Weekend at grandma's

Gosh sorry I have been such a slacker at blogging, we have had alot going on. This past weekend we were able to go down to Monroe and visit our families. On friday we were able to go and watch Brady's little sister Jerrika at prom. She looked BEAUTIFUL!!! Saturday me and my mom took Brady's sisters, Jerrika and Bailee to watch south sevier's prom. We stayed a little later than we usually do on sudays because we got to watch Twilight at my parents house. We finally got home last night at about 7:30 and our power was OUT!!! It turned on and off for about an hour then it went off for good. With all of the babies equipment we have to have power!!! So we threw all of our bags back into the car and went to a hotel. Brady still had to be to work at 6 this morning so me and the babies stayed at the hotel until around noon when Brady came and got us. It was a fun little adventure.

Help Prevent Prematurity

Addison

Aiden

Hey guys, I'm sure that everyone knows that our twins Aiden and Addison were micropreemies. At the NBICU the March of Dimes was a huge support system for us. After our experience and seeing how willing the March of Dimes was to support us, we feel that is it only right to give back. On Saturday May 16 there will be a March of Dimes fundraiser walk. It starts 1.5 miles up Provo canyon and the walk is 3 miles long. It is because of these fundraiser that the March of Dimes is able to provide education and support to families like ours. If anyone is interested in walking with our family please let us know. Thanks!!

Out On The Town!!

Today was a great day! This morning I was able to go and get a massage!!! It felt wonderful!!! Then Brady and I decided that we needed to get out of the house, so off we went. We took the babies to USA Baby and we bought a double jogging stroller!! Yeah!!! It was on sale - how can ya beat that? Then we just walked around to some of the stores- Bed, Bath & Beyond, Famous Footwear, etc. It was so great to get out of the house for the day. Hopefully it will warm up so we can go for walks. Maybe tomorrow Brady will put some pics on here so everyone can see how big the babies are getting!!!

Another long day

Well today has been just another long uneventful day. But I can't complain, it's better than having an exciting day at another hospital. This week Brady started working an extra two hours a night, just so he can save up comp time for when he goes and plays army man. So this means that me and the kiddos are by ourselves until about 7 o'clock at night. Man we sure do wish grandma was here to entertain us. Aiden and Addi are doing great today. They have been playing together under their toy for a while now-that's pretty impressive since they really don't like to be next to each other.Addi has been kind of crabby lately but I think she might be getting teeth soon. She has been so slobbery! I can't believe how big they are getting. My mom was up here last weekend and we took the babies shopping, they are already getting into the 3-6 month clothes CRAZY!!! They are almost 8 months old and they are both close to 13 lbs!! I know that most people think that that is still little but to us they are getting huge. I will post some pics as soon as figure out how to do it.

Little Miracles!

Okay so I'm going to try this whole blogging thing. I wasn't very good at writing on the twins blog when they were in the hospital so hopefully I will be better at this. Alot has gone on in the past 8 months. Aiden and Addi were born on July 20, 2008. They were born at 24 weeks gestation (scary!!) Aiden weighed 1 lb 6 oz and Addi weighed 1lb 3 oz they were both only about 12 inches long. During their hospital say they both had their ups and downs but they are doing great now. Aiden came home on oxygen and with a g-tube (feeding tube) on November 28, 2008. Addi also came home with oxygen and a g-tube on December 18, 2008. Aiden eats like a champ now but Addi still struggles. Everything has been going great since the babies came home. Aiden has been back in Primary's twice but luckily he didn't have RSV so he only had to stay over night both times. We are so lucky to have these beautiful little miracles in our lives. I don't know what we would do without them.
