The Twins are One Month Old...

I am borrowing B's great idea about taking pix with a bear every month. They turned one month old on October 3. Sean and Alexa are now weighing 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 7 lbs. 5 oz. They are officially out of the preemie diapers...yay and Alexa has grown out of almost all of her preemie clothes. They each grew about two inches in length. We are eating every three hours during the day and we are getting one 4 hour stretch during the night...which make such a difference. We went on our first outing to some friends house for the Cowboy game last Sunday and we were so impressed on how well they behaved. That is all I have time for...Enjoy!

How 'Bout Them Twins, I mean, Cowboys...

Alexa was not as excited as Sean, but she did show her support for the Cowboys.

Here is Sean getting ready for the Cowboy game. Thanks to Jeff for getting these adorable outfits. We forgot about his socks not matching but oh well...he is a guy.

Greg wanted to take a family picture in our Cowboy gear. Here we are getting set up for the big shot.

...And here is the shot. We tried to take out the pacifiers but this shot was taken right before feeding time and the twins would have been really upset.

We are definately getting into a routine, at least when Greg is here. It is like they know when he isn't here. He has had to be such a huge part in helping with them and I couldn't ask for a better man. It really is amazing how someone who has never really been around babies, especially preemie newborns just naturally knows what to do in pretty much every situation. Our babies are wonderful and we have never loved like this before. Thank you to everyone who has sent gifts, food and who has visited just to hold a baby while I sleep or shower. :) I also want to note here that my aunt "Tia Goya" has been a God send. We would not be functioning the way we are without her.

They will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday and they are definately growing. We are still very sleep deprived but it is all worth it. I hope to be able to update this blog more often. Please leave a message. Okay...gotta go feed. V

They are here...

Sean Xavier and Alexa Joy made their grand entrance on September 3, 2008. We just love them to pieces. They home and are doing well. I don't have time to write much just yet...but I am hoping I will soon be able to improve my blogging skills...stay tuned...V

Pix of Nursery...

Sorry for not blogging in such a long time. I have a hard time typing and writing due to carpal tunnel syndrome...Anyway, enough complaining. Here are some pix, I took with my cell phone, of the nursery. We still have some decorations/shelves to put up, but for now this will do.

I am still trying to figure out how to post pictures. The bee bedding is Sean's and the ladybug bedding is Alexa's. The colors that they have in common are black/white gingham and green. It was hard trying to decide how to do their room. I like this because it is very soothing. The wall color is called "Hint of Mint."

We are 34.5 weeks and growing. My doc says that I am doing great. They each weighed about 5 lbs. today. We should be meeting these little Blasingames very soon. Okay...there...I did it...I blogged. Whew...is that better B? Ha! :)

Update...

We are growing soooo fast now. I go to the doctor on the 10th and after that I go every other week and then eventually once a week. I have an ultrasound scheduled so hopefully I can put some updated pics of the babies on our blog. By the way, we came up with names...ready?...Sean Xavier and Alexa Joy...Greg and I both finally agreed and when we saw the 3D pics the names seemed to fit. They move soooo much now. I feel like they are arm wrestling in there sometimes. Sleeping is becoming more and more difficult. I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. Writing, typing, cutting, eyebrow plucking etc. have all become very difficult. I seem to drop things all the time. I hear it should go away afterwards, but there is no way I could confidently hold a newborn baby right now. That is really my only complaint. I am 27.5 weeks and we would love to go to 37 weeks. Keep us in your prayers please. I am trying to finish an externship. My last day is July 25th and then goodbye grad. school!!! I may be put on bedrest in early August. We will see what my doc says next week.

P.S. This picture was taken about a week and a half ago. Those are my friends Becky and Vania. The babies really liked to kick them. :)

Babies in 3D...oh ya, and...I PASSED!!!!

I passed my exam!!!! Thank you for the prayers and thoughts. I can't believe it, I actually passed!!

Now that I got that out, here are the most recent pictures of the twins. They are each a little over 1 pound and are sooooo active. We can't wait to meet them.

Okay...here is big momma...

I finally decided to add a picture. Here I am at 22 weeks, no makeup and extremely tired. These babies are kicking all of the time now and Greg has been able to feel them for the first time this week. He is sooooo excited and I am soooooo exhausted...and excited :).

We get our 3D and 4D sono on Thursday. We can't wait. We still don't have any names picked out so if anyone has any ideas...we are listening. It is hard picking out two names.

Thank God tomorrow is Memorial Day so, hopefully we will get some rest.

I promise I will get better at blogging...V
