The morning of December 19th could not come fast enough for me! The pregnancy was getting very uncomfortable around 35 weeks, it was hard to sleep, eat and breathe because of all the pressure on my diaphragm along with a belly that didn't want to stretch any more :) By God's grace and looking forward to the joy of having to little ones join our family, I made it to the end!! There were a few days that I thought for sure they were coming early with contractions most the 3rd trimester; In fact the morning of my csection my contractions started up in full swing and faster by the time I delivered that morning; what good timing!
We are so thankful that both arrived healthy at 5lbs 4 oz and 5lbs 8oz and in 3 weeks both have gained over a pound and into newborn clothes! They both came home with us Monday, December 23rd just in time for Christmas!
God's gifts are so good and we are enjoying these 2 little babies so much. Its fun getting to know them and see the different personalities shine through, even at 3 weeks old!
Hudson loves our attention, likes to be held, likes to sleep, hates baths and diaper changes! Morgan is silly, smiles everyday, seems to have a very sweet disposition and loves to stick her tongue out and has her eyes open almost 24 hours a day it seems! She even smiles when Hudson cries during his diaper change, just a glimpse of the sibling rivalry already! They do wake each other up to eat at the same time and I've learned to keep a good eating schedule to make life more manageable, leaving the house is another story! It takes FOREVER!!!! (and I need to upgrade to a bigger diaper bag)
Morgan, Madison and Hudson- 10 days old
So tiny!!
Love Madison's cute little face in this photo!
Life with 3 kids sure is a party! Its so busy and crazy most days but cuddling all of them is wonderful!
Madison is still adjusting to sharing time with Mom and Dad with her new siblings but each day there is some progress and I'm hoping once they start interacting with her in another few months I'm sure she will love the attention she gets from them giggling at her. Madison likes being able to pick out their outfits; she held Morgan's tiny hand on the way to the doctor in the car and even puts their binki's in their mouths for me :)
