right on track) and the other is coming in at 5.12. The 5.12 is the one they were questioning because they thought that was quite large and that would also mean that she gained an entire pound in a week. However she did measure her twice and she came up with 5.12 both times so who knows. As of now I have been given the bed-rest sentence. She said no cleaning or cooking but she kept stressing no cooking...I don't know if that is the main problem she has with women and bed-rest but thought it was funny as I have not been in the mood or had the energy to cook for the past couple of weeks. Oh well. She also kept talking about if we could keep the babies in for at least 2 more weeks...so I am not sure if she is starting to get worried that they may come early. I guess we will just wait and see!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July!! We had a great time playing in the pool. We filled a few water balloons and enjoyed good food. Madison had a blast playing all day but sadly we didn't get to see any fireworks. Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July.

Update

I had a doctor appointment today and all still looks good. The girls are both measuring 5lbs. and the doctor said that both should gain a 1/2 lb each per week until due date. With that being said...we finally set a date. We are very excited to have a date and now the count down can begin! :)

Just a quick update

Madison and I just had another appointment this morning and it went well. Both babies are 4 lbs. which is wonderful...although my hips would disagree. ;) The Doctor said that everything looked great and both babies are doing wonderful. We officially start going to the doctor office once a week here on out so that they can do a bio physical on the babies each week. They will basically be checking their heart rates, growth and making sure they are practicing breathing. Only about 6 more weeks..so excited and ready!!

Had another doctor appointment today. It went really well both babies look great. Baby A did a flip and so now both babies are breached and side by side. I know they both have to be grateful they aren't kicking each other in the face now. Both girls are weighing in just over 3 lbs. which is great! Just hope Momma can make it two more months. ;)

Vacation fun

We have had a very busy month so it was nice that we were able to go on a family vacation last week. We all had a great time but I think Madison had the most fun. She loved the pool at the hotel and kept Daddy busy going from one end to the other. I think her favorite thing to do was to jump into the pool with the close runner up being going down the water slide with Daddy. As you can tell from one of the photos (the night photo) we had a hard time getting her out of the pool. We did visit the beach but Madison wasn't a big fan since the sand was hot. ;) Since we were on vacation she got a very special ice cream treat...you can see from the video she really enjoyed it since it got a little bit of a dance out of her. On our way back home we stopped by to visit with Danny's family so that Madison could spend some time with her cousins. This picture is of Addie showing Madison various things from one of her books. It was a great way to spend our last vacation as just a family of three. :)

2 year photos

Madison got her 2nd birthday photos done yesterday. She wasn't very happy when we started but the people were great and let us play in the room before we started taking photos. Then she was a little more comfortable...but still took her a while to really warm up. Here are just a few of the photos.
