They're Here (actually they've been here for awhile)

Well it's been almost three and a half months since my babes were born.
Bredan and Morrigan arrived by csection March 31st at 8:09 and 8:10 in the evening. They weighed in at 7lbs 2oz and 5lbs 9oz respectively. They were perfect in every way. We were able to leave the hospital three days after the babes were born.
The first few weeks at home I had my parents here to help and it was amazing to have their help, especially with me having to recover from surgery. I couldn't have done it without them.

Five days old

The last three months have been busy but we've got our routine all worked out now and we are having so much fun. Bredan and Morrigan sleep for 8-10 hours at night already and go down really well for all their naps. I couldn't have asked for two better babies. They are growing really well too, Bredan is almost 14lbs already and Morrigan is nearing 12lbs.

Bredan and Morrigan have been smiling at us for awhile now, but just in the last week or so have even started laughing. It's amazing. I can't wait to see what lies ahead for our family.

Here they are at three months


Well I'm off for now. Things to do :)

Still Waiting

I'm 36 weeks and five days pregnant today. These babies could come at any point, but I have a feeling it might be a few days yet. They seem pretty comfortable. I, on the other hand, am not so comfortable. I waddle like a duck, it's actually quite a sight.

So I'm playing the waiting game here. Waiting to go through what I know will be the biggest change of mine and my husbands life. Waiting to meet Baby A and Baby B. We are so looking forward to meeting these two little people and seeing what kind of people they will grow into.

Update

Well things around here have been busy. I have gotten a small amount of crafting done, and since this is supposed to be a sewing blog I will show you that first.

I have two beautiful nieces that have birthdays in March, and since the babes I'm currently cooking will probably arrive sometime in March, it was time I got working on birthday presents because soon I will have my hands very full.

So I found an easy tutorial for a birthday crown here. This crown met my need to do something handmade but something that was quick and simple, as my energy is limited. My supplies were limited so it's not a cute as I had hoped, but still it fits the bill.

So my beautiful nieces will get to be princesses for their birthdays. But really they already are.

I've also been slowly working on a knit blanket for these babies that are growing inside me. It's slow going but hopefully I'll have it finished before they arrive.

So if you have been wondering what else I have been doing with my time the following pictures will show you well.

I've been reading, reading and reading some more. Books on pregnancy, childbirth, twins and breastfeeding. At the same time I've been growing two babies. It's been an amazing experience, and a surprisingly easy pregnancy. My OB figures I'll deliver this duo sometime between 36 and 38 weeks, so that would be between March 13th and the 27th. I'm hoping the babies can wait until after the 19th, that way my friend, who is also our hypnobirthing instructor, will be available to be in the delivery room with us, to support me in my quest to deliver these babes as naturally as possible.

So this blog will most likely turn into a family themed blog. Because I'm sure this pair will keep me very busy and there probably will be limited opportunities for crafting. So bear with me, hopefully I'll be back to crafting at some point, but really who doesn't like pictures of babies.

Wishing you all a great day!
