More Pictures of the Ladies

Not much to say today, but I want you all to see the latest pictures of the Nuggets sleeping. That's still about all that they do - eat, sleep, cry, & pee (more than poop now, hurrah!).

I'll let you know when they start to smile at us (they do a little, but it's only when they're sleeping so I don't think that really counts if you ask me). For now I'll have to enjoy the baby back arch & neck kisses from dad as the highlight of my baby time!

Reese - my lil "Reesey Reese"

Sweety Sage with Mira - I just love that kid!!

The Latest News

The babies are home now and we are starting to get adjusted. We have gone through feeding the babies every two hours, with a bottle, without a bottle, only one kid with a bottle, now both kids, now every three hours to whenever they wake up. I've come to the conclusion that you can't go wrong doing anything because anything is just one person's opinion. You can really only mess up if you forget to feed them and that is hard to do with them screaming, so we'll keep them alive!

Shalyce is doing good. She is up and about a lot better post-twins than she was when Sage was born. She went on her first little outing today with Sage and left the babies with me. She wasn't sure she'd make it (I think she was worried about leaving them with me. I taught the twins to fart & burp while she was gone so maybe she has something there).

Here are some new pictures. Enjoy!

Introducing Reese and Mira

Shalyce's water broke this morning at about 5:30 and soon we welcomed two little miracles into the world....
Reese ("baby A") born at 2:37pm weighing 5#-13oz. and 20" long and
Mira ("baby B") born at 2:41pm weighing 4#-13oz. and 20" long

Mom and babies are doing well. Shalyce's wish to have a mid-wife deliver the girls came true and they were both delivered vaginally with no epideral. Shalyce is truly amazing!

Office Day With Dad

Here are a few pictures from 2 weeks ago when Sage came to "help out" at the office. She was bored out of her mind by the second day, but it gave Mom a break to finish up a tough work project - small sacrifices.

In case you're wondering, I'm the tool on the left (pictures make me look so lurpy, maybe I really am?) and "Fred" is the handsome man in the middle. He's a sporty dresser and quite popular with the kids & passer-byers.

Maybe my next post will have Babies' news, but then again probably not.

Laters!

Nothing New ?!?!

Hey Everybody,

What can I say, I got nothing today or all of last week (I guess that is my reason for posting nothing). We just keep waiting for babies. I did put together a new pack & play and two bouncy seats. I guess that is something?!

Other random thoughts:

No Pie Pizzaria, Rosaties, or Nellos in Oregon - very sad!!!!

The Yankees are in last place - very sad!!!

The Lakers are good - very happy!!!

It's raining all weekend - at least it's not winter cold - semi-sad!!!

Shalyce's belly is big, but so is mine - very very sad!!!!

Starting to train for a marathon next year - very happy (once I actually start)!!!

Friends getting me into the Nike Employee store (50% discount) - very happy!!!

So there are my thoughts as I sit slouching in my office chair - bad for a chiropractor I know, but at least I'm being honest.

Here's a picture of Shalyce at 34 weeks. Still smiling!
