My Favorite Lousiana Twins--And Precious Elise

2009-12-22T09:43:00.007-05:00

Yesterday I was BRAVE..The boys and I jumped in the car and headed to Jackson to visit my friend Nicole--We had SO much fun! We went to my favorite restaurant..Kiefers..and I had already downed a pita mots before Nicole and her three little ones arrived...SO much for being one of those people that gets really skinny after kids...! I was so happy to get to see them! Nicole's little Elise is just such a proper little lady (she would definitely be betsy's favorite)and the twins are just full of spunk! Bennett loved the twins and seemed to be fascinated with them and little Lila just seemed to love life--so curious and FULL of personailty!! I can't wait until the boys get to that age so I can see their little personalities! Nicole is one of my dearest friends and has been my "GO TO" girl for twins! She always has the BEST advice, ideas and always has such a positive attitude...She was MADE to be a mom!--and her three little ones ADORE her..My other Lousiana Favorite, Shelley, couldn't make the trip--but The twins and I will be back in february--whether they want us or NOT :)
ON our way out of town we stopped by Millsaps again to see Swayze...I don't have any pictures (stupid D) but had SUCH a blast being with her...she is ALWAYS total entertainment and FULL of FUN!

Here are some pictures from out little adventure

Merry Christmas from Misssissippi!

how did i ever live without the PODEE?

2009-12-09T23:13:00.005-05:00

Just like my friend nicole said "we like to move it! move it!"-we have been on the RUN....traveling all OVER the place!..and i am exhausted but i HAD to upload this..My friend Kathleen sent it to us and I don't know HOW i have lived without it! They looked so funny using it today! They loved it! This makes my life SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOO much easier..I have always propped their bottles (I know--bad mommy) but Wyatt was ALWAYS kicking the bottle off (remember--he is our diva--total diva move)--or it would slide,etc..I think this may be the answer to our prayers! Don't worry--I won't set their new funnels up and leave them alone--but I will definitely love having a free hand for a minute!

The holidays are HERE! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of those weeks!

Our Little Pumpkins

2009-11-02T23:18:00.003-05:00

Well--Our Halloween was pretty uneventful! Since the boys still are not supposed to be around children there really wasn't much we could do..But we dressed them up and took pictures and that was about all they could handle! They didn't last long in their pajamas, but we did think they looked adorable!

A few Random Shots

2009-10-20T14:53:00.006-04:00

Okay--so I am starting to get a little annoyed with the Blog thing....its takes me forever to upload pictures b/c I can only do it one at a time..I need a lesson on blogging! Can anyone help? ANYWHOO--life has been so much fun around here! We went to the doctor's office on Friday and the boys are doing great! Dyer weighs 8.2 and Wyatt weighs 9.3. They acted like little crazy men in the doctors office hooting and hollering the entire time, but we were happy to get a good report!! People were staring at me on my way out...Not sure if they were staring at the boys because they are just so cute..or staring at me because I am now getting to the point where I can barely even hear their screams! In public I just pretend not to notice the noise level when I can't do anything about it! The picture above just cracked me up..Russell took this picture while he was in charge this weekend..He said he looked over and Dyer has just fallen over like that in the bouncy..So then--the next time Dyer went in the bouncy Russell decided that this is the way Dyer likes to be from here on out! So funny!

Russell and his two men were so busy all weekend! They watched football, football and more football! It was a great break for me so I got out of the house and ran some errands. Russell also woke up with the boys ALL weekend..I slept in the bedroom in the basement both nights and slept until after 10 each morning! Such a treat..I feel like a new person! Will take some more pictures this weekend!

One home...One to go!

2009-09-28T23:42:00.001-04:00

I have been such a slacker! I am so sorry! I do have a good excuse though.. I wasn’t feeling that great last Thursday and I called the OB’s Office and they said I needed to go to the ER immediately. I had some shortness of breath along with some other issues and they told me to go in..I walked into to tell Russell and then told him I thought it was a little extreme….I called the doctor back and they told me to go immediately..So OFF we go back to Piedmont to check into the ER..I think the doctors thought I had a blood clot, but it turned out I just had fluid in my lungs..I don’t think it is a big deal and just have to go back this week to check up on it..But we spent about 7 hours in the ER and once again Russell was back and forth between seeing me and going upstairs to see the boys! We came home and I think I slept about 35 out of the next 48 hours. I feel much better now and FINALLY think I am now on the road to recovery! Lets HOPE!—I am not sure how much more Russell can take!
On a better note…Dyer came home yesterday! We are so happy to have him with us! I was so sad to leave Wyatt behind but hopefully we will have him home tomorrow! Dyer rocked our world last night and Russell and I realized we are DEFINITELY amateurs! That baby would breathe wrong and Russell and I were BOTH up making sure he was still alive…Lets hope we get a little calmer with time!
We only have 8000 pictures of Dyer’s arrival, but I am just too tired to download them! I promise I will do so tomorrow! Over and out!

Still hanging out in the NICU

Baby Wyatt and Big Wyatt

Wyatt--drunk on milk!--No more tubes...well--except a a little

feeding tube but we don't count that!!

Dyer--Sound asleep in his sweet blanket Mrs. Thackston gave him

Wyatt again--dazed and confused..

Dyer--A few days ago
Dyer and Wyatt are doing great! They are both eating and slowly but surely gaining weight!We thought Dyer may come home today, but now this weekend is looking to be more realistic! They just want to make sure he DEFINITELY has his eating down before they send him with us! They are sending him home with a breathing monitor so he will have that for a month or two..Kind of scary –but if he stops breathing –this machine starts screaming so we have to then remind him to breathe… As scary as it sounds, I think it will reassure me he is okay the more I get used to it! The doctor has told us that the boys can’t have visitors for 1.5 months..We definitely hate this, but obviously are doing everything we are told at this point. We just want to get the twin tigers as strong as we can---and then the party can begin!
I am slowly but surely recovering and now the only pain I really have is from the spinal block they did and not really from the c-section…I think I forgot to write about the spinal block—But a couple of days after the c-section I started getting terrible headaches—they figured out my spinal tap had leaked and they had to take blood out of my arm and put it in my back to fix it..It really was wild….But it worked and now no more headaches but I am just sore from that little procedure.
Russell is doing great and is really better with the boys than I am. I just feel like I am about to break them while he looks like a natural
Dogs are good but they know something is up….Not sure what is going to happen when the little ones arrive..but don’t fret—I am sure we will document every move they make so I will definitely post!
All for now!

Making Progress!

Russell got to hold Wyatt for the first time today!

Below is a picture of Dyer...he seems to be so laid back and I haven't heard him cry once! He is eating through a bottle every other feeding and then they feed him through the tube the other times..Hopefully they will increase him to every feeding through a bottle soon! He is so cute and just really started opening those eyes today...I am THINKING he may come home this week...They haven't told us that, but I am hopeful!

This is a picture of Wyatt above...I hesitated even posting this picture with all the wires, but he is doing FANTASTIC!! I promise it looks worse than it is! He had so many tubes before this that this seems like nothing to me! He has now been moved into the room next door and is right by Dyer! I really don't think they look that much alike now that I have seen them beside each other! ..I got to hold him today and he is now eating through a bottle rather than the feeding tube! We are so proud of him! He is a FIESTY little thing...he is ALWAYS trying to pull his wires out and is always kicking those legs! I think Wyatt may be our DIVA!

Russell and I got home yesterday and no--we have NOT forgotten about the PUPS!! They were THRILLED to have us back and we were SO happy to see them! We gave them a hat of Dyers to sniff and check out and Bama proceeded to try to tear it up! It was hilarious..We are hopeful he doesn't do this to Dyer or Wyatt. We will let you know!

I am finally on the mend and my spinal block seemed to "take" so no more headaches!

Russell has been a champ and finally got some good sleep today...We are about to head up to the hopsital to see the boys one more time today and then Russell will be cooking out on the grill! Hopefully next weekend he and the boys can cook out together!

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Day 2

2009-09-16T06:37:00.005-04:00

It is day two and we are anxious to see the boys! They are both now in the NICU and I have only gotten to see them once. I was able to hold Dyer, but haven't been able to touch or hold Wyatt. Russell will get to go see them both again at 8 today and hopefully I will get to see them again this afternoon. They are both being fed through an IV and getting help with oxygen, but hopefully they will be on their own soon! They are definitely the biggest babies in the NICU (which we are thrilled about), so hopefully they will not have to stay in there too long!

We just found out yesterday around 7 that the boys would be making their arrival so soon! My platelet count was low and on Tuesday A.M. they tested it again and it was even lower...So they scheduled us for a c-section at 12:30. My sister was able to hop on a plane and make it, and mom and dad arrived a couple hours later! Russell's mom and Aunt Lynn were here so everyone got to see them for a while until they whisked them away to the NICU!

They had me on some medication yesterday that made me completely crazy! I threw up about twice an hour, fell asleep about every 30 minutes and then talked uncontrollably until I would pass out again! The last "side effect" may not have been the drugs but may have just been my me :)......But I told everyone that would listen that there was NO possible way I could EVER be a drug addict because I absolutely hated the way this made me feel....I thought that the statement was so hilarious that I repeated it to everyone and anyone that would listen!! I am now on some new drugs which are making me feel a bit more normal! I may have to stay a bit longer than they thought because of the low platelet count thing but they will just continue to monitor me. We are hoping that baby dyer will be out of the NICU today or tomorrow but they said that Wyatt would be a bit longer! We will keep you updated!

2009-09-15T07:05:00.001-04:00

They just came to tell me that the babies will be here by 12 or 1! My blood count went down to 74,000--which isn't good..But it means They will take the babies today!!!! YEAH! We can't wait! Will post pictures asap!!!!!!!

Back in the Hospital

2009-09-14T21:05:00.003-04:00

We are back in the hospital because I am so swollen I look HUGE! They ran some tests and my platelet count is low...it is 95,000...Apparently anything below 100,000 is low...So--they will take my count again tomorrow at 7 and we should know more then. If it has stayed the same then they will just monitor me. If it is lower then they will probably go ahead and do a c-section tomorrow. The boys may be here within 24 hours! We will keep you posted!

Some Big BOYS

2009-09-10T16:23:00.004-04:00

The Doctor has scheduled my delivery for September 28th..I cannot BELIEVE I am going to be pregnant for 2.5 more weeks...I am HOPING I will go into labor earlier than that..They measured them on Tuesday and they think they weight 6.6 and 6.3...I think they will be Johanna's Size by September 28th. People stare at me WHEREVER I go now..It is going to be a long 2.5 weeks...!!! Will keep you updated!

Still getting bigger...

2009-09-02T12:16:00.003-04:00

Another Doctor's appointment today and nothing new....Still pregnant...Still on bed rest....and Still getting bigger....What a shocker! :) My mom is still here taking care of me and my house is SPOTLESS..I love it! Russell will be back on duty tomorrow night so we will see how he does! No signs of delivery yet!

This can't be normal.........;)

33 Weeks Pregnant

First trip to the Hospital

2009-08-22T17:33:00.001-04:00

Just wanted to post a little update on our status...We had a High Risk Doctors appointment yesterday and when we went in I was having contractions that were 5-6 minutes apart...They checked us into Labor and Delivery immediately where I have just been hanging out for the weekend…..They have been giving me shots to stop the contractions so hopefully that is working!! The Doctor just came back in and said I hopefully can go home tonight! But they are saying it is bed rest from here on out! MIZERABLE!
I have sent Russell to get a new car to try to take advantage of the Cash for Clunkers deal..Can't wait to see what he comes home with! If it is a minivan, I may just fall over and DIE...NO OFFENSE TO ANY MINIVAN DRIVERS!! I am just NOT there yet!
We are hopeful that we can last a little bit longer with the twins. I am 32.5 Weeks so hopefully we can make it to at least 34..We will keep you updated!
