Xmas 2009 at the Mergen's.

Happy 3 Weeks!

Happy 3 Week Birthday Kiddos! It has gone by pretty fast...but then again kind of slow. :) I am adjusting more and more everyday. You guys sure keep us busy. Your dad goes back to work next Monday already. You had a great Xmas in both Richmond and Rochester. You even attended your first Surprise Birthday Party on the 27th for Aunt Jen turning 60! You guys got a lot of attention that is for sure.

Love,

Mom

Bath Time

Since you both have now both lost your belly buttons, we decided to try a normal bath as opposed to the "sponge bath"... You both did great this afternoon. I know it is probably cold for you and kind of a shocker, but we did it as quick as possible and then you guys were content and sleeping for 2 hours after.

Baby Burritos

Here is how you guys look before bed. Lilly doesn't like it as much lately but Charlie still likes to be swaddled. Sometimes he likes his arms IN and sometimes he likes the OUT. Great Aunt Jen bought them these Halo Swaddle Sacs.

Catching up with some pictures...

Me right after the C-Section holding Lilly Jean in the recovery room. Man do I look weird...

Before going into surgery waiting in the "prep" room. Longest 2 hours of my life.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!

We had a photo shoot done in the hospital done right before we went home. We didn't realize how GREAT they would turn out. Lilly is above.

I had a feeling they would both scream when we took of their clothes but only Lilly got mad.

Peaceful Babies... Charlie on the Left Lilly on the Right.

Stay tuned for more blog updates, probably not as often as before the babies came but I will sure try my hardest.

Oh Christmas Tree...Oh Christmas Tree

Here is our 2009 Christmas Tree! Adam put it up over Thanksgiving Weekend. I hope to get some snap shots of the Twins under the tree :) We put it downstairs this year as opposed to upstairs. Our living room upstairs is pretty full with 2 baby swings in all. Happy Holidays Kiddos, you are entering this world during my Favorite Time of Year!

38 weeks!

Here we are at 38 weeks. Saturday December 5th... You guys are being delivered on Dec. 7th at 9:30 am via C-section if all goes as planned. We re-arranged your room last minute this week one evening. We needed to make better use of the space as well as the only 2 outlets in the room. We are all set for you guys to join us now! Dad is off work til January 4th and I am off until March 1st. I know the time will fly and I will not be ready to go back to work like every other mom, but hey life is life.
My mom and sister are coming up tomorrow night to stay the night and join us on Monday morning. Adam's mom and dad are also coming up Monday morning to join us. No kids can come visit due to the H1N1, so you will have to meet all your cousins later on. Bummer I know..



Wow...that is one big belly, I sure hope it goes down after birth :)
