<br />
First, Dallin.<br />
<br />
Where do I start? Dallin is an amazing kid. I feel so lucky to be his momma. He is seven now and turning into such a kind soul. Dallin loves soccer and is getting pretty good too. He is so obedient and rarely ever complains. He has an old soul and is very mature for his age. He is quick to understand when things are hard for us, and he is super understanding and compassionate when he sees someone is sad. Dallin has a knack for making everyone laugh. He is a goofball, just like his mom;) He has endless energy and still won't go to bed until 9:30pm. He is tall and handsome with curly blonde hair that makes my momma heart leap with pride. He is caring and such a good older brother. Dallin loves to play with friends and asks to play with them every. single. day. Sometimes I wish he would just be content staying at home and hanging out with me, but he's getting older dang it. I wish it would stop.<br />
<br />
Dallin is a believer. His testimony of his Savior Jesus Christ is already such an example to me. He knows He lives and he knows Christ is the only way back to God. Dallin has a soft spot for anyone who might need his help, and is quick to ask "what would Jesus do?" Dallin is a thinker. He asks me endless quesitons everyday, why this? Why that? How does this do that? He is inquisitive, but not to a fault. He is very observant and is super helpful. Recently, Dallin has started doing harder chores. He takes out garbage, including taking the large cans to the street on garbage day. It's pretty impressive. He cleans and vacuums his room and the basement. He clears the dishwasher all by himself and has started learning how to load it. On Saturday (chore day) is also our go to handy helper and does a lot of the running things around the house for us and putting it into it's proper spot. He is quick to help and super easy going. That isn't to say he never complains. He is a typical kid, who doesn't want to work too hard, but it doesn't take much to convince him that it is fair and we all do our part. <br />
<br />
Dallin is very smart. He was top of his class at Challenger, a private school, but has recently switched to a Charter school closer to home. He is still at the top of his class and might end up skipping a grade, the verdict is still out on if that would be the best thing for him. He can do math like nobody's business and can diagram a sentence like a pro. I love to hear him read, he does it so well. Dallin is overall the best kid a mom could ask for and I am forever grateful God gave him to me to look after. I learn more from him each day that I get to be his mom.<br />
<br />
<br />
And now a gallery of Dallin to make up for the lack of pics over the last three years. Watch him grow.<br />

<br />
I haven't written on this in over three years. I used to be so good keeping this up to date. Then along came Instagram and I found it easier to snap photos and quickly upload it as well as a memory attached to it. I started to really let my updates here get sparse and soon I didn't post much, then not at all.<br />
<br />
I miss it.<br />
<br />
I do think I have kept a good amount of memories through other means, but I miss pouring my thoughts out about my kiddos and getting the details of my memories out on paper so to speak. I think I will start this up again. I had a couple readers give me inspiration to write again. If they are reading this, they know who they are:)<br />
<br />
So, I will begin to make up for lost time.<br />
<br />
Since my last post, we have had a lot happen in our lives. We had just moved into our new home and we are still here. We are loving it. My twins who had just turned one are now FOUR!! Can you believe it!? Dallin is now SEVEN! Seven! I can hardly believe it. And we have added one more addition. Liam. Liam Joseph Hansen. Liam is 2. And he is the light of my life, that little spunk. He is so amazing, funny, silly and I just can't imagine life without him. We almost didn't have another. He was our surprise baby, and I can't believe we got so lucky to have him in our lives. <br />
<br />
Joe started two more companies. Switched partnerships twice. I have a hernia repair surgery, and Joe had shoulder surgery and a long recovery from another surgery, which he wouldn't want me to disclose...shhh. We've had ups and downs, and happy and sad moments, but through it all we have had each other and life has been pretty dang fantastic. <br />
<br />
One of the things I really want to write about before I forget too much is Liam's birth. First, I need to back up. When the twins were just over one, I started to feel a little sick. I didn't think much of it, for one, we weren't trying, and two, I hadn't planned on getting pregnant so soon after the twins. We had done fertility to get the twins, and I just assumed we would need to do the same to get pregnant again.<br />
<br />
I had a really horrible hernia from being pregnant with the twins that my doctor told me I would need to get repaired soon, which meant, no more babies. We went back and forth between when I would get it done and if we would have anymore children. But, the Lord had other plans. On April 11th, I took a pregnancy test after not having a period for two months. I was pregnant. I couldn't believe it. It felt too easy, too surreal. I told Joe that night and he didn't believe me at first. He was so ecstatic. We could hardly believe it, but it was true.<br />

<br />
My pregnancy with Liam was hard. My hernia hurt like crazy and the twins didn't let me rest a minute. They were crawling around a million miles a minute and I was in pain every second. It was a long pregnancy, but at 39.5 weeks, Liam made an appearance. <br />
<br />
I was supposed to get induced Wednesday morning December 12th. December 11th, I was getting ready for bed and for the birth next morning. Around 9:30 I finished straightening my hair and got into bed. Around 10pm I started getting contractions. I didn't think anything of it, because I had that same intensity of contractions just a few days prior, and the hospital and sent me home with a sore bum from a shot and a heavy heart. So, this time didn't seem different and I tried to get sleep. But around midnight, they kicked up a notch and I felt like, "hmmm....these are a bit stronger." I decided to wake Joe up. I told him I think we needed to go to the hospital. He asked if I was sure. I assured him I was.<br />
<br />
He got up and got dressed, taking his time. I on the other hand was starting to get pretty ansy. I was up like a rocket and in the car. He stopped to get gas.....What!?? I started to freak out inside. I didn't think he understood how intense these contractions were getting. Once he was back in the car I told him to step on it. He looked at me a little funny, but decided he should speed :) My the time we were about 5 minutes from the hospital I was feeling so much pressure I was sure Liam was going to come out right then! Luckily we made it to the hospital, but I could hardly walk in! <br />
<br />
I got in and told the front desk I needed to get back ASAP! They took me back, checked me and I was at an 8.5!! I was rushed to a room and Liam came about 10 minutes later! Whew!!! That was too close for comfort! <br />
<br />
Liam was born at 2:35am and was 8 lbs 13 oz. and absolutely perfect! He was beautiful in every way. I think because I knew he would be my last, I savored every moment and didn't stress about the little things. I also, had just experienced twins not too long ago, so one baby felt easy peasy and was so wonderful! We spent two day together in the hospital, just cuddling and bonding. It was amazing and so special to me.<br />

I was able to plan the twins birthday party and then a few days later I had to start Dallin's birthday party. It was a lot of fun planning his. He wanted a robot party and was pretty stoked that I agreed. I found some really cute decorations and party ideas on Amazon.com and they arrived pretty quickly. Dallin had a blast putting them all together with me. <br />
<br />
The morning of his actual birthday I hung some decorations and he opened his presents from his Daddy and I. He had a blast. <br />

He was so excited to open his presents. He had waited "forever" in his words. It was great. Next he had to go to preschool on his birthday and his school has requested his parents come for a special treat. We both took Dallin and got to see his class celebrate his birthday. It was so sweet and I can tell Dallin felt so special.<br />

Dallin greeting his daddy when we walked in. SO sweet to see. I love that he will hug us and proudly kiss us and tell all his friends that we are his mommy and daddy. He is proud of us and that makes me feel sooo good.<br />

His little class mates sang a song and danced around him. Then at the end Dallin blew them all over, or "out". They were his birthday candles. It was so cute.<br />

Late that night we had my parents over for dinner. I made Dallin a robot birthday cake and he LOVED it. It was almost life sized. Grandma and Grandpa Johnson bought him some presents and he opened them. He is still playing with the Dragon they got him even now. We had dinner and cake together. It was a nice evening.<br />

The games at this party were really cool even I wanted to try. We had a robot car racing game where you inflated balloons attached to the back of the car and when you let the air loose it shot the cars forward. Dallin won all the rounds and got to choose a robot sticker decal for his room. We also playing "pin the battery on the robot" and we colored on some 3D paper that when you wore 3D glasses your picture would pop off the page at you. I think the party was a hit, especially since Dallin had so much fun.<br />

We had spaceships and rocketship cupcakes and cookies for his party. When we lit his candles to blow out, it lit on of the spacehip decorations on fire! OOPS! Dallin blew out his candles, but Daddy had to quickly extinguish the other flame. It was a close call, but it made it more exciting that's for sure. He had a great birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><b>Things we love and know about Dallin at age 4!!!!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1</b>. Dallin can read one vowel words. As long as the word isn't too long, he can sound out just about anything :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2</b>. Dallin loves robots, dogs, cars, rocketships and ninja turtles. He also loves pretty much any superhero.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3</b>. Dallin is a sweetheart, he loves his bothers and parents and is constantly telling us, kissing us and showing us how much he loves us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4</b>. Dallin is 43 1/2 inches tall. If we went to Disneyland he could ride almost anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>5</b>. Dallin wears a size 12 shoe now. He is getting too big. Please stop growing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>6</b>. Dallin can play soccer really well....I mean really well. He can kick in stride and slide to a kick like no ones business.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>7</b>. Dallin still is a picky eater, only eats bread, peanut butter, milk, organe juice and crakers. He will eat anything that is chocolate almost, but will not eat fruits, vegetables, meat, ice cream, cake with frosting or pretty much anything that is wet, gooey or too "weird" as he says.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>8</b>. Dallin can now get himself ready for bed, he bathes himself, dressed himself, and brushes his own teeth all on his own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>9</b>. Dallin is so curious. I get asked 20 questions a hundred times a day. He is learning and absorbing everything we tell him like a sponge. He often will recall things I tell him days later, as if he has always known it :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>10</b>. Dallin can count to 20 and most days much higher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>11</b>. Dallin is a great helper. He helps me load and unload the dishwasher. He cleans his own room and brings his laundry to the laundry room. He helps me sweep and he loves to help me mop. He always clears his own plates at dinner time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>12.</b> Dallin is polite and a gentleman. He always asks to be excused from the table after eating wether at home, eating out or at someone's house. He insists on opening my doors and does so as often as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>13.</b> Dallin has a contagious smile. His smile lights up the room and I just adore it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>14</b>. Dallin now lets me cut his hair without whining or crying. He is so brave and sits still for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>15</b>. Dallin loves to play with his brothers and asks if he can play with them often. They are always together, but he still always asks to play with them ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>16</b>. Dallin says wonderful prayers now. At meals, in the morning before we split off for our days and every night before bed. He never forgets and will always pray before doing any of these things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>17</b>. Dallin loves to change his clothes. Oh my, he can change clothes more often than I change diapers, and that is alot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>18.</b> Dallin loves to play in the dirt and will do so whenever I let him. Our neighbor boy WIll and him love to get dirty and play in the dirt hill behind our house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>19.</b> Dallin has an amazing imagination. He tells me stories and plays with me in the most amazing ways. He can imagine up anything he wants to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>20</b>. Dallin is a total Daddy's boy. All is right in the world when Daddy comes home. He prefers his daddy to tuck him in at night, play with him and take care of him over mommy any day of the week. He adores his daddy and his Daddy adores him. </div>

This is starting to become a pattern. I go months between posts and then have to do a big make up post. I need to get it together, afterall I am doing this blog for my own memories and for my children to look back on one day. Hopefully I will do better.<br />
<br />
The last 5 months have been crazy to say the least. Last I posted was in January. Since then we have had Christmas, 4 birthdays, moved into our new house, Easter, St. Patrick's day, Mother's day, my sisters wedding, Dallin's preshcool program and much more. I think on this post I will focus on just a few Christmas pics, twins birthdays and moving into our house.<br />
<br />
First Christmas, so long ago, but I don't want to forget. It was the twins first Christmas and so I must write about it. It was fun seeing Dallin get super excited this year. It was wonderful to be together and we had a blast. Joe's Mom and Dad were in town and it was so fun having them here. The twins were still a little too little to really understand much, but it was fun to see them try to open the presents nonetheless.<br />
<br />
I can't seem to find the pictures from Christmas and it is driving me nuts. Hopefully I will be able to find them and put a few up.<br />
<br />
Moving into our house was crazy. We didn't get the house done before we had to move it, but we still moved in anyways. There are still things that need done, but it will come in time. Here are some pictures of the house getting painted on the outside.<br />

Doesn't it look beautiful? I was really nervous about the green because green is a color if not done right, can look hideous. I love the color and I think it turned out perfectly. These pictures look a lot more "olive" than it does in person. I just love the color though.<br />
<br />
We have been living here 3 months now and I just love my house. Love love love it. I love everything about it. It was so fun to build and choose all the things I wanted. Now we need to landscape and finish getting some furniture. It is a work in progress and one of these days I will post what I have done on the inside so far. <br />
<br />
Overall, we just love our home and couldn't be happier.<br />
<br />
Okay, next we have the twins birthday. They turned ONE!!! Can you believe it? I can't. I still feel like they were just born yesterday and it is so hard to really believe they are already one. Today they are 15 months old and the time just seems to keep right on flying by. Here are some of my favorite pictures from their big day.<br />

From December to February we had a lot going on, but it was a wonderful time. I am so excited to have our new home and these three boys in our lives. Life is feeling pretty great right now. I am feeling so blessed and so honored to have all that I have in my life. I feel so incredibly lucky and so incredibly humbled that the Lord sees fit to give me such wonderful boys and such an amazing husband. I feel so full of gratitude and love for all that I have. I know it all comes from Him. <br />

I love Christmas time. I love to think about our Savior and I love that it is the time of year that others do as well, even if they don't normally ponder and think about him. I love that it is a time when others are more willing to serve, more willing to forgive and more willing to be patient. I wish we could have the spirit of Christmas and the teachings of our Savior so apparent year round throughout the country. This Christmas was especially wonderful. I love that Christmas is a time to spend so much quality time together as a family, to teach our children of Christ and to realign our lives with what really matters. This Christmas was the twins first one. It was a delight to see their faces light up when they saw Christmas lights. As a gift to Joe I had my friend take some photos of the boys. I printed one off for him on a large 16"x 32" canvas and gave it to him for Christmas. They all turned out wonderful, it was hard to choose just one to print. I think I will have to print more in the near future. Here are a few goodies.</div>

The Saturday before Christmas we headed up as a family to Temple Square. Joe's mom and Dad were in town for Christmas and it was so great to be able to have them there with us. It was packed, it seemed the entire city decided to go that night as well, but it was so great nonetheless. Dallin was in awe of the lights and the twins though fussy and tired, seemed to calm and just look around at the beauty around them. You can feel the spirit of our Savior so close to his Holy Temple. The beauty of the lights against the dark sky only emphasize the beauty of this amazing place.</div>

Christmas is my favorite time of year and so much more meaningful when I get to see the faces of my children. I can see the spirit of Christ and His light reflected in their innocent little eyes. Children truly are gifts from heaven. I just love them, I love my family. I love my Savior. I love His gospel and I love that families are forever because He gave so much.</div>

Since then a lot has happened. We went to Yellowstone as a family, started building a home, Dallin started preschool, had Halloween, Thanksgiving, the twins got teeth, sat up on their own, started arming crawling...and so much more. In November Joe got the okay from the surgeon to start lifting his kids again and bending. Since November 13th, Joe has been picking them up, carrying them around and playing with them like he has wanted to for so long. Also, helping around the house has picked back up again and I couldn't be more happy about that ;) Joe has always done whatever he could to help, but having him back helping with so much around the house has got me smiling a lot these days.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, I would say the last 5 months have been quite eventful, emotional and amazing. Watching our twins grow, learn and become aware of the world and each other has been a treat. Dallin started preschool and is just doing better than I ever imagined. He is such a smart kid. He knows his letters and the sounds they make, he is learning to read two letter and three letter words and he is only 3!! I am so proud of him. Just last weekend he was sounding out the work "kids" while we were driving. Joe and I both looked at each other in awe, he read his first four letter word on his own! He is just learning so much and I love love to see him grow.<br />
<br />
I have so many pictures I want to post, but I will just post a few goodies.<br />

The first day it snowed Dallin and I went out in the snow and had a ball of a time....snowballs...get it? haha, it was a blast just messing around with him and acting like a kid. We threw snowballs, made snow angels and Dallin even made his first snowman, shown below.<br />

The boys and I hang out each day. The twins are learning to feed themselves. Most of it ends up on the floor and I wonder how much even made it to their mouths, but they are learning and soon they will be pros. Dallin is a learning machine. It seems like each new day brings on a host of new words, ideas and grammar for him. It amazes me the intelligent and well put together ideas that flow from his mouth. He is going to make a huge impact on the world someday, I just know it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The twins are getting so big, in just a few short days they will be 10 months old. 10 MONTHS!! I can hardly believe it, and yet it is almost here. Neither of them is crawling, which is fine by me. Both started to army crawl about a day apart just a few days ago. I will have to post a video of Matthew doing it. It is hilarious. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things with us are wonderful, great and amazing. We have our trials, our shortcoming to overcome and our heartaches, but life is good nonetheless. This holiday season I vowed to focus on the best things in life, the good that has happened to me and my family. I'm going to try harder to write down the things that happen in my life, with my boys and my day to day blessings. I don't want to forget them in the years to come, for these days I am sure will be days I will look back on and wish to have again. The best I can do is write as much as I can to remember it by when these boys are grown and having kids of their own.</div>

We had so much to do to get ready to build, so much to do to get Dallin registered for pre-school and so little time. It just flies by. Joe's back was steadily getting better, but he still couldn't lift more than 10 lbs, or bend over. So anything with the babies was a no go, besides feedings. He was able to start helping me with feedings again and that was a life saver!!! He helped me when he could before, but now he was able to wash the bottles and get them ready. You have no idea how much this little thing meant to me. He also started helping me pick up the house with his niffty picker upper thing. You know? Those tweezer like things with the long stick attachment you see every person over the age of 70 carrying around? Yeah, that thing rocks.<br />
<br />
In July was pretty much hung out at home a lot and at the beginning of August dared to make a trip to Yellowstone for a week long Hansen family reunion. More on that later.<br />

The twins were just really coming out of their shell. Blake was rolling over sometimes and all smiles. Matthew was starting to really roll around like a ball and was super chunky! He was more mellow and cranky at times, where Blake was all smiles!! He is ultra happy baby. <br />
<br />
They both were starting on soft foods. They didn't take a liking to oatmeal cereal or carrots. But slowly they are starting to like them. They are still learning to swallow it, without it all just coming out of their mouth first. <br />
<br />
Dallin is changing so much everyday. He started Preschool about a month ago and just loves it. He is seriously so smart and so endearing. He loves to make his brothers laugh, loves to play on his slip n slide and loves to make jokes. Here he is puffing up his cheeks and smashing the air out really quick with his hands to make a funny noise. He could do this for hours and does (literally) some days.<br />

At the beginning of August we made the brave trip up to Yellowstone. The 5 hours drive turned into 9 or 10 with twins and a hubby on the mend. But we made it, two bad blowouts and three melt downs later we arrived in Yellowstone. It was pretty, but I still love the Grand Tetons the most. Blake sitting up for the first time on this trip was a highlight for me:) He could stay in a sitting position without assistance for the first time on August 6th. He looked soooo big to me in this instance, almost made me cry.<br />

Joe's mom and dad so graciously gave us their room in the cabin that had an extra little room connected to it for the twins to sleep in. I do not sleep well with them in my room and the other rooms were just too loud or too far away from us, so they let us have their room. It worked perfectly. I think the twins actually slept better there in that little dark room than they ever have! So nice of them to do this for us, especially since they really didn't have to.<br />

It actually has it's own micro-climate containing plants and fungi that only grow in that one part of the state. Pretty cool. I felt like I was in Oregon, but in the middle of Idaho!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a great trip, though at times extremely stressful for me, we got through it. We ended up heading home a day early because problems with our house getting funded were on the brink of making us go crazy and Joe's back was on the fritz. Nothing like a long trip and a bad back to make Joe really want to go home. Like a trooper though he made it back home without complaining even though I know his back was just killing him. As one who doubted just how much pain he was in for so long, witnessing what he has gone through and how much it must hurt, and yet he hardly ever mentions it, I know now that I was wrong about thinking he was ever exaggerating his pain. I know I could never endure what he has with his back and still have a smile on his face about it all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month was crazy and fun and so worth the work. We had so much fun watching the twins interact with their cousins and watching the cousins play with Dallin. We only wish family lived closer so we could see them more and so Dallin could see his "other brothers and sisters" as he calls them. :)</div>

Great times.</div>

I haven't even blogged about the twins 4th through 6 months of life! Yikes! <br />
<br />
So I'll start with the month of June. <br />
<br />
The twins were super stars around 4 months. They didn't get sick once through the winter and spring was just about over and summer was starting. Things were hectic trying to get used to everything and Joe's surgery put him down and out. I remember feeling so overwhelmed, so utterly overwhelmed, but somehow with each new day, I was able to just do it. I was able to do the feedings by myself, do the late nights by myself, the cleaning, the changing, the washing, the baths, the cooking, the laundry, the shopping and everything else that goes into being a mom, wife and church member. I was so exhausted, but one thing I knew, was that I was very, extremely, over the top lucky. This is what got me through each and everyday. I had my health, I had my babies, I had my husband, a comfortable home, financial support, food to eat, water to drink. I couldn't have asked for more. <br />
<br />
The last few months have just made me really evaluate my life and what is really important. Made me want to be a better me. Be less judgmental and more kind. Be less worried about getting everything done right that instant and be more patient and enjoy every moment with my kiddos. The last few months have been an eye opener for me.<br />
<br />
That being said, lets talk about my cute squiddgers! (made up word):) The twinkies are doing fantastic. At four months they were so big. <br />

Chunky monkey Matthew</div>
<br />
<br />
Matthew's 4 month stats:<br />
<br />
Weight: 14 lbs 15 oz. 47th percentile<br />
Height: 26.5 inches, 88th percentile<br />
<br />
<br />
Blake's 4 month stats:<br />
Weight: 14 lbs. 2 oz., 35th percentile<br />
Height: 26.5 inches, 89th percentile<br />
<br />
At 4 months Matthew was starting to teeth. I could feel the hard lumps coming through and he was not happy. His sleeping really took a turn for the worse. Blake was still not eating well, but by the end of this month, he was eating like a champ. He wasn't having any sucking issues, but he was still not eating enough, but the Doctor said his weight gain was fine, and to just keep giving him a high calorie bottle. It worked well as today he is still gaining weight fine:)<br />

Around this time the twins were super good at sleeping through the night. Even with Matthew teething, he was a champ at night. Naps were a different story. I pretty much had them on the same schedule and then teething happened. Matthew wanted to sleep when Blake did not. One would just cry for hours while the other slept and vise versa. It was so crazy! I feel bad for my poor neighbors sometimes, I just hope the walls are not too thin here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During this month we also decided that we wanted to finally start building on our lot we bought in January. We got working on everything and finally got the ball rolling. We wouldn't break ground for a few months more, but it was exciting to start the process of designing and dreaming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dallin was such a trooper this whole time. He has been patient and so incredibly resilient. He just takes things in stride. He has his meltdowns for sure, but I feel so lucky to have been given such a happy and loving child. He loves his brothers very much.</div>

Everyday is crazy, but I'm just so in love with my life and these boys of mine:)</div>

The very last day in May our good friend Suzanne Bushman was in town. She is a very gifted photographer, and I just had to have her take our first professional family pictures. She did not disappoint. She is awesome and did such a great job. I love all the pictures. Joe's back is still frail and he is not able to hold a baby for very long, so there aren't many of him and his boys, but we got a few goodies:)</div>

At their 2 month checkup they were doing swell. Matthew weighed 11 lbs. 9 oz. and was 22 1/4 inches long. Blake was 11 lbs. 2 oz. and 23 inches long. Blake is definitely tall and skinny:) Their check up went great and since then, they have thrived. These pictures were taken on their 3 month old mark exactly. I just love their chubby cheeks.<br />

As far as twins go, they are pretty good. It is crazy, but when is having two babies at once, not crazy? They are both really well mannered babies and sleep well for their mama. Matthew was such a goober at 2 months. He was already starting to giggle and smile for us. Much sooner than Blake did. Blake didn't start smiling much until around the 3 month mark. They are both such good babies and I am so happy to have them in my life.<br />
<br />
Around 3 1/2 months their faces really started to change, I could see what they were going to look like someday in my head. Blake could be Dallin's twin also. They look very similar and have very similar personalities. Matthew has his own look, though he is very much a Hansen boy and you can tell they are all brothers.<br />

Things are crazy with two babies. I feel bad at times. Dallin watches a lot of cartoons and the babies are spending a lot of time on the floor, in a bumbo, in a jumperoo or having tummy time. I can't hold both of them at the same time for long, so I often feel I am neglecting one when I am holding the other. I try to only hold one for a short time and take turns holding the other. I know it is probably silly, but I don't want either one to feel favored or left out.<br />
<br />
Summer came pretty quickly and we have spent a lot of time outside. Dallin loves his pool and slip n'slide out back. We spend a lot of time playing together. We color and we read. We play swords and we swim. It has been a lazy summer filled with giggles and hanging out.<br />

I'd pretty much perfected the art of cooking, cleaning and taking care of three kids by the time they were 3 months. Just as I was ready to be completely okay with the craziness of my life something major happened that made things even crazier. Joe had major back surgery May 18th. He had his back fused and disc removed. It was an intense surgery and an even more intense recovery. The day after the twins were 3 months old, Joe was down and out for the next 6 months of their life. Things were already crazy and then I lost the help of my best friend and help meet. Joe can still give me moral support, but now it is entirely up to me to take care of these little ones. He can't move much and can only walk. No bending, no lifting and absolutely no helping me with the household chores. Joe is a trooper though, he endures a lot of pain, but still takes care of the sole responsibly of bringing in our income. He is amazing and though he can't help me much with all the other stuff going on in our lives, it is a huge stress off my mind knowing that he will always take care of us fiscally.<br />

Needless to say, the 3rd month of the twins life was hard. The hardest part was not having Joe by my side through all the stuff that went on. I gained a new respect for single moms. I don't know how they do it, but I look up to them. Slowly Joe can help me with little things, but for 6 months, he can't do much. The most important thing right now though is getting him better. We have the rest of our lives to help each other. Right now, it is my time to serve him and my family to the best of my abilities.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-50141055944208645862012-07-11T13:06:00.003-07:002012-07-11T13:14:36.369-07:00And I'm backI am going to get caught up, I am going to get caught up....<br />
I just keep telling myself this, let's hope it actually happens. So much has taken place in the last few months, so many fond memories, so many crazy little things the twins have done, and I am terrified that I haven't written any of it down, and I will forget it. Just as I sit down to write things out, a baby will cry, or Dallin will DEMAND my attention. There always seems to be something else I should be doing, but I want so badly to remember all the things that have happened. I vow to write a blog post everyday, til I am caught up...Let's hope I find the time. I don't know who even reads this anymore, but I write it for me and for my own records, so let's hope I can keep my word to myself.<br />
<br />
Last post was about the twins blessing day. That feels like so long ago. They were almost 12 weeks old and they are now just a week shy of 5 months. They are growing like weeds and winning my heart over each and everyday. Their smiles can melt my worst worries and cut through any stress I was feeling. I seriously love these boys so much. I almost cry just typing these words. I just feel so so blessed to have them in my life. I can't believe I got so lucky. How in the world did the Lord feel so merciful as to give me three little boys to love and cherish. And cherish them I do.<br />
<br />
The last few months have been so crazy, almost a blur at times, but then other times, I can't believe so much as happened. Joe had major back surgery in May, and since then he hasn't been able to help me do anything with the twins. He can't even pick up his own children. I know it hurts him and his heart aches to hold them and play with them, but that time will come. In the mean time, I have been the sole caretaker, house cleaner, nose wiper, boo-boo fixer, chef extraordinaire, and anything else you can think of. Joe has been the money maker, thank goodness for that. It is such a blessing he can still work laying down:) But as the rest of the lot falls to me I have had some crazy ups and downs. One day I feel on cloud 9 and then the next I am in tears and sobbing. The emotions have been a real roller coaster, but you know what? I am so thankful for all of it. I really wouldn't change it. Really. Crazy I know, but I have come so much closer to my boys, to my husband and to knowing my self from serving and giving so much to them. You really do love those you serve and I already loved them lots, and lots, so now it's just brimming over.<br />

The twins have been amazing. They slept through the night at 9 weeks. They now sleep about 12 hours a night, from 6:30pm till around 6:30 AM. I was ecstatic that this was happening. It started right around the time that Joe had surgery. Coincidence? I think not. They twins seriously are amazing babies. They have the cutest smiles, cutest personalities and the best giggles in the world. They are just so miraculous to me. <br />
<br />
Dallin is just growing and becoming so funny. He makes me laugh so many times a day, I lose count. He has such a quirky personality. He loves to shoot monsters, and dresses up in his rain boots, goggles and squirt gun to hunt. He loves to play in water and often asks me 10 or more times a day to go outside and get in the water. He loves his brothers and is so soft and tender with them. He loves to make them laugh and sings to them when they are sad. My favorite is when he hums the tune to "Going Home" by Liberia. They stop crying and always watch him with interest in their faces. He loves his Daddy and gets so excited to do anything with Joe. He can't do much now, but just hanging out with his Daddy IS his favorite pastime. Dallin has developed such a gentle heart. He is quick to kiss my owsies...I am clumsy so there are many. He his never short on good things to say, like "mommy you are the best mommy in the whole wide world," or "You are beautiful today mommy, so beautiful." He is such an amazing boy and I love him so very much.<br />
<br />
Dallin starts preschool soon and my heart can hardly stand it. I am going to miss him sooo much, but it will be so good for him to get out of the house and learn to socialize. He has been stuck at home with a hermit mother and two little babies for way toooo long. I am excited though, he will get to have some structure and learn to read very soon. I can't wait to hear him read to me:)<br />
<br />
My next update will be about the twins 3rd month of life and Dallin's victory of the the "white throne" or should we say toilet. He is officially potty trained hooray. Now off to feed some babies...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-91316316506895075362012-06-18T11:04:00.002-07:002012-06-18T11:04:23.607-07:00Twins Blessing Day May 6th The twins were blessed on May 6th, 2012. They were about 12 weeks old. It was such an amazing day. I purchased some cute little white tuxedos to have them blessed in. Even a small was too big on them, but they were so adorable nonetheless. <br />

Joe gave them some amazing and very sweet baby blessings. The biggest thing that stood out to me was that he blessed each of them to be selfless husbands and stalwart members of the church and to live their lives like Christ. It was a spiritual day for me and so amazing to see my husband bless to more little boys. I am so grateful to have them in my life. If you would have told me 3 years ago that I would have 3 kids by today, I would have told you that you were crazy. With all the infertility issues we were facing, I never could have dreamed up this wonderful outcome. I am so happy and feel so blessed to have these little miracles in my life. I get to love them and be their mama forever. I finally understand how someone could feel like their children are their babies forever. I will always think of my boys as my babies, no matter how big they get, they will always have a big chunk of my heart.</div>

We had a lot of family over for a luncheon afterward. It was great to see friends and family. We have sandwiches, chips and fruit for lunch. I was pretty proud of myself. I did it all by myself and got it all done on time. I have learned to multitask even more now that I already did. You kinda have to with twins:)</div>

After the luncheon, we all hoped in the car and drove up the Alpine loop to stop at this beautiful lake. Joe's brother Ben was able to fly into town as well as Joe's parents, and so all of us were able to go up and just take a nice breather in the fresh air and nice cool breeze. Utah has such beautiful mountains and scenery, I feel so blessed to be here.<br />

Dallin turned three years old March 5th. It was awesome. I tried my darnedest to throw him a good party, and I hope I succeeded. He was such a good boy through the twins birth and suffered from lack of parental attention. I think he had a blast.<br />

I usually try to do some kind of cool cake.

Blowing out his candles and cutting the cake. Dallin thought the cake look, "so cool", but said, "I can't eat that mom, it isn't tasty." Whatever Dallin, mommy enjoyed eating it. It was made for him, but you can't make him eat it. It was fun nonetheless, I think he enjoyed himself....Don't ya think????<br />

Twins at two weeks. They look so small, but that was only a short while ago. They were so strong already. Blake was lifting his head and Matthew was arching his back so high, I thought for sure he was going to roll over at two weeks. They both slept so well. At this point, Joe's mom Judy was flying back home and I thought I was going to die. It felt so overwhelming. So Joe, being the super man that his is, he started getting up every night to help me out. He did every nighttime feeding from then on out. Every single one. What a stud right? He was such a help to me. I was going going going all day long with the twins and Dallin, that I was exhausted at night, and would break down and cry at the thought of getting up in the middle of the night. Joe was such a trooper and did it for me instead. We bought these nifty horseshoe shaped pillows that we would put on either side of us and feed the babies by bottle. We still feed them that way to this day. Joe was able to feed them at night by himself and I was able to do it during the day by myself. Those pillows worked like a charm. I didn't have any help from week 2 on, so needless to say, I was a bit frantic at first. But, I slowly got in the swing of things, and now feel pretty capable.<br />

I don't know what I was thinking, I guess I was out of my mind at this point, but I decided to potty train Dallin at 6 weeks post partum. I must really have been out of mind, I mean who does that? But I stuck through it all and Dallin was potty trained in a week. He still has a poop accident every once in a while, but he is pretty good now. He even potty trained to not wet the bed by day 5. I was so and still am so proud of him. He is such a smart and awesome kid.<br />

Twins at 2 months. Blake was rolling over from front to back and Matthew was smiling like crazy. Blake was slow to smile, but Matthew though, was all smiles by week 7. He loved to smile and coo. They were both sleeping through the night. At week 9 they were sleeping from 10pm til 6:30am. It was amazing. Babywise is the answer to all my worries. It works like a charm. Well rested babies, make for well fed and happy babies. I love the full night sleep I get and it sure helps get me through my hectic days with two babies and a toddler.<br />

Dallin loves his brothers. He says they are his babies, and his very protective of them. For a 3 year old, Dallin is really smart and super intuitive. Sometimes he can calm them down better than I can.<br />

I love the way that Dallin is starting to interact with them. They are so much fun now and we both just love to play with them. Matthew has been smiling for weeks now and Blake is just starting to at this point. Blake started smiling around 12 weeks. Matthew smiles so big, I think his face might crack. I love it. They both giggle and coo at my silly faces and sounds. It just melts my heart. Dallin was so funny this day I took their 11 week pictures. He kept saying, " Mommy, my brothers want to take pictures with me, watch this." He then would move them into position and have me take their picture. He then wanted to be in the pictures too. He moved around them, setting himself either between them or beside them. I have to say, my joy was pretty full this day. It was so heart warming to see him love them so much and to watch as their eyes followed him wherever he went. It is my hope they he will always be a good example to them, and that they will look to him in every good thing as they do now.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-78403802131280930452012-05-27T14:36:00.002-07:002012-05-27T14:36:48.405-07:00Birth through 2 weeks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(3 days old) </div>
<br />
So I have been really really bad at updating my blog. The past months have been, shall we say, super busy. I haven't had time to even think about writing on here, but I want so badly to record everything so I never forget it. The last time I posted the twins were born. Wow, so much has happened since then. For one, they are 3 months old now and super chunky. We will get to those pictures another day, right now I want to make sure I record their first few weeks of life. The picture above is their first day home from the hospital. Aren't they cute? They weighed under 7 lbs by the time they came home. Pretty good for twins if you ask me. It was hectic adjusting to life with two new babies. Dallin kept me busy to begin with, and now I had to throw two babies into the mix. I had to learn quickly how to adapt and how to function with them in our lives. It was hectic, but so amazing. They got on a schedule quickly and they started to sleep well. Blake and Matthew were messy eaters, but Blake struggled to learn to suck. His sucking reflex was not strong from day one, and to this day, that has been a huge cause for anxiety for me. I always worry he is getting enough to eat. But, they are gaining weight like champions and so far are a whopping 14 lbs. each. They are my cute chunkers!<br />

I had daddy take some photos with them on day 5. They were so snuggly and cute. They already had a strong twin bond and calmed right down when they were next to each other.<br />

Dallin the big brother fixing their room up. He has been such an AWESOME older brother. He loves his brothers so much and doesn't hesitate to tell them so. He loves to tickle them, make them giggle, he even likes to help me feed them. This last about 2.5 seconds before he says his arm hurts and I must hold the bottle, but so cute nonetheless. Mom and Dad Hansen came into town to help me before and after the twins were born. Lifesaver I tell you. I don't know what I would have done without them.

Twins on day 5. They were already growing and starting to smile a little. I loved to watch them be together. They have their own looks, but still look so much like Dallin in their own ways. Blake is mild tempered when he is awake, but if he is hungry or tired, WATCH OUT. The boy can cry. Matthew is a gentle soul. He loves to snuggle and loves his pacifier. He sleeps well, but can whine if he is not held. Which is hard to do all the time when you have two babies demanding your attention. They are amazing though. I look at them and it just hits me over and over the miracle that they are.<br />

Twins on Day 10. They are a week an a half old right here. I forgot how much new borns slept. I couldn't get enough of them though, so holding them was something I tried to do more. There are perks to having two babies, there is always one who needs cuddlin. I never had to share a baby this time around, there was enough baby for all. I got my much need fix on newborn cuddles. It was heaven.<br />

Dallin had a birthday right after the twins were born. Grandpa hansen wasn't going to be here for his birthday party, so they threw him a mini party the night before Grandpa had to fly home. He got lots of fun toys from Grandma and Grandpa and blew out some candles on his cupcakes. He was enjoying himself quite a bit.<br />

It snowed just before the twins were born and Dallin and I went out in the snow. I couldn't do much but follow him around and take pictures, but he had a blast nonetheless.<br />

But no one believed me, they kept saying, "NO twins, take longer, much longer, you may still be in labor til this evening." Yeah right, was all I kept thinking.

By 3pm my doctor was ready, but he said "don't push, I'm going to give you a rest." He grabbed the forceps and gently guided Matthew's head out with my next contraction. I didn't even push and he was out within a couple of minutes. Right away, he reached up inside me and grabbed Blake by the feet and broke his water. The water literally shot like 10 feet across the room, it was insane. Then he gently pulled Blake out, feet first. It took just seconds and then I heard his cry. I didn't even push. Not once, to get either of them out. They were here and healthy and strong. I was so relieved. Their cry was music to my ears. At first the stopped crying right away, and I started to freak out. As the doctor delivered both placentas and stitched me up, I was asking over and over, "Are they okay, are they okay?" No one was answering me and I felt so worried. But, they were fine, just calm and happy, and Daddy was obviously distracted by his two new sons and didn't even hear me asking if they were okay.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">They straight from the cleaning table and into my arms. And there they stayed. They wheeled me down the hall way with both babies in my arms. It was so surreal. They were here, happy and healthy and so real. I was so overwhelmed with emotion and love for them. They never went to the NICU, not once. They stayed in our room that entire day, and the next and the next. Being able to take them home with us, was so amazing and such a blessing. I thank the Lord everyday, for this blessing, these two miracles in our lives.</div></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkwqGviz8GYe4DINfCT2qa6XrKZwe1_2k6IDOaSTDVx-k2djQU87z3hyphenhyphena43LOkf3VTD15QWa6Juhu4UEubfC1dF5JDzuRZr-b3UhdWOW_P850ceo6OzB033yTf4BBR6DLk8kaqzVvyDMk/s400/DSC00341.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719076638447998098" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Matthew born at 3:04pm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6PzsvEt3BkEaOS1B3JBoXZqQ8kyk91QYFvbocFrFM7GrNqG4TBhg2duBu0ZwjpnvK1s23WA4PAOcCgkTFVsvBPAvRgU9uGGjQBVSCp3PVzeBvzxc6hjnXSYekS3aJ2onS8HsuXFdS5fg/s400/DSC00340.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719075071758299314" /><div style="text-align: center;">Blake born at 3:06pm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgycdD0b-t4mejzHSE9s7EnZcpcQyCnpMuNSRjCTaIHlq0436qNQDmib1qQiJQHGTAHZf-MS9xCERmWyFr68bekZBWKY20zkSOkkXKOouSrRqj8X3gwyJfdZnuA4eqzWivUTLNFgs9XqMM/s400/DSC00358.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719076660574950450" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHXeYjOs4Wz5PE7ecH30N12SEmxJbSrDsFjlvpcj86PjC2e6gVAQnJw7EcZyoGcSmr93u1ft2RDNEMucmaLJIwJ4DalyI5lX2u45wDUIs4A6o74kLzvov6_lK4_nPYgT9bVymE273M6_o/s400/DSC00359.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719076654869376530" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfClWKbUpj9pxHy8huCOMee_fHsqly2M5aTXx2xY4dHxWDdrgcHNss9ZZ3TEejq-Xnn95nzg4xtTAgDOgcPjcRb1gXwILFh01Ycwl8BYDyhY4Wa6begjb4RRaM_9ILztx17lFrQJN_6io/s400/DSC00343.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719076645019981058" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was happy and relieved.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">They next couple of days were spent getting to know out little men.

Matthew Robert Hansen was born at 3:04 pm and weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. His brother Blake Steven Hansen was born at 3:06 pm and weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. Both boys were healthy and strong. They went straight from the OR to my arms, to my room and there they stayed til we left the hospital. No NICU and no complications. I am overjoyed and so grateful they are here. I will post more on their birth and post many many pictures tomorrow when grandma and grandpa take the boy Dallin and Daddy is home to help with the twins. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I just love them so much already and I am so grateful that my Father in Heaven choose me to be their mommy.

I just didn't have the motivation to post last week when I was 35 weeks, but I provided a picture nonetheless. I am 36 weeks this week and I sure am feeling the stretch. My ligaments are stretching to the extreme. They feel like someone is literally tearing my stomach apart with their bare hands. It hurts to the touch and sleeping.....well, just forget about it. I can't wait to be done.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Went to the doctors for an Ultra sound and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">NST</span> yesterday. Everything looked great! The boys are as follows:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Blake: 7 pounds</div><div style="text-align: center;">Matthew: 6 lbs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't believe I already have 13 pounds of baby in there. You know the craziest part? I went to the OB this morning and I am not even dilating, not even a little. I might just take this pregnancy full term to 38 weeks. If so, I will be induced February 21st. I am now counting down the days. I do have to admit, with all the pain and everything, it is still such a blessing. My doctor said only about 2 % of all the twins he has delivered (out of about 900 sets) have made it to 38 weeks. What an accomplishment that would be if I could make it all the way. I am not feeling too great, I am in so much pain, but the doctor is helping to focus on the part that is good. These babies would be so healthy and most likely would come home with me. He keeps telling me the pain I feel now can not even compare to the pain I would feel watching one of my babes or both, struggle to breath in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">NICU</span> or struggle to eat. I agree wholeheartedly. I will just hang in there and count my blessings, that they are still in there and healthy and strong so far:)</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-60544161532214779302012-01-23T08:53:00.001-08:002012-01-23T09:09:47.061-08:00Our first boy<div style="text-align: center;">I have realized, what with this pregnancy and all, I haven't done an update of my first born in way too long. The light of my life. The little man. The goofball.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to take some time to write about this little man that I love so very much.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He is getting so big. He loves to run, jump, be a plane, be a helicopter, be a car and last but not least, he LOVES to play that he is a robot.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">His imagination astounds me. He is learning to play by himself and I just love to watch as his little imagination comes alive. He can make any object into whatever he desires it to be. His dialogue with his toys is so funny and clever. I love to watch him as he explores the imagination only his mind can grasp and see. I just get to behold this wondrous boy grow and I love it so much.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUq5XuZIsNLG7-r2dw-qVVkNIsdqEA41supM6imduovFb88vvlUQBTpnGM8yE__pGEaUI6MXm9NkXjJHv9yP8pHVv79Mmdeqb25mXINKlDwXSdcDk_3JKN9mIaNq8nQ8bjgK7t3KZ7MHU/s400/DSC00165.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700871904906582274" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 285px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjezuqUva5OmDvpKIx4r0KYVyUjm1x48r8mvRMEdNoGbvhPb_udPuC7eQ0keU2OojIUlljdshZ4R066IpxURnRrN69icOV0_iUU6pyKPuuOZiK3IaQZT5NNJvBf3XKU3tWVV9-pvn-nhMI/s400/DSC00170.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700871915817318514" /><div style="text-align: center;">His smile pretty much melts my heart. He loves his mommy and I love him. He adores and loves his Daddy and his Daddy adores and loves him. Joe and I keep saying, "is it really possible to love more children the way we love <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Dallin</span>?" I sure hope so. My heart seems like it will already burst it is filled with so much love for him already.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He says the funniest things and sweetest things. Like:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom, I'm a robot and I'm charging( as he stands still) I can't move until I'm done.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom, I'm not a big boy, I'm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Dallin</span>.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom, chocolate milk is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">sooooo</span> good. It's yummy, I love it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom, I love you, you are so pretty.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom, I have a surprise for you...(stands with something behind his back), Surprise (as he whips out any object he happens to find on the ground from behind his back)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom, guess what...Me: What? <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Dallin</span>: I love you!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom, I don't need to sleep, I'm a robot...robot, robot, robot (in a robot voice)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And the list could go on. He is so hilarious, so fun and so full of energy. We are working on his temper tantrums, as a two year old he is bound to have them, but he is learning quickly and I just love to see him process the information. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">You</span> can literally see his little mind at work as he grows and learns. His face contorts in concentrations and he will ask me follow up questions. He is such a smart boy and I love to see him grow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He loves his doggy still and carries it everywhere with him. I don't know how long this attachment will last, but my guess is right before kindergarten.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He is so big. He really is. He is measuring the size of a four year old. He is close to 41 inches tall and not even 3 years old yet. He wears 4T's and even some of them are getting small. For this reason he is judged a little harshly by others. I think they expect him to act more mature, to be more well behaved and to be more obedient than he is. I have to keep reminding them and myself that he is only 2. He is so smart and so well behaved for a two year old and I need to stop others and myself from holding him to too high a standard. It's hard to remember he is two at times, when he dwarfs the other 2 year <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">old's</span> all the time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He is such a sweetheart. He is always picking things off the ground for me, he is always kissing my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">owies</span> (right now its my ginormous belly). He says he loves me constantly and like he picked up from the movie "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Tangled</span>," he often tells me he "Loves me most." I love him so much and I am so glad he came to our family. I can't imagine my life without him.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-5240387423993610612012-01-23T08:40:00.000-08:002012-01-23T08:46:52.335-08:0034 weeks<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghf22oaHUeeHndFo4eIxYZSKyfkLOflBrkDSa1nQHZdx5_PlLGzNZrkbqK2pEEGVdpgEON8uuYbyNlHE5wFNXyx8ZASHHiW1vJBf9NpZopyye0ZCm2gkqoYQOCu6verDf-ruItt4Si5IY/s1600/DSC00157.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 254px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghf22oaHUeeHndFo4eIxYZSKyfkLOflBrkDSa1nQHZdx5_PlLGzNZrkbqK2pEEGVdpgEON8uuYbyNlHE5wFNXyx8ZASHHiW1vJBf9NpZopyye0ZCm2gkqoYQOCu6verDf-ruItt4Si5IY/s400/DSC00157.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700868728309448514" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">34 weeks with Twins</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It is now just a few weeks until I would for sure deliver and I am getting so excited to meet these little guys.

I wear to belly support, one belly band and one back brace that also has belly support. I just can't get over h0w large my belly keeps getting. The pictures really don't do it justice. I literally stick out an entire foot from my side. It is pretty crazy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">They move so much, I think they are itching to get out.

This last week we finally got both cribs all put together, with mattress, bumpers and blankets. I bought like 30 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">onesies</span>, and I am sure that won't be enough. I stocked up on diapers and got my hospital bag ready to go. It is hitting me just how soon these little guys are going to come.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 330px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWkG6yFuyItZE_mDxiipWqFffCgF5TbpN7yWe4W7xqq4Xtuv3UzMKErZp-b3zUEHzJhyphenhyphenIoeIFNPYJEpguwfEzmkJPvAYRid82S4PJIswQNUVXdQJgA4D_JGISm2vDBggMNg5bAE0dEPvU/s400/DSC00156.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698706396128442786" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:85%;">Striking a pose, I actually thought this one was funny, so I put it up, and now that I see it on here, I think my belly looks smaller than any other picture this week, LOL:) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Really, it seems so surreal this week. I could deliver next week at 34 weeks and they most likely wouldn't have to go into the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">NICU</span>. I just can hardly wait to meet them. I am at the point now where I am in so much pain, I just want it to be over and have them in my arms. I know the nights will be sleepless and I will be recovering from a whole other injury, but I can not wait to finally be able to walk up stairs without being completely out of breath, or to have my quads and legs burn like I just ran for 3 miles. I can't wait to be able to bend over again, to sleep on my back again. But, most of all I can't wait to hold these little boys at last. To finally see what they look like, to kiss their little hands and feet and meet the ones that have made me realize how hard of things I can really accomplish. Being pregnant with twins has been the hardest thing I have ever done. Harder than my facial reconstruction, harder than my college career, harder than adjusting to married life. This pregnancy has been emotionally trying and physically taxing beyond anything I have ever been through. But, I know, that these little boys are going to bring such joy to Joe and I. I can picture <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Dallin</span> playing with them a few years from now when they are the age of the 3, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Dallin</span> is almost 6. I think they will be best friends and that thought makes all that I am going through <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">sooo</span> worth it:)</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-3858704004369674752012-01-10T16:27:00.000-08:002012-01-10T16:37:42.793-08:00They thought they were coming Today...but no.<div style="text-align: center;">Close call today.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Went in for a non-stress test. My contractions were so strong, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Perionatologist</span> thought I was in labor or some form of it. They admitted me into Labor and Delivery. After 4 tests, and being hooked up to a monitor for 4 hours, and one very strong shot, they determined, that right now I am just having some very strong contractions, but I am not in active labor (thank goodness).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I admit, I got scared there for awhile. I watched the monitor as my contractions came and went and I was reminded all to closely about my labor with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Dallin</span>. The contractions were about the same, and they were piggy-backing each other like they did with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Dallin</span>. I was so relieved when the cultures and samples came back negative. Apparently, there is some protein, or enzyme that is only present in your cervix during active labor and there wasn't any today. I am so glad. Plus I am only dilated to a 1 and some women, in fact, most women, can stay at a one for weeks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After 6 hours in the hospital I was finally able to go home. I have never been so thankful to be leaving a hospital before. It was hard being there by myself for most of it. Joe had to work and had appointments he just couldn't miss, so for the most part I was alone and it was not something I want to do again anytime soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to go back tomorrow for more observation. They gave me a nice shot of steroids to help the babies lungs develop quicker, just in case. I will get another one tomorrow. They stick it right into your backside and let me tell you, it hurts worse than getting an epidural into your spine. My bum burned for like an hour. More info than some might want to know, but hey. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's hope tomorrow goes more smoothly than today and I get to come home after a couple hours and not several. I just want these boys to be healthy and strong. Stay in there little ones, you don't need to make your debut any time soon....at least not for four more weeks please!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-31054867792273406052012-01-07T12:27:00.000-08:002012-01-07T12:38:59.231-08:0032 weeks and Growing!!!<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 271px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi6VwgH7vZ1pMil0qBx_frup7qsHwyGaGNVOxacpo4kNnW9AVy7XV2ue04nRjcJqM-0oBRvkgXYUPRwW_bLhM7cKcdFNcjVAZ0eC5BXpqTFgC0iBp1aYAYayOaZlZscFecFCiTd8dccBQ/s400/DSC00147.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694989535436165538" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 249px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE5RPI5igYnWlIhHCM1CygJlqb9sp79nLSP8F5_ZZ5wE3XnWCfa8nFOxXRzndhOYYmDLbqtMF-ZaSiAkY9wWu-LQ0t26VNbBcG8zpzgJWMrnl0KghsDf0iIJv9_kGL5EQgqLeOOO-U4_c/s400/DSC00146.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694989533592493778" /><div style="text-align: center;">32 weeks pregnant with Twins</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This week was one of a lot of stretching and pain. I could feel my ligaments stretching to their maximum and yet, they will keep right on stretching. I hit a milestone this week, 32 weeks is a great week for these babies. They are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">statistically</span> clear of things like scoliosis and spine-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">abifida</span>. All the medical research shows that if they came today, they would be much healthier than just one week ago. Exciting right?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Things are stretching like I said and my body just keeps on taking it on each week. The babies are moving like crazy. We get to see them on Tuesday again and I am excited to see just how large they are now. I am guessing almost 5 pounds, because my Maternal fetal Medicine doctor is predicting 7 lb. babies, so I would think they need to be quite large at this point. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It is amazing to me that I have two human bodies inside me, growing and developing. When I was pregnant with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Dallin</span> I was in awe of the whole miracle of child bearing, but this is even beyond what I felt with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Dallin</span>. I can just not believe it sometimes, that there are two. We feel so blessed and I feel so blessed to be their mama. I am so thankful this week, even with the pains and the stretching, I just keep thinking back to those hard years of trying to conceive and can't be anything but grateful that I have these two little ones inside me. I feel so blessed this week and I can't wait to meet them....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But hopefully still in 5 weeks and no less:)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I officially hit my 30 lb. weight gain this week. Good bye goal of staying under or reaching 30 lbs. I figure if I can just keep the weight gain around a pound a week, I will be good with a 35 pound weight gain, since that is actually the overall recommended weight gain for someone of my height and starting weight, I will be proud of myself. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-81882975923988081712011-12-30T09:53:00.000-08:002011-12-30T10:05:29.559-08:0031 weeks with Twins!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaAR-3vVTT8XgCzgvw2JR1-YIbfGxTjXhNTilHxhN1IWC1V05Z1jDX7VLi-InsWS6U-Ata8qTyXYoVC1lvjXlvucodxwSNO7LLHAUq2mT5jaiw3OAThHEQ1hHZyEZK_HEjOVaArDw-MkE/s1600/31+weeks+with+twins.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 257px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaAR-3vVTT8XgCzgvw2JR1-YIbfGxTjXhNTilHxhN1IWC1V05Z1jDX7VLi-InsWS6U-Ata8qTyXYoVC1lvjXlvucodxwSNO7LLHAUq2mT5jaiw3OAThHEQ1hHZyEZK_HEjOVaArDw-MkE/s400/31+weeks+with+twins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691981118051237634" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">31 weeks with twins!<br /><br /><br />I missed week 30. With the holidays and all, I just plain forgot. The two week span from my last picture may not seem different to most, but to me, I feel much bigger. My body is screaming at me this week. Everything is getting harder to do, but I must do it. I am still working out each day, the small amount of days I do happen to miss, my body is not happy with me at night. Whenever I miss working out, that very evening my contractions are so painful, my back hurts so bad and my overall energy level is like a zero. Believe it or not, working out makes my days better and easier to bear, though the working out part is super hard to do.<br /><br />My belly is measuring at least a month and a half over due and my body feels it too. Every day I don't think my belly can stretch any farther and then it does. Everything seems to be going fine though. I have another ultra sound in about a week. We will see the babies again and make sure that they are still head down. I can hardly wait for them to get here, and to finally see what these little boys look like.<br /><br />Blake, or Baby B is sitting higher and to my right side. He moves so much now it is getting uncomfortable. His little arms and legs, feet and hands are constantly pushing to get out. I see much more movement from Blake on my right, then Matthew on my left.<br /><br />Matthew is much more mellow than Blake. I hardly feel Matthew move and when I do it is subtle and very soft. He is not a kicker like his brother Blake. There are days I get super worried when I feel hardly anything on my left. It will be interesting to see what there personalities are like and if they fit with how they were in-utero.<br /><br />Just 7 weeks at the most to go. If I don't deliver by the 38 week mark they will induce me. I am hoping at my doctor's appointment on the 4th that we will set a date for this so I have something concrete to look forward to.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273212367354123709.post-83250424349884598342011-12-20T11:17:00.000-08:002011-12-20T11:24:07.589-08:0029 weeks with Twins<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQU86Eywt_bL11Chw4OcW9iZwRfmitSqk4tHBS0DAeDkR4HJWvD98c-aMEdBV6xzT-sjYh_oU-VMAkD59gwRsA8ESucm5x5_vHsEPfP5PHz0XaSuEC_ln7JMwZdMkmswVK1eBfs7d58Wk/s1600/29+weeks+with+twins.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 232px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQU86Eywt_bL11Chw4OcW9iZwRfmitSqk4tHBS0DAeDkR4HJWvD98c-aMEdBV6xzT-sjYh_oU-VMAkD59gwRsA8ESucm5x5_vHsEPfP5PHz0XaSuEC_ln7JMwZdMkmswVK1eBfs7d58Wk/s400/29+weeks+with+twins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688291905265325682" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay, I am only a couple days shy of being 30 weeks, but I had to post this 29 week pic for posterity sake. Here I am at 29.5 weeks pregnant with twins. We went to a family Christmas party Sunday and I got all the expected looks and comments from my unexpected extended family. Most of them didn't know I was having twins, so when they found out I was due in February, their eyes would go all wide and they would go silent. Pretty funny for me to witness.<br /><br />I measured full term almost two weeks ago, and so since then I have just gotten larger and larger, and passing up the full term status <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">quo</span> has been well, humbling. I am feeling the discomfort big time and really rely on Joe's help. He got a cortisone shot in his back a few days ago and has been able to help a lot more. And I let him. It is hard though to not pick <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Dallin</span> up as much as I used to. To not play with him as much as I used to, but I had to realize and finally except that I can't do as much as I used to.<br /><br />These babies are healthy and strong and soon, they will be 4 pounds. I can hardly believe it. I hope they come around 37 weeks, that would be ideal. We will see though, I know they will come on their own timeline, nothing much I can do about it.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4
