So small but so thankful

The kids are gaining weight which is great. Sara was born at 4 lbs 15 oz and is up to 5 lbs 7 oz. Mr. Dino Danyal was born at 6 lbs and is now up to 6 lbs 7 oz.

I made the mistake while cleaning today and turned on Discovery Health. The show NCIU was on and they were showing twins that were born at 27 weeks and 32 weeks. After watching that I am so thankful that we made it to 38 weeks, even if Ms. Sara had to spend 8 hours in the Special Care Unit.

All that being said my kids are still so small when I look at other kids. I find them so precious being this small, well that and they are mine. Even if they don't let me sleep I cannot help but look at them and grin. My beautiful kids.

I am not going to lie...

I am TIRED!! I mean really? Yesterday was a marathon crying session where they were both just unhappy for a long five hours! It can get to be exhausting especially when you put trying to comfort two kids, change two kids, feed two kids, and pump.

So far grandma and the best friend (auntie) have been lifesavers! Though I have to say Marathon Princess brought me some of the best sushi I have had in a long time!

I think the crying and sleepless nights have been easier than breastfeeding. It's not that we haven't had to work to get there, it is the whole supply issue ( trust me I have tried everything the LC and friends have told me too). Having to breastfeed each lil' peanut, then supplement with a bottle, then pump can turn into a 3 hour process with no rest.

Oh the fun days ahead, but then I look at the kids and think "Damn they're cute! I made them!"

So cute!

I cannot believe that on Monday the kids will be two weeks old. They are still pretty sleepy and we are working on fixing their nights and days.

I have to say how Sara came into this world...Shaking her fist. I ended up with a c-section, as they were about to make the incision on the uterus Sara's little fist broke through my uterus wall! I guess I was stretched to the max! I could hear the nurse saying "what do we do now?", my Dr. "we make the incision" Duh! I guess Sara will always be headstrong and lead in her own way.

Welcome Sara & Danyal

The babies have arrived! Everything went well as we could hope for and they came out a little smaller than we planned. For that reason I am thrilled that I made it to 38 weeks.

They are so different looking I cannot get over it! Sara has such dark black hair and weighed 5 lbs and was 19 inches long. Danyal has light brown hair and may end up with blue eyes yet. He weighed 6 lbs and was also 19 inches long. That was like having a toddler in my stomach!

I was amazed when I first saw them at how different they and how a person could love another little person right away. All I can say is wow!

Now if I can ever get their days and nights fixed that would be swell!

Let the games begin

I will begin with last night. I had a blast! My best friend and I went to the Nordstrom's after hours sale. That place was insane! I have never seen so much Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, and D & C packed into one place. The people watching was great and the hot chocolate was even better.

Now onto today. It must be the fact that I officially hit five weeks or into the sixth as it would really be. I feel like CRAP! I figured, breakfast that will help. Nope, not one bit. I am as dizzy as can be but luckily not feeling the nausea yet. I say yet as I am just waiting for what is to come. I will be on a cruise ship over Christmas and I am hoping I can keep everything at bay past that time.

Happy Monday! One more week until my ultrasound.

Group Projects

I am not a fan of those. It seems that one or two people end up doing most of the work and the rest get to slide by. I have a huge group project for class, and there are five people in our group. As it appears I have the most knowledge of Powerpoint I have been compiling the information from everyone all week. What a disaster!

If you are unsure of your product don't send it to me until it is the final draft! I do not want to update your issues on the powerpoint six times!

I just had to vent. I would rather write a 25 page paper any day, on anything than do group work. I know you have to be a team player, but sometimes the players are inadequate and need to go back to the farm teams!

Good thoughts..

You know those days when you have an almost evil looking grin and no one can figure out what the hell you are smiling about. I love those days. Sometimes it is the smallest thought from back in the day or a current event that makes you smile.

Today is a grinning day. I have had a great weekend catching up on movies I have wanted to see such as Angels & Demons, New Moon, The Blind Side, and Four Christmases. Among with taking my little cousin shopping for Christmas. Wow, the girl can shop at 13, but it was great to spend time with her. She also told me I had style when choosing outfits for her to try on, it made me laugh.

On to the start of a new week and finding all the more reasons to get a big cheesy grin and make people wonder, "What in the hell is she smiling about?" Remember smiles are infectious and can brighten everyone's day.
