I am still Alive

Yes, I am sorry I have been MIA for a few months, but a lot has been on my plate. Since my last post, we went to Utah in July and had an awesome baby shower and family reunion., I went in the hospital a week later at 26 weeks pregnant, was on bed rest for 2 weeks and then went into Labor at 28 weeks. I had twin boys, Lincoln Edward (3 pbs. 5 oz), and Ian Garth(2 pbs. 9 oz). We were driving back and forth to the hospital everyday for 3 mos. Both boys are home now and doing great. They are still on oxygen, but that was expected. Lincoln has some other issues, like an umbilical hernia, high blood pressure, and awful reflux. He also has an enlarged kidney. They say all of these things should resolve in time. Ian is just on oxygen, otherwise he is the bigger of the 2 now. We feel very blessed that they came out so well. Bailey loves them and thinks she is their mommy:) She is 4 now and learning so much, it is exciting. It is so great to be a mom. I am still in the tired phase but wouldn't trade this time for the world. Anyway, I hope to keep up much better now that life has somewhat settled. Take care everyone:)

I was showing Carl your photos of the kids and he was like "Who's kids are those? They are ADORABLE!" I couldn't agree more, you have done a great job!

Hi April and Matt! I feel like a stalker - I found you through Amanda's blog....not sure if you remember me from Ricks (April) or Logan (Matt).
Anyway, cute family! Your boys are adorable, and congratulations on making it through with two preemies...I'm sure it wasn't easy. I had my first baby around the same time - and I love being a Mommy too :)
Good to see you online, take care.
