Long John's Here We Come!!

Yesterday we decided to have some play time outside. It was finally warm enough to enjoy some snow, so we got Barrett dressed in his long johns. We couldn't resist how cute he looked and had to take some pics.

Williams had their baby!!!

Kyle and Melissa welcomed their baby girl yesterday early morning!!! Her name is Tatym Ann. We are so very excited to meet her and introduce Barrett to her, too. We hope the new family is doing well.

Thurday night I got a text message saying that they just got the epidural and that Melissa was 7 cm dilated. After that I didn't hear anything. The next morning at work, I quickly emailed my sister to find out if she knew anything (I was dying with excitement). She emailed me right back with all the news. It was so exciting. Soon after that I got another text from the Williams with a picture of Tatym Ann. Oh, she is so beautiful. It was such an exciting day. Congrats, again, to the new family. :)

Barrett vs. Spagetti

Barrett was lovin' his spagetti the other night. Although he was given a fork to use he opted to use his hands. This provided us with quite the dinner entertainment! :)

(Sorry about the video being cut-off...I don't know how to fix it, though)

The top pic is of baby A (the one head down and closest to the cervix) and the bottom pic is of baby B (this baby is breech).

FINALLY...I'm back!

Okay, okay, so I know it has been awhile since I have last posted. It is honestly not my fault. Shortly after I last posted I shut down my computer like always, then the next day I went to turn it on and it crashed...bad. It wouldn't start in any mode I tried, so I had to take it in. First I took it to a guy in Portland who told me that he couldn't save anything. I cried and cried. All of Barrett's pictures from his first year were gone. So my brother told me to go get a second opinion. I took it to a place in Lansing and after about 3 weeks, they saved everything and now I have my computer back. The computer had to get a new operating system, which means that it is back to how it was when we bought the computer. Needless to say, it is a big mess. Luckily though everything was saved!

On to other things, I had my last doctor's appointment last Monday and everything looks great. The doctor just kept saying how perfect everything is. The babies both weigh about 2 lbs, so that explains why my belly is just getting so big so fast. I do have to wear a pregnancy cradle now when I am at work. It helps so much because of how much I am on my feet. At this point I am working on a month-to-month basis. I go back to the doctor the second week of February. The babies are now moving all the time. One baby is head down and the other baby is lying more sideways. Their feet are in almost the same place, so when they get going they can really get going. You can see the kicks, too. They can be very busy babies!!! Sometimes it's even a little painful.

With all this baby talk, I want to send my best out to the Williams who are expecting their little girl any day now. I can't wait!!!

Barrett's been okay recently. Last week he got really sick so I had to take him to the doctor. It ended up that he had a double ear infection (again). I also think he got a bit of the stomach flu that I had earlier in the week, too. We couldn't keep anything down. Poor little guy. Then last weekend Ben got the same stomach bug. We have all been pretty sick recently, but I think we may be turing the corner...hopefully.

Below are some pictures from Christmas and pregnancy and so on:
