123456789...weeks done!


Baby weights
Connor: 13 lb 10 oz
Brayden: 11 lb 14 oz

These past nine weeks have been a ride, that's for sure. We've had dips and bumps, sicknesses and sores, but sweet moments as well. Twins are a tricky business but we are trying to learn the ropes with handling it all. Some days I just want to hide under my sheets :)


My parents and sis had a long lay over in Atlanta on their way to see the shuttle launch in FL (that never did launch...too many delays)

We go for efficiency these days. If only Connor was old enough to cut asparagus...


Ron couldn't sleep last night after being awakened at 2:30 for feedings. This morning he said "It's amazing what you can get done with two hands and no distractions" Gotta love it!


Easter morning picture take one

Take two:
Ah, much happier



Do you think "Baby Wise" would approve of baby falling asleep on the bathroom rug or slumped over in a nursing pillow? If not, I will write a new book on "How to best hide sleeping baby from older siblings"




Ron took this during one our sick periods. We are all healthy now and I don't think I've ever been as grateful to be healthy as I am now. What will the next 9 weeks bring?

You guys are such troopers. Way to go Ron by helping out with the middle of the night feedings! I love the Easter outfits for your kids - your boys look so dang big in those suits!
And even though I am a Babywise Mom myself - I say take the sleep when and where you can get it! Anything that helps keep everyone sane is a good thing. Can't wait to hear about the next 9 weeks!

Oh, thanks for all these beautiful pictures! I'm just so grateful!
Baby Wise is knowing to leave a sleeping baby alone. I'm just so proud of you, Mama!

Cute pics. What a beautiful family even if it is a lot of work....OK a ton of work. It's all worth it. The "slumping" always makes you feel badly, but I hope you got a lot done while he did it.

What a post. Rachelle looks so good. Those babies are happy and healthy in every picture -- quite a feat. Love the Easter morning garb. Those suits with the gray are almost as stunning as Becca's magenta dress. Miss you.
