April 7th, 2013, a day to remember forever :)

Our sweet babies were born on Sunday, April 7th, 2013.  Oliver was 18 inches and 5 pounds 9 ounces and Gwyneth was 18.5 inches and 5 pounds 8 ounces.

This was an amazing and wonderful day! I was so happy to welcome our sweet babies into the world. This has to be one of the best days of my life. 

Our visitors that day were my mom, Nate's parents and my brother Chris.

~Here are some pictures from the day were born~

Here is my handsome Oliver. He brings so much joy to my life and loves to be snuggled. 

Here is my lovely and sweet Gwyneth. She spoils me with her smiles. 

And here is a recent photo of my mom with the twins on their blessing day, June 9th, 2013. 

More pics to come in the next blog!

quick end of 2012 summary

Well it has been awhile since blogging. After the tragic passing of my Dad last August, I simply lost interest in some things. A few weeks after his passing I learned I was pregnant. Although uberly excited about it, a part of me was not as happy as I thought I would be. It took till half way through my pregnancy for the pain to ease up a bit over the passing of my Dad. It still hurts every day of course but I know that my new role is to be a great mother… And this role needed lots of my attention.

In the fall 2012 at our first ultrasound the doctor said something like “looks like there are two in there”.  Neither Nathan nor I said anything at first but just looked at each other. I wasn’t sure if I heard correctly so I asked the doctor after a long pause if he said there were two, of which he confirmed. Wow!

In December we were pleased to find out it was going to be a boy and a girl!

Here are a few never seen before shots of my preggo belly! I remember after taking the first one thinking I looked SO PREGNANT. Ha, I really had no idea how huge my belly was really going to get! :)
