Learning curve for both us and the babies and cats

So we have been home now just over 24 hours...managed our first Dr's apt where of course we have to fill out duplicate forms for everyone /sigh first of many I'm sure.  The babies are still somewhat yellow in colour so they want us back on Saturday to do a weight and colour check again.  The Dr wasn't too worried tho as neither of them have really lost any weight and are eating pretty well.

Dad discovered that its a good idea to check to see if the nipple is properly tightened onto the bottle...after sitting there thinking to himself that wow Abigail was doing a great job of taking the expressed breast milk he then discovered that really most of what she thought she had drunk was now all down her instead of in her...ooops.

It's amazing how quickly time flies by!  We had a Dr's apt at 3:20 didn't get home until 5:30 then fed the babies again and it's already 6:30!  Where has the time gone?  Now time for Mum and Dad to get something to eat before the next round...

Twins!

Due to some unforseen circumstances with blood pressure, I had to take Lanari to the hospital on Saturday afternoon, and the twins were delivered that afternoon around 2:18pm Saturday.

Abigail Rose came first at 5 lbs, 3oz, and Isabel Katherine came in at 6 lbs

Sorry I have not had much time to get to an internet connection but here are some pictures of the twins. Twins are very demanding!

Mother and twins are doing fine, and Father is happy and tired

There is a picture of both of them in the crib- Abigail is on the left, and Isabel is on the right.

There is also some closeup shots of them also.

We will be posting more pictures and stuff online when we get a chance later this week. Also, grandparents will get photos emailed to them also

Been busy...

Glad I'm not working at this point. I think the babies have dropped a little and are sitting hard on my hips making it painful to stand/walk etc. but I'll survive.

Had a totally awesome baby shower over the weekend thank you to my girlfriend...sick as she was. We have most of the pieces now I think we need for the arrival of these two. My hospital visits and Dr appointments keep me busy enough and prevent me from going stir crazy. It's hard to think that in just over 2 weeks, if not sooner I will have 2 new additions to our family. I'm glad that James wasn't didn't rule out having a family :) I think if I was still working I would be cursing a lot now. Instead I am just enjoying my time off sleeping when I can. Enjoying the peace and quiet before the storm. The one thing I can't wait for right now tho are the storage draws I ordered earlier this week so I can actually get the rest of the clothes washed and bedding, but right now I have nowhere to put some of this stuff hehe.

Done with work

That was a sad day I loved my job /sniffle. Ah well 4 weeks of rest and then all hell will break loose I'm sure. Received some lovely flowers, a gift card, and an orchid. I know I need to put my feet up but still.

Jagr's car had some issues again on Friday...oddly enough he was on his way to the garage to get the problem fixed anyway. So it cost $8 in towing to get it to the garage and we have it back already and running a lot better than it was.

We finally took the car seats out of the boxes and he's planning on installing them in the car tomorrow. We also picked up a bunch of useful items at the TVMOTC sale, including a breast pump, nursing pillow, swing and bouncer...oh and a baby monitor as well.

Jagr is working graveyard this weekend which always just messes us both up but not like I have to worry about getting up and going to work Monday morning :)

Babies are nice and active I'm dealing with heartburn and so far so good. I hope I can get a few things done while I'm home without overdoing it too much I know I'm supposed to rest a lot. This week at least I have a few things going on so I shouldn't get too bored.

C Section Has been Scheduled...

So found out Monday C-Section has been scheduled for Nov 3rd at 7:30 am...babies are doing just fine! I've had no leaking/bleeding/contractions so everything is looking a ok as they say.

Apparently both babies are head down but I think we will still decide with the OBGYN to go ahead with the c section. I'm kind of in two minds now that I know they are in a position to be born naturally where as before Isabel has been in breach and would have had to have been delivered by the C Section.

However, I think I messed with Jagr's head when I called him and said honey you want to know when your kids will be born...for some reason he got the idea I was in labor then dropped the phone and went as white as a sheet (according to the contractor that was there at the time). Work apparently didn't stop teasing him about it all day.
