Where Do We Begin...

Needless to say, with the twins arrival finding time for myself doesn't really happen anymore, so I may end up doing more of these "catch-up" blog posts whenever time permits...

Here's a few pictures of what our beautiful growing family has been up to:

Thanksgiving Dinner & the arrival of Baby Wii

Little Guys

So we've been home for a week now and survived everything so far... Each Day is very challenging battling a 22-months old and two 2-week old babies. Drake Loves his
Brothers, a little too much at times, but is always around and willing to help Mommy hold bottles, get diapers, and even burp his brothers.

Here are some of Mommy's favorite pics of her precious little boys!!

November 11, 2008

Kyler Jade Andra

Born @ 11:16 am

5 lbs 14 oz * 18 1/2 inches

Gavin Kade Andra

Born @ 11:17am

6 lbs 5 oz * 19 1/4 inches

We were scheduled for an induction for the morning on November 11th. After I got the call from Labor & Delivery telling me what time to go in, not 10 minutes later I started true labor.

We got to the hospital my body was ready to go - The Doctor pulled out the ultrasound to confirm they were still head down and good to go, when low and behold 'Gavin' had somehow FLIPPED to the breach (feet down) position - resulting in a Rush/Emergency C-Section...

Everything went really well. Babies are so healthy and strong the long pregnancy really paid off!

Mommy is Sore but recovering nicely.

Here are our some of our favorite pics from that special day~

Hope you enjoy them as much as we have!!

Boys Trip to the Cabin

Last weekend Josh took Drake and Sophie up to his parents Cabin and left me to have a relaxing weekend to myself. I had such a good time indulging in time to myself. Josh and Drake had a Great time 4-wheeling, bike riding, and just hanging with Grandma and Grandpa.
