1 Month

Can you believe it? The girls are already 1 month old. The crazy thing is that my due date is August 3rd....those silly girls aren't even suppose to be here yet. But, I'm so happy to give them hugs and kisses everyday!

The Girls are finally HOME!

After 3 LONG weeks in the NICU, our babies finally made it home for the first time. First, they had to pass the car seat test. Above is a picture of Giuliana doing great! They both past with flying colors! We are so happy to have our precious baby girls home.

What's that smell?

Mommy and Daddy finally got to change their first diaper. It wasn't as bad as expected! But, it did take awhile to get the hang of it. Now it doesn't take 5 minutes to change one diaper!

STRETCH!!!

SLUMBER PARTY!

The girls graduated from separate isolettes to being in the same one together. They love spending time together! They also graduated to wearing clothes!

Best Nurse EVER!

I was so impressed with all the nurses while I was at the hospital. They were all so nice and helpful. But, the best nurse ever was my friend Amanda!!!! I was so happy she was able to be my nurse. It was fun to visit with her and boss her around! Amanda - Thanks for everything!

Happy Father's Day and Happy Surprise Birthday PARTY!!!!

Since DAD had to spend Father's Day in the Hospital and I had to spend my birthday in the hospital the Girls decided to make it worth our time!!!!

Happy 26th Birthday!!

Monday, June 16th was my birthday....but, I'm sure if anyone else realized that. As you can see, I got all dressed up for my birthday! Don't I look pretty?

My birthday was full of lots of excitement. I made it long enough with the steroid shots to help the girls develop their lungs. Now, we just have to wait and see if they are still ready to meet their parents or if they plan on hanging out a little bit longer in me!!

YEP - sure enough....I'm in labor and dilated to a 7! As you can see by the pictures I'm dressed and ready to go in for surgery!!!

Friday the 13th

So, I was at work on Friday the 13th and things were just a little weird. I felt a little nauseous and had trouble focusing. My co-workers convinced me to call the doctor! The doctor told me to go to Labor and Delivery. Feeling a little annoyed....I jumped in my car and headed to the hospital. I called Frankie and told him not to worry - this is not a big deal at all. Next thing I knew I was hooked up to all kinds of 'stuff' to help prevent the little girls from coming into this world. Didn't they know it's still way to early??

Happy 2 Year Anniversary!!

Frankie and I celebrated our 2 Year Wedding Anniversary on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008. The evening was filled with pouring rain, hail, and tornadoes....but, we still managed to make it to Ruth Chris Steakhouse....our special treat once a year! The past year was been filled with tons of fun and lots of love!
