I’ve wanted to get the girls side by side since… well, since they’ve been separated! At first it wasn’t feasible, of course because of the machines and IV’s that were involved, but for the last week I’ve wished I could just put them together. Finally today I got the nerve to ask the nurse if …

A Fortnight
That’s how long it’s been since I left home in such a dramatic manner. 🙂 I’ve been doing pretty well keeping my attitude upbeat over all. I’m so thankful for healthy (albeit tiny) girls and the care that they are getting! I’m thankful for the itty-bitty diapers that I get to change, even if it’s …
The NICU
Our girls were born at 33 weeks 4 days. Too early to be born without a little help. You’ll likely recall from one of my first posts after we announced the twins were on the way that I really didn’t want to have to have a NICU experience. I know the statistics though and that …
Happy one-week Birthday!
(So this was the post I had ready to publish on Tuesday the girl’s b-day, but my blog was “broke.” Thanks to my technology wizard hubby, it is now working again!!) It’s hard to believe that our Peaches are a week old already?! Wow! It’s been somewhat of a surreal week for sure! In a …
Adrenaline Rush

Actually it just left altogether and I felt it’s absence intensely! And it hurt! 😉 I didn’t realize until that moment that I had been running on adrenaline. I was somewhat …
Peach Harvest {Part 3}
I wasn’t able to get much sleep because inevitably every time I rolled onto my side, one of the girls would come off the monitor. At 2-somethingish AM one of the doctors came in and told me that the decels were concerning with the babies and that they thought it best to go ahead and …
Peach Picking {Part 2}
So Saturday I spent the day on the Labor and Delivery floor on the monitors. I don’t like being tethered to those things. Getting up to use the potty is SUCH a chore! A nurse has to come “unplug” everything and drape the cords around my neck, and then I have to tote along the …
Picking the Peaches {Part 1}
As you know I like to write down the kids birth stories. With the twins though it is going to take a couple/few installments. 😉 Simply because… well because there’s more to tell, I guess. And since there are 2 of them, they can occupy the platform for a little while, I think. So I …
