Look-a-likes

Madison

Taylor

Mommy as a baby

Payton

These are not the best pictures but they are the best I have to show the similarities. I think that if Taylor and Madison had been born at the same time people would have thought they were identical twins. Every time I look at Taylor I see Madison as a baby. They both look just like their Daddy when he was a baby. Payton on the other hand looks like her Mommy as a baby. This is more obvious when you are looking at her in person but like I said these are the best photos I have to show the similarities. I do see a lot of her Daddy when I look at this photo (especially her mouth) but that will happen when you are a combination of two people. I guess the same can be said for all of them...it's a good thing that both of their parents are so good looking! LOL! It will be interesting to watch them grow up and see who they end up looking like. I know that I went through stages of looking like my Dad and then looking like my Mom then back to my Dad again. ;)

Three weeks old

Hard to believe Taylor and Payton are already 3 weeks old. They had their two week check up last week and are both doing great. Both are weighing in above their birth weights which is good and are currently only 3 ounces different in size. Things are going really well. Nana was a big help the first two weeks by helping out with Madison. (Because of the surgery I wasn't able to lift over 10 lbs.) This has been the first week that it has been just me and the girls and so far so good. Madison is a great big sister and a big help to Mommy. Both Daddy and I couldn't be happier...but looking forward to when they decide to sleep a little longer between feedings at night. ;)

More pictures

Here are some pictures of the girls...I will list the names of the order of how they are sitting. Just an FYI - Payton is the one with hair. ;)

Things are going well. Danny has done a wonderful job taking care of all of his girls...including me! HAHA! Madison has been the best big sister and LOVES to give kisses. We are a very happy family of 5! ;)

Taylor and Payton

Taylor and Payton are here!! I went in for my regular appointment this past Wednesday and surprise, surprise the doctor said lets have some babies. I think it caught everyone by surprise as we all figured I could make it 1 more week. It all happened very fast. I was walked over to the hospital and within 2 hours of finishing my appointment I was on an operating table having some babies. They did fantastic and came out very healthy. They were born at 12:44 pm and 12:45 pm weighing in at 6.1 and 5.15. We are all doing great and Madison is being the best big sister!!

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.
