Hey everyone, I have been totally MIA lately. I got the kids in bed and thought I would catch up on whats going on! Congrats on all the babies. Maria your picture is adorable, I love the little daddy sleepers on those beautiful girls. They look so much a like, I'm assuming they are not identical but they sure look that way (at least from the one picture I've seen).
Kbillsy- Congrats on getting all three little beans here. Did you all go home together? I thought that's what I read. That is incredible and such a blessing! Great job momma, I can't imagine what having three little mouths to feed is like, I am totally overwhelmed with two!
Amy- glad to hear your twins are here also, congratulations.
AFM, still plugging along. I don't get as much time with the boys as I would like since my older kids are so busy but I am totally in love with them. They are getting to recognize my face and smile when they see me or my hubby now. It's adorable.
Sorry to all I missed, I'm going to catch up on some much needed sleep.
Congrats Amy! Can't wait to see some pix! That is great that you already did a tandem feed. We did one in the hospital and have only tried it a handful of times at home so far. I think it will get easier to do when they are a little bigger and able to hold their own heads more.
Things are going pretty well here - starting to sleep a little longer at night. Love them - can't believe how much they already have little personalities! I'm down to my last month of maternity leave at least I am only going back part time initially.

Hi Maria - I am doing great. Ellie is a wonderful mellow baby. My 2.5 year old is where I had most of my troubles with - his adjustment to his sister was rough. But better now. How do I post pictures? Do I need a photobucket account?
I've struggled with a few health issues - swollen sinuses and headaches - but I am dealing with both.

Yay! More healthy, beautiful babies. Congrats kerpupples!
Evelyn turned 8 months old on Thursday. She is getting so close to crawling and is a total blast. The only thing is she needs constant entertaining which is fun but doesn't leave much time for posting. We left her overnight for the first time Friday. My sister came to my house and kept her. Bill and I did our first race since pre-pregnancy (we are long time distance runners). It was fun and we met all our goals but it is so great to be back home with her.
I am going to try try try to be better at posting. I miss you ladies! Gotta figure out how to post pics again, it has been so long.
Leora I think about you and pray for you every day!

Hi all. I'm back in the hospital with fluid on my lungs due to my severe preeclampsia. My husband & his mom are home with the babies, and we have a community of wonderful friends who are pulling together to help until I get better. I'll post some pics of the babies as soon as I'm home and better. They are very healthy and so wonderful.

Hi girls,
Bliss-Evelyn is absolutely gorgeous. This board has been so quiet but I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to share some photos from the girl's newborn photo shoot. I'm so in love

Hi all! Sorry for the absence - wrapping my head around taking care of these babies and getting better has required all my energy.
I was Released from the hospital on 9/12. Had to continue diuretics until today to get all that preeclampsia fluid drained off. My lungs are finally clear and blood pressure headed back to normal. Today I'm at my prepregnancy weight but this is not how I'd have chosen to go about it! I think I peed out close to 40 pounds of fluid.
The twins are hungry little monsters! We are coming off a growth spurt during which it felt like I was nursing nonstop. They are big babies so if they get too big to tandem feed I may switch to pumping and bottle feeding - I think it will be faster.
Finally have some pics up..
