AND…. we have officially become a family of SIX

Surprise! We have a set of twin boys born Monday, December 8th 2014. Thomas Daniel and Tyler James were born at 12:45 PM and 1:00 PM Monday afternoon via c-section at 35 weeks. The babies were in the nursery for just under two weeks and were known as "growers and feeders." They were kept in the there to watch their growth and let them perfect their feeding. We came home on December 23rd and what a Christmas gift was that! It was the best Christmas gift a Mother could ask for!

Thomas weighed in at 5 pounds 15 ounces and Tyler weighed in at 5 pounds 2 ounces. They were perfectly healthy when they decided to arrive!


Thomas on day one of life


Tyler on day one of life 


Juliette was so excited to meet her new brothers! 











Tripp was a hoot when he came over. He was excited but he was more into explaining to me…" No pick a pig"…. do you like his demonstration?


Then he decided to hone in on the actual babies in the room 








Each day we knew we were getting closer when you actually rejoiced and took pictures of the empty bottles that the babies took!


Tessa and Thomas… Tessa was a professional rocker by the time we were able to leave the hospital!


Baby boy Thomas after his feeding tube had been taken out! That was a happy day as it meant we were almost heading home!



The hour before we were leaving the nurse came into my room and found me with two hungry babies! She thought it was so cute she insisted on taking a picture!


By the end of two weeks, Thomas now weighed 6 pounds three ounces and Tyler weight 5 pound 10 ounces. They really did some growing!


Love these baby boys so much already! 



They had the most wonderful nurses and doctors in the nursery who began to feel like family to me! I will miss each of them and thank them for all of their kindness and care but there is no place like home!

The new Mommy of four little ones! Three boys and a girl! Wish me luck as we head home!!
