Changes

Life as we knew it on Chase Street has changed.  Changed for the better?  We hope so because it can't get any worse!

As many of you know we brought our twins Violet and Ryan home on my father's birthday, July 17th.  The first few days were hell.  We had wondered what we had gotten ourselves into.  We called in some back up (our parents)  Having someone there to help us out was awesome and helped us so much.  Some of the best help we had was from Darlene's book club ladies.  They took turns cooking us dinner a few nights a week.  That was awesome.

2 hours of sleep over a period of 30 is not a good thing.  Thank goodness for family and friends that helped out.

It's crazy how one day you are going about your business and then one day everything changes.  You no longer matter and now you have two little people that need to be taken care of before anything else happens.  And we are OK with that.

Being home with them has been the best.  Even though they may be crying and fussing a lot, it is still great to be with them.  They also drive us crazy!  But we love them more than anything.  It is amazing how that happens.
They are slowly becoming themselves.  Facial expressions are so fun to watch.  Violet is very laid back, not much upsets her.  Ryan loves looking out the window and going for walks.  We are excited for them to start to talk to us and each other.

It has and will continue to be one wild ride.

First of all thank you to everyone that prayed for us last week while Darlene had her surgery.  Everything went great.  Darlene is doing well.  Still a little sore sometimes, but hopefully on the fast track of recovering!  Last time it was arthroscopic procedure.  This time it was actually an incision.  So there is more healing time needed now. The hardest thing now is Darlene being around the kids when she can't pick them up for a few weeks yet.  It is killing her that she can't pick up an hold her babies.  She does as much as she can, bathing, changing, feeding.  So she is at least getting some good time with them.  But it isn't the same.  She plans on being able to persuade the Dr. when she goes in for her check up to ease up on the lifting restrictions.  Nothing over 10lbs currently.  Violet is at 15lbs and Ryan at 18lbs!  They get so big, so fast.

Coming soon.....

The twins are coming soon!  As of right now Ju ly 15th is going to be their birthday.  We have scheduled the C-section.  Darlene is still really hoping that they will get head down and that she can experience labor.  She is a little bummed about the idea of a "scheduled" delivery.  I think it is just that part of us that wants to be able to tell out kids and others the story.  (So we were sitting around watching tv or at 3am I woke up and my water had broke so I told Jason to get ready and he stubbed his toe.... something like that I assume.)  I had read that sometimes when you play babies music in the womb is makes them move around and they end up with their head down.  So we have making play lists and Darlene has been laying down with headphones on her belly.  The twins tend to move quite a bit!  The other night one of them punched or kicked so hard the remote flew away!  It was amazing!  The twins actually have moved a li...
