I have always told friends with babies to enjoy every minute because time is gone before you know it. But it's crazy to experience it one again. I was so young when I had my first 2 that I don't think I appreciated it as much, and now my oldest son is 13 today! Crazy!</p>
<p dir="ltr">On Monday, the twins turned 4 months. And as I posted this I realize I didn't even post the 3 month pictures so those will be next. Both of them are really getting personalities and smiling a lot.  They absolutely love their older siblings, smiling at them constantly. Both are beginning to babble, reach out for toys on their play mat, sleep a little longer at night and notice each other a little more. This last month they went in the pool for the first time. Andrew loved it Kamdyn did pretty good!  </p>
<p dir="ltr">Kamdyn is just a beautiful little baby. Get eyes light up when she smiles and they are still staying bright blue we'll see if that lasts! She hates being on her tummy. Loves to watch faces. She drools like crazy and makes bubbles with her spit! She is definitely not a lady like one, she's always farting like a man, kids crack up at it! Her personality is a little more reserved than Andrew she really takes you in before showing her smile.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Andrew is handsome as can be! He smiles almost always and smiles huge at big sister Ry. His eyes have changed more to gray and he is very bald! He enjoys playing on his tummy or back in the play mat just watching each item swinging. When he is next to Kamdyn he always reaches out and grabs her hand or arm, she screams at him! He is almost always happy but when he's mad wow you know it! </p>
<p dir="ltr">I am truly blessed with these beautiful babies. Don't get me wrong there are days it's hard but seeing their smiles is truly a reward. I am amazed at how much patience I have and how I've just adjusted to not being very productive! Trust me there are days it makes me crazy to do nothing but nurse all the time but everything has it's season and in enjoying this one. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Here's there crazy photo shoot. I am definitely a horrible photographer. That's Phil 's job! </p>

March for babies<p dir="ltr">Today was our first 5k walk for the March of dimes foundation. With the babies being born premature at 32 weeks, spending 3 weeks in the NICU, we wanted to give back somehow! This week be our new yearly tradition to honor the journey we have taken with the twins abd the strength we gained from it. </p>
<p dir="ltr">It was a great day with the family. Grandma and grandpa also walked. We also have great friends Chad and Milisa who walked, they supported our team and our other friends the Aguirre's for team little Reuben! What an amazing day!</p>
<p dir="ltr">With our family team we raised about $1300 dollars, not bad for the first year and we're hoping to only increase this each year on out! Thank you so much too all of you who gave to Team Bardos twins, K & A.</p>

It's crazy how fast that came and went! Since I see them everyday they look as though they haven't grown much but I know they have. We go to the doctor tomorrow for an official weigh in but I would assume they are right around a normal newborns weight of 7 to 9 pounds. <br>
Life has gone back to the normal busy days for the Bardos bunch. Now we just have a stroller and two car seats in tow. The : babies have been to the ice rink for big brother Matt's hockey, honor roll awards for big brother Dillan, the dance studio for big sister Lyndsay's dance class, the park for big sister Devyn's track and field and had time to hang out with big sister Ryleigh and her boyfriend! These babies are loved by so many, kissed on all the time and smothered with excitement still from their siblings. I'm sure it will all wear off eventually but for now I'm just absorbing it all. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Milestones and Memories</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kamdyn and Andrew, you are still sleeping side by side in the your twin pack n play from GG Ellen. When one of you cries the other stays sounds asleep next to the other. Kamdyn you have found your voice with a bloody murder screeching cry. Both of you are the messiest eaters, we go through bibs and burp cloths like crazy. It drives daddy crazy how much of a mess you guys make, lol. Andrew you are spitting up almost always after you eat. We haven't had any voluntary smiles yet but you are awake a little more these days. Sleep is still happening in about 3 hour intervals, if I'm lucky I get one four hour period at night! For the most part you both stay on schedule together, eating at the same times, it makes my life easier but I'm already trying to teach you patience, lol! When it's mealtime I change each of your diapers before and boy do you love to scream while waiting, I tell you both to be patient and wait for the other to get changed. So far neither of you are being very good listeners! LOL! Daddy and I love you so much and are enjoying watching you grow!</p>

This ceremony is to signify that we will raise our children in a christian home, teaching them about God, the bible and his amazing unconditional love and forgiveness. With these teachings it will be our hope that they make the choice to be baptised one day and continue to grow in their faith. We invited our closest family and friends. We know that it takes a village to raise kids and all of these people we wanted here to know how important their roles are in the kids lives. We shared in the ceremony, dinner at the house and then a fun night at Matt's hockey game. He loved having so many supporters that night!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now we know we aren't perfect people or Christians but we do try our best each day. And in our life we know the most influenced individuals are our children, all 8 of them (I'm still not used to saying that yet)! We will continue to strive to better our faith so that the children see this and do the same. My hope is that each of the kids will be strong enough in their faith to share it with others, not necessarily with words but instead with actions. It is the things we do for others without looking for gratification that truly show the character we portray. I know that this is not easy each day but when we are able to do this with God's love behind it. <u>We</u> then learn more about him and ourselves. Now for me, I need to grow in my faith with daily reading in the bible and turning toward his plan each day. Easier said than done but like I said we aren't perfect. Guess what....He loves us anyway! What a mighty and powerful God!</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the ceremony we were to choose individuals we want to help us guide these babies in their faith. We asked all of our family members here to help with that however we also asked our mother's to be the matriarchs to truly lead them. You'll see beautiful pictures of my mom, Sandi, holding Kamdyn and Phil's mom, Anita, holding Andrew. </p>

Milisa came over to the house and did an all day photo shoot with the twins. The best part was just hanging out with her all day, then having her husband Chad and son Jaxson come over after! We are so blessed to have them as some of our best friends. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This was the first time Milisa had shot twins so we both pinned some ideas from pintrest and tried them out. I really wanted to get some of those adorable crochet outfits but it didn't work out so we went with things we had! Here were the awesome results! There were so many more but these are my favorite...</p>

We spent our first eek at home with them getting to know their little personalities a little more. Their amazing siblings were all able to meet them in person and help take care of them. Each of the kids have been so helpful with everything and amazingly loving each day to our beautiful new additions.</p>

Here are 3 week photos.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This was an extremely eventful day...we visited babies in the morning to get my 3 week picture. Then we ran a few errands and next thing we knew the hospital called to say we could take them home. The most exciting thing was they both got to come home! They graduated from the nicu together. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We are so extremely grateful to the nicu staff at Parkview community hospital. We learned a ton from these amazing nurses and doctors. They helped us get through a difficult time. Most of all they fought just as hard for or babies as we did. They challenged them to reach milestones, encouraged them and touched our hearts forever. Thank you to each of you that had a shift with the Bardos Twins!<br>

Life for most is very stressful. I know that's the case for us almost everyday. Between renovating our new house, dealing with a contractor, a budget, then stresses of kids, homework, school projects, getting our oldest home to finish college things, and newborn babies on top of that, life can get the best of us at times. But lately, I am just amazed at how truly blessed all of those things make us! </p>
<p dir="ltr">As I am sitting here I am watching my dad working on our backyard. He is truly a man I admire, he works hard everyday of his life, he enjoys it and he lives to give his family the best. Then there's my mom, she works just as hard everyday, it's a different work but she gives 100% to each part of her life and balances it all amazingly! Today my husband called me a princess because as we renovate my parents keep telling him she wants, or she said. I don't believe I'm a princess but I do know that I'm very well taken care of by all. My parents worked hard all of their lives to give us everything and today they continue to do the same. To say they only do it for me is a lie, they enjoy giving to me, my family, their grandkids and others. You ask how do I know this, because I'm the same way and I learned it by watching them. Thank you mom and dad for continuing to bring daily joy into my life and working hard on our home that your family will enjoy for so many years to come!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now the beauty of my day doesn't stop there. Inside I have an amazing husband that does his best to provide me with the best life, not only from a financial perspective but also adoration perspective. He adores me so much that he sits next to me to feed the twins, he takes the older kids to and from school without complaining, he goes to a fafsa meeting to help our daughter get funding for college, he keeps in contact with our oldest and her husband to guide them in life. I am truly blessed to have a man that is so willing to be my partner in this crazy thing we call life.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Once again...What a beautiful day it is! And I didn't even share about the 9 miracles I call my children, each unique and loving in their own ways. I have grown to truly enjoy their quirks, laughter, tears and love they share with us! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Take the time today to stop and thank God for your blessings, I know I'm going to!</p>

They are just extremely precious and never cease to amaze me! Each day they get stronger and stronger, bringing more joy into our lives. </p><p dir="ltr">Kamdyn went from struggling to catch up with her brother to passing him by in a flash. She came off of her oxygen and never looked back. Their goal for this past week was to come off of the iv fluids and nipple from a bottle at their feedings. She took to it right away which allowed for me to start breast feeding her right away as well. That first try of nursing was just prefect. It's been 10 years since the last time I nursed and I had forgotten just how special it is. Her eyes looking up at me, creating a bond like no other. For being premature she is nursing really well. If I am available for a feeding at the hospital she usually nurses for 15 to 20 mins, and takes half of her bottle or more. I try to get in at least one feeding per day but have been there for 2 most days. Kamdyn is now up to 4.6 lbs and we were told there's a chance she can come home this week.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Andrew is still just a chill little guy! This has made it a little more challenging for him at this stage. He has the same goal as Kamdyn to nipple each feeding. Now, because premature babies are so small what happens is the energy it takes to nipple, swallow and breathe burns a ton of calories and exhausts them. This is what is happening for him. He will take a bottle for his first feed then feeding tube the next because he's so tired he doesn't even wake up to eat! He's just chill! Drew is still gaining weight up to 4.1 lbs and taking more and more each feeding so he's moving in the right direction which we are so proud of. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This week we were able to hold them side by side for the first time and the older kids were able to come to the nicu window to see them. It's funny since having them we go in to visit everyday but you forget they are twins because they are away from each other. Phil and I just think of them as two babies. We are so excited too bring them home to really experience this crazy journey! The older kids were amazed at how small they are. Each of them said in pictures they don't seem that small. They are dying to love on them and be helpful big siblings!</p>
<p dir="ltr">That's the update so far! Phil and I are holding up well. He is back at work for now which he says is hard because he thinks about them constantly. I spend my days at the hospital and my evenings with the kids at home, my nights are spent pretending like babies are here pumping every 3 hours. Our freezer has turned into a milk factory! I am staying unusually strong for most of the week and then I have one night of tears. It makes it hard to talk about because of course I know the twins are doing amazing and will be home soon but there is still a void in my life right now that I don't know how to fix. Soon enough they'll be home and the tears will be coming still because twins I have heard will do that to you, lol! Whatever the case I'm ready to bring my babies home. Hopefully next week their 3 week pictures are side by side in our home!</p>

Those of you who are unfamiliar with preemie babies they are aged in gestational weeks until they become full term. We learned this a little bit when our great friends the Rucker family had their twins at 25 weeks. I'm happy to report they are 2 years old and thriving. </p>
<p dir="ltr">At this point Kamdyn and Andrew are just defying the odds and getting so much stronger each day. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Kamdyn is gaining weight lost back but not quite to birth weight, she is 4 lbs 3 oz. She was known as the princess or diva of the nicu because she just wanted the nurses attention with her little whimpers. She has now calmed down and is a little more relaxed. She had to be under the jaundice lights for about 3 days, her numbers went up adding one more day then her brother. Her iv came out today and she lost her nasal cannula yesterday. She only has her feeding tube now. Her feedings are full feeds about 1 oz and she does not leave any residual food in her belly which means she is digesting wonderful. Her face without all of the tape is just beautiful!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Andrew continues to be the rockstar! He was taken off oxygen and his nasal cannula at the 3 day mark. Then a day later no more iv. He is on what they call a fast track for feedings, increasing almost every 12 hours. His weight is still a little off of birth weight, weighing 3 lbs 9 oz. His personality is so chill. I was able to spend one day with him this week where I changed his diaper twice, held him for 40 mins and he didn't make a peep. He is just adorable.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you for all of your prayers. We still have at least a two to three week journey ahead in the nicu but we're past what I would consider the scariest moments. As for rest of the family, Phil and I are doing great. We try to visit them at least once per day sometimes twice. The kids are dying to meet their little siblings but being very patient checking on them all the time with the nicview website. We can't wait to bring them home.</p>

Now here I sit in a hospital room, it's midnight and I just want to share the blessing of the past few days.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Bardos bunch welcomed the twins into the world a few days ago. They were born on December 27, 2014 at 4:25 and 4:27 pm. Soon enough I will give details of the day but for now here is where we stand! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Kamdyn Louise weighing 4 lbs 9 oz came out first. She was a true fighter, being only 32 weeks along, they didn't quite get the steroid shot through my system long enough that it could truly get to the babies. But Kami still came out breathing just fine. She got wrapped up tight and I was able to snuggle my face next to hers for a bit in the surgery room. Since arriving she has struggled a little. She wasn't able to keep the air circulating so they placed her on oxygen to help her out. It has taken her a few days but she is now getting the hang of things and is breathing with just a little push of air but circulating her own oxygen. She is absolutely beautiful, she has the darkest hair, little squinty eyes and she hates being unwrapped. Of course we have fallen in love.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Andrew Randall came into the world just after his sister weighing 3 lbs 15 oz, almost 4 lbs...he wasn't quite able to get the oxygen flowing right away and was placed on oxygen immediately. I got a quick glimpse of him in the surgery room but then off he went with Kamdyn and daddy to the nicu. Since, he has just proven to be a rockstar! He was very shortly off of the oxygen and push of air and been breathing on his own since that night. He keeps all his stats up where they are supposed to be. He is very chill and relaxed almost all of the time. Today they had their first feeding day with breast milk into their feeding tubes and boy did he digest it right up. He's been able to go right into the next feedings without any problems. Andrew's hair is a bit lighter and he likes to keep his light eyes open a lot during the day. He is just so handsome I can't get over it!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Phil, the kids and I are all doing great. I decided to stay one more night in the hospital to be close to them. I'm really pushing myself to pump away and give these babies as much of my milk as I can. I can definitely say it has been a few days of roller coaster emotions for me. Being a mom is one of the best gifts in the world, and I have 6 amazing children already to show for that. I may not have given birth to each one but I have fought for them, protected them, loved them, nurtured them and will continue to for the rest of their lives no matter how old they get. But these last few days have been difficult, here you carry these beautiful humans inside of you for whatever the time frame God allows, then they enter this world and it took me a while to truly understand my role. The nurses and doctors are directly in control of their daily lives, we have of course only dealt with amazing nurses and doctors, but for a mom you feel lost. What can I do to protect them and show them I'm here. But the most amazing thing I just witnessed walking into the nicu at midnight to hand over my one thing I know I can give them, milk, was that they know I'm here for them! God already taught them who I am and all I had to do was say hello and I love you too both of them and I could tell they heard me and reacted to my voice. As we continue to visit as often as we can in the nicu, I'm confident they will just get stronger and stronger and be ready for anything this world throws at them! They better be because their 7 siblings are just dying to meet them face to face and smother them with love and kisses!</p>

We got the new house, have been doing some clean up work on it, watching the contractors tear it apart and begin putting it back together through renovations, done 2 weddings, threw a fall festival at kids elementary school, Halloween, had our 2nd oldest begin applying for college, she received her first acceptance, oh and the babies are growing like crazy inside of me! Lol</p>
<p dir="ltr">I haven't been keeping up with my blogging at all because I rarely have time to sit at my computer. These pictures are from week 23. We attended a Halloween party. So it's not exactly my picture next to my board and black does wonders to disguise my tummy but here it is!</p>

That's a total of 9.5 months! Yes, it has felt like forever. Our patience almost wore out and we began looking at other properties. We had found a second home we liked but just couldn't decide what to do...this is where this crazy journey gets confirmed to us as a true blessing!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I believe it was 3 weeks ago, on a Monday, we went into our church to meet with our pastor. We had gotten to the point that we just didn't know what to do with the short sale property and this new house. The new house was ready to move in, had great features for our family, we could hold small events if we wanted to but I just want sold. Phil definitely was! The other house (short sale) worried us because we knew we had 3 months of renovations which put us moving in around Christmas, which is also pretty close to when we expect these twins to arrive. I kept trying to have faith that God always has a plan that is larger than we know, he wouldn't have blessed us with twins if he didn't think we would have a home to bring them into. Phil was mostly worried about me, the stress of moving really pregnant and renovations while knowing the twins are on they're way. So this was why we went to meet with our pastor. We asked him about our prayers and really how to know when God was speaking to us. Pastor Tom, was in the middle of telling us how it's ok to ask God a specific question in your prayers and then move forward if it is not answered. If God does not want us to change our path he will guide us in the direction he wants us to go one way or another. Then as he was telling us this Phil receiveda text from our realtor. Lisa told us that the short sale house was ours and escrow would begin the next day!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here is the beginning of we started!</p>

OR LESS!I can't believe it's been 18 weeks already. We are almost to the halfway point, I'm sure for me and my body probably to the halfway point! Plus for twins full term is actually 38 weeks, so one more week to the exact halfway mark. So no more waiting here it is....<br>

This is actually a picture of a tiny belly and this week I have had more than one of the kids say wow mom you're BIG! I keep telling them, just wait.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week was actually such an amazing and exciting week...we found out that our expansion is now bigger than ever, we got our new house and close escrow this next week. Now I get to add the renovations to the blog, it's going to be a fun few months! And stressful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now let's talk the symptoms and fact for the week:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the most part it's been a really great week for aches and pains. I did spend most of the week in a business convention which just heightened my back pain. This week has had a little more nausea, usually if I am not eating soon enough that's when I get nauseated. Other than that just my lower left side of my back. I can't wait to have extra time and money to go spoil myself with a massage! Soon enough! </div>

That has been the biggest question since e found out what the babies are a few weeks ago...so here are some of the contenders. Phil may just kill me for putting all of these up but maybe you all want to help! I will tell you we of course will make the ultimate decision but I would love to get more ideas or input. <br />
<br />
Middle names...I am a huge middle name girl! I love when a middle name has significance. I am guessing this is because my middle name is Carroll, which in reality is a normal girl name except the spelling makes it unique because it's my mom's maiden name. Since, I do have this love, I kind of chose the middle names already and Phil gets the power of the first name. For our baby girl, her middle name will be Louise, after both of our mom's, they happen to have the same middle name and I just love shortening it to Lou as a nickname with whatever first name we go with! Baby boy, will be named after my uncle who passed away a couple years ago from his 3rd battle with Leukemia, he was also my Godfather so I wanted to not only pick this name because of those reasons but also because my dad never had a better best friend then his brother Randy! Our little boy will be "something" Randall after my dad's best friend and brother!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is a list of the contenders for names...girls in pink and boys in blue!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ea9999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Natalie Louise</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ea9999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Taytum Louise</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ea9999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Kamdyn Louise</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Everett Randall</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wyatt Randall</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

I guess I'm just not the best blogger yet! I have missed a few weeks not only for posting but also pictures. I guess I have a little excuse for this, I hate not being in the exact same outfit each picture, lol. So on Friday mornings when I'm supposed to take the picture clothe aren't clean, I just forget to take the picture, or we're late for school and I have no time! Oops!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Since last time I posted, we've had first day of school for all of the kids, a scary fall down the stairs, a couple injuries already at school, a first middle school dance and football season started! Phew! Oh and we've done 2 weddings and a birthday party for the business along the way! The family doesn't slow down much but honestly I don't know if we would know what to do if we had to slow down!</div>
<div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Here you will see my picture from 14 weeks! Definitely got the pooch!</div>

Now here it is a really pregnant belly. It definitely went from being weird is she fat shape to definitely round and pregnant! And you can also see why the same outfit would work better, I look plain old fat in this white shirt, lol! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Symptoms and Pregnancy Facts as of now:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Carrying really high yet the babies are at opposite ends of my belly right now. Baby A, baby girl, she is sitting extremely low on the right side of my stomach taking up most of the room. Baby B, baby boy, he is up on the left just below my rib cage along with I think every organ in my abdomen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had extreme back pain....so I had a scary fall down the stairs, about 5 steps, on my back. I of course was carrying too many things in my hands and slipped on the edge and just went down. We went to the emergency room to be sure everything was ok, and babies were good. Only problem I have had is my lower back, just next to my tailbone. Not sure what's wrong by boy does it kill. If I bend over the standing up and walking after isn't so easy. But working through it everyday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nausea and no appetite, just hasn't come back yet. I am blessed that I have not thrown up or had horrible morning sickness but I can only eat parts of meals. Phil is not loving it too much because I usually give him my leftovers, lol!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cravings...nothing new! Still loving salty things!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Weight Gain...no clue! My next doctor appointment is Monday so we'll see!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Babies...the amazing part of this is that the babies are growing like crazy, I had an appointment early this week when I has 16w4d and baby girl measures at 17w1-2days and baby boy is at least 16w5-7days. This is making me feel really good especially with my past premature labors with the first 2 pregnancies that I feel confident God has a plan for these little ones and if they come out early he will be sure they are ready to go!</div>

I am so sorry! Here are all of the pictures from our reveal night. These completely made my night when we got them back! They totally show exactly what I wanted.<br />
<br />
As I am sure I mentioned, all of the family was hoping for 2 boys. So I knew if there were any pink balloons we would get a great reaction from everyone. And lucky me, I have all of these to look back on one day. We are all so happy with one of each of course and love these babies no matter what I think the idea of adding 2 girls to the already 4 we have shocked our 2 boys that they would be over powered. But we are good!!!!!!<br />

I wanted to share the first day of school with everyone. This year we have 2 big steps for the kids...one going into middle school and another starting her senior year. Crazy how fast these kids grow up. You not only hear it all the time but you truly try to tell everyone you know that has babies but wow it just flies by. Of course, life happens and we just forget to cherish every single small and big step. Well here is me trying to capture this because trust me, I am horrible at the sentimental picture taking, and save every momento they bring home! But I still love my babies all 6 of them...soon to be 8!<br />

And this would be the big dork that waited in line to get his picture taken too on his way to work! Gotta love his fun sense of humor, even if the sarcasm takes over the house because all of the kids are just like him and I am surrounded by a bunch of smartie pants! </div>

Just a reminder, life changes in the blink of an eye, we forget to take in each moment. Even though Phil and I run a business my first and foremost job is taking care of these precious kids. Trust me there are days I take it for granted so much, get tired, cranky and irritated with just about everything. But in these moments, I remember that I have amazing kids! Each of them so different, so unique with their own personalities, ways of doing things and big huge hearts! </div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
Kids....</div>
<div align="center">
I am so proud of each of you kids, you are all so smart, loving and polite, thank you for allowing me to be your mom! That goes for you too Belle, I know you don't need a mom to tell you what to do anymore but I couldn't be more proud to know you can still call me that when you need me! And to you 2 babies that are yet unborn, you are already truly loved not only by me and your dad but these beautiful siblings you have are going to overwhelm you with their love and generosity. Thank you God for bringing each of these children into my life, no matter how they became a part of me I truly love each of them equally for their amazing little human beings they are!</div>

<p dir="ltr">Now I have to update you on my day first. All of you women out there will understand, while all the men just don't quite understand and of course there's nothing wrong with that, it's just the differences between men and women. I woke up in a sad, frustrated mood, hormones you have to love them! Let's just say Phil very simply and politely told me that my shirt didn't really match my skirt...which turned into me in the closet crying because I couldn't find anything to wear. Here I was starting a very exciting day and just couldn't get excited.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Of course, the kids and I still had a day of fun. All of us girls got our hair done, so nice to pamper myself and its even better when you're hair dresser is your cousin and one of your closest friends, plus she has the most adorable daughter, my niece! Love them! We enjoyed hanging out there, then yummy in-n-out for lunch! Then some relaxing while it poured outside, love the rain!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Phil came home from work with his phone on face time...he ran over and we all gathered around. It was our oldest daughter in Colorado, her husband Matt, was arriving home from his tour in Qatar. He had been deployed there for 9 months. If you haven't seen one of those ceremonies, man so amazing, emotional and beautiful. The soldiers entered to the sound Proud to be an American, then they did more patriotic songs that just pull at your heart strings. The soldiers were released, 200 something soldiers running to their families...and there he was, of course we saw someone's back as they greeted each other and then the 2 of them together! So amazing and just awesome! It was a great experience for us to be a part of even if it wasn't being there directly!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Then about 530 pm, our family came over, my parents (of course we live with them so they were already here, lol), Phil's mom, Phil's sister and our nieces and nephew. We all went up the street to the orange groves in our neighborhood where our great friends, Chad, Milisa and their son Jaxson showed up with 2 trunks filed with balloons for the big reveal!</p>
<p dir="ltr">We got set up and everyone said we should open both boxes together...My only request was one at a time. Now no one really understood but when I get the pictures back you all will, lol! Everyone wanted boys, because we have 4 girls and 2 boys, so they wanted 2 boys to even the playing field...not to mention there's enough estrogen in the house! </p>
<p dir="ltr">We opened baby A's box and guess what we saw...PINK! The reaction was classic, smiles, but nothing too huge, I think Devyn jumped for joy! I saw the boys give frowns after they realized what they saw. (Pictures will be up tomorrow late night) We all headed over to the 2nd box for Baby B...Phil looked at me like babe please save me, he was so nervous for more pink. Ha ha! Then there they were....BLUE balloons. No joke...the picture had everyone jumping up with joy arms in the air! So classic! Here is the one photo I have.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A huge thank you to our great friends Chad and Milisa who did all this work to make this happen! We love them so much!</p>

Week 13<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last night, I laid down next to my exhausted wife as she had already fallen asleep. She was laying on her side, facing away from me, but she had moved one leg up, so she was almost on her stomach. As she lay slumbering away unaware of my presence, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to see if I could feel the twins moving. Up until now, she was able to feel little twinges here and there and had tried to get my hand in the right position on numerous occasions, but inevitably, they would go undetected. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So last night, she lay sleeping and I knew there would be no accessory muscle usage or any other movements besides her rhythmic breathing . . . </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I snuggled up behind her and took my right hand and slowly placed it under her abdomen. As I lay motionless, I waited for the slightest movement. Nothing. I repositioned my hand. Nothing. I decided to push a little on her abdomen kind of like the ultrasound tech had done to get them to move . . . PAY-DIRT!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was the slightest little push back, "<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">knock it off Dad!</span></span></i>" . . . and then a second kick, "<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>yeah, what he said, knock it off Dad!</i></span>" <span style="font-size: x-small;">(see what i did there, he?)</span>. It almost startled me, but then I was filled with this immense sense of joy. Because the doctor can tell you your pregnant. The doctor can show you a picture of the tiny little babies growing within your wife. And the doctors can show you a video of babies moving inside her even though there isn't any resemblance of a pregnant lad<span style="font-size: small;">y yet. But recently, my wife's 'baby b</span>ump' has began to grow and the little belly that we admired at first with excitement is becoming more and more pronounced and now, couple that visual representation of pregnancy with a physical touch, that connection to our children, it's such a powerful feeling. It overwhelms me. And I'm not going to lie, I had that special little moment all to myself. Quietly in the still of the night, no one else awake or aware of what I had just experienced. So cool.</span><br />

Now mind you, I think I had Phil take the picture at least 3 or 4 times. I am not a selfie girl, I don't have a lot of pictures of me and I am so uncomfortable being the center of attention in this way! Now, I know most of you would say yeah right, but really I just don't like it! LOL <br />

As you can see there is a small pooch! I decided to take the pictures first thing in the morning because that's when it is small. By the evening it's huge! Symptoms haven't changed much. This week had a lot more headaches, pressure in my lower back and abdomen. Otherwise, I am truly trying to just enjoy each moment. One thing I am amazed by is the amount of people we have run into that have been touched by twins. We have found a few friends and acquaintances that have twins or are a twin. We are so excited to continue down this journey! Thanks for checking in and all of the great responses we have had on Phil's Facebook!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032634331740753723.post-60915778555772865652014-08-03T15:33:00.001-07:002014-08-03T15:33:43.578-07:00Our first baby project!I haven't updated you on our house lately but unfortunately we are still in escrow. We had to start the short sale process over again which has caused a delay but we are patiently waiting. We are thanking God for the journey and the fact that it has not gone back up on the market for someone else to grab. <br />
<br />
But with that said, the planner in me doesn't like the idea of not having a plan for rooms and starting on things! At this point, if we close when we are supposed to we may be able to move in by Thanksgiving. Yep, forever away! I will be HUGE by then and setting up a nursery probably won't be that easy. Of course, I can do little things now but we don't have the storage at all to buy anything yet. Hopefully after we close escrow the end of August we can begin buying things and storing in the new garages for now. <br />
<br />
Until then, I wanted to start a project that I will use starting next week when I am officially out of the 1st trimester and start the profile pictures. I see so many blogs and pictures of chalkboards and dry erase boards used that I knew I wanted something similar yet different. So here it is. Mind you at this point, the babies room idea is Nautical, Orange, Navy Blue and Gray, no matter the sex. I will girlie it up more for girls and if its one of each its a great shared theme. <br />

Now, I absolutely love her so when she walked in very pregnant I was shocked! Just my luck, I was able to catch her on her last day in the office but unfortunately she is not coming back to that office. Such a bummer! But needless to say, the reason I was so excited to see her was the fact that she was so excited to hear we were pregnant! She knew we were going to go through the IVF process, when she walked in she was just ecstatic. <br />
<br />
We were able to get another ultrasound of the babies and now they actually look like babies. Arms, legs, fully developed organs, little humans inside of my body! I am not sure this link will work. But this day, they were actually moving too. One of the babies was moving like crazy so we took a video. <br />
<br />
Now don't worry, the other baby is not way smaller. They are actually measuring only 2 days apart and bigger than average which is good. The angle of the ultrasound wand is why one looks bigger. If the video doesn't work sorry! Text me and I can send it to you!<br />
