Seeing Wrigley for the first time.

I just think this picture is so funny of Morley :)

Morley meeting Grandpa & Grandma Erickson & her aunts & uncles.

Meeting uncle Mike.

Daddy & Morley.

Our poor baby girl. These pictures make me want to cry. :(

Yay, no more ventilator!

Jeff's grandparents came to see the girls & even got to go up to the NICU with Jeff to see Wrigley. The twins are their 51st & 52nd great grandchildren!!

Caitlin came to visit also!

(Don't mind how gross I look in all these pictures.)

We had more family and friends come visit & I wish I had gotten pictures of everyone!

Little Morley hanging out in the hospital.

Taking a nap with daddy in the hospital.

Feeding Wrigley in the NICU.

We brought Morley home on Sunday.

Trying to get a picture with her eyes open.

Uncle Matthew got a concussion at school on Tuesday, so he got to come hang out with us all day yesterday.

Wrigley got to come home on Wednesday!!!

First time they were together since they were born.

I sat in the back seat in between them on the way home.

Mommy & Wrigley at home.

Both my girls!!

They didn't want their picture taken together.

Daddy & his girls! :)

We love having both our girls in one place!!

Maternity Pictures

We had maternity pictures taken last week (at 35 weeks 2 days) by Brittany Davis.
I love how they turned out.
Here are some of my favorites....

A few Random things

*I jinxed myself by telling the blog world that I didn't have stretch marks. They really just appeared overnight one night. So depressing. I was so close!!
I'm thinking of trying Elastin3.

Has anyone ever heard of it or used it? Or have any advice of good stretch mark creams?


*Apparently being hugely pregnant is a big conversation starter. I haven't gone one place in the last month that someone hasn't commented on or rubbed my belly. Seriously...EVERY SINGLE PLACE I go. It makes me laugh what some people come up with or feel comfortable asking a stranger. I honestly have never ever had the desire to walk up to a pregnant stranger & touch her belly. Most of the time it really doesn't bother me that much, it's just funny to me how forward some people are.
I've had 2 people in the last week ask how many babies are in there. Good thing I actually have more than one in there or else I might have hit them in the face! ;)
Clearly I'm getting really big, but why would you ever ask someone that?!


*My doctor wanted me to stop working at 34 weeks, so I finished out the month of February & then quit. I've been not working for a week now & I'm starting to go crazy. There are so many things I want to get done around my house but it's hard to find the energy. I figure I should try to get as much sleep as possible while I can but that isn't working out so well either.
Nights are miserable. It's hard to get comfortable & then I finally do but I'm up every hour to go to the bathroom so it starts all over again. I'm usually more comfortable on the couch then in my bed so sometimes I end up sleeping on the couch. Taking a nap during the day usually makes it harder to sleep at night, but these days I don't even care anymore. I sleep when I can. And I figure that's how it will be when the twins are here anyway.
Ok, I'm done complaining now! :)


*Jeff's basketball team played in the championship game last week.
It was such a close game the whole time. We were winning by 5 with 40 seconds left but the other team came back & tied it and then won in overtime. It was sad, but a fun game to watch.

*Last weekend we went to a movie at the mall with Mike. While we were waiting for the movie to start we had to try out this Hurricane Simulator that was right outside the theater. You get inside and then it blows 78 mph winds at you.

Everyone that was walking past stopped to watch.


*We had a doctor's appointment yesterday & got some great news! :)
He talked to the Perinatologist & she told him she wants me to deliver at 37 weeks!
So Wednesday, March 16th will be the day!!
One week!
I think this is going to be the longest week of my life! ;)
