Why is the Coke gone?

Christmas!!!

If you had noticed... I have been trying to put pictures on blogger of the girls so that you can see how they have grown and changed. But two things have happened.. 1. Blogger takes FOREVER to load pictures and 2. I have been short on time lately... go figure with two little munchkins to love and cuddle all day. SO here is the plan = here is a very recent picture of them... and i will try to post ALOT of pictures now that we actually have internet and eventually we will catch up to Christmas! sound good? good!

Ready to go out on the town!

Just 10 days old here!

These bonnets hardly fit them now!

Meeting Kiara For The First Time

Again, the NICU nurses had a good look at Kiara and then handed her directly to us!

We feel so blessed that the girls didn't have to spend one minuite in the NICU. They have been with us every moment since they were born!

Meeting Amaya For The First Time

The NICU nurses had a good look at her and then handed her over the curtain to us! As you can see, she's perfect!

Daddy Ready For The Operating Room

On The Way To The Hospital

Well... so much for the planned c-section. My water broke at 3:30am on the morning of September 5th, 2007. It was much more exciting than just 'checking in' at 8am!

The Night Before

Here is the baby's nursery, finally finished on the night before the scheduled c-section.

The First Kick

Last night... I felt a definite kick!

I've felt little movements before this, but this was a definite kick! Jon felt it too! We just sat on the couch watching a movie (What's Eating Gilbert Grape) with Jon's hand on my tummy - in awe of the little beating they were giving us. I've felt one or two kicks today as well. It catches me by surprise every time.
