Finally...Announcing....

 The Arrival of

Ryan James -- 6lbs 8oz --19 1/4" -- born 3/8/2011 at 12:43pm

Grant Timothy -- 6lbs 7oz -- 18" -- born 3/8/2011 at 2:31pm



It has been a busy few weeks for us...and I am finally getting to a point where I am having some "free" time to be more dedicated to this blog! The boys are being complete angels...pretty easy babies so far!  Leighton warms up to them more and more each day.  We are all adjusting pretty well to our new additions!  More pictures will follow this weekend!!

We had a GREAT two weeks with Daddy being home and was by far the most difficult to see him go. :-(
July can't come fast enough for us!

Let the fun ...

After a disappointing dr appt last week, finding out I am not dilated at all, they won't induce for yet another week, and to top it off I am carrying near 14lbs of baby. It seemed as though there was no end in sight. That Randy may have wasted a trip home without a chance of seeing his boys. 

What a difference a week makes!!! My dr appt of yesterday was a quick phone call to the hospital to get this show on the road to my relief!!  I really couldn't be pregnant one more day!

So here I sit at the hospital getting out a quick blog before the boys get here.  We "checked in" around 8:30 last night to what Randy and I both thought would be a very long night!!  Surprisingly, it went by just as fast as any other night for me these past couple of weeks...Randy slept like a log of course! 

It is now 7:00 am...the dr just broke my water and I am dilated to 3cm...so let the fun begin!!

38 weeks...last preggers picture!!!

Daddy's Home!!

After what seemed to be the looooonnnngggeest week ever...me getting more and more pregnant each day, a sick little one to take care, and to top it off getting the house ready for Daddy so while he knows we live like pigs most days and at least it wouldn't be the first thing he saw when he walked thru the door!

My dr appt for the week was very uneventful, probably not even worth typing to say it was uneventful!  But it appears that the boys will be holding out till their Daddy's arrival to make their debut into the family!

Leighton came down with the croup early mid week and then ear infection...YUCK!  Two trips to the dr, fun stuff for us...not really as the second they say Leighton's name she bursts out in screams and tries to run away. Smart girl as she knows nothing good is coming from behind door number 1!

We are very thankful that Nana took a couple days off to help us and get Leighton on the mend before Daddy got home!! We don't know how we would of survived the week without her!

Randy got out on time and back into the States according to schedule.  We picked him up at the airport on Sunday.  Leighton played somewhat unphased/shy when he got in the car, but she was in her "Elmo Zone" at the time!  As soon as we got home...it was a different story....
