DADDY WILL BE HOME TOMARROW!!!!!

Wow, its really hard to believe that mike is on his way home. We thought about it for a while and together tried to come up with the best decision for our family. Does he fly home, or take the chance and continue with the West pac and come home next week.... After the Dr appt I had yesterday, we had alot of choices to make. As you know Isabella has always been head up and feet down. As for Christian, well he has been head down for the most part. Last week he decided to change and turn so that made them both breetch. I went to the Dr yesterday, now that I am 34 weeks, and had my weekly stress test done. They monitored the babies for a while and for the most part everything looked great. Butr there was Christian again head down. Their heart beats and breathing motions were out standing. The concern that they had was my blood pressure was a bit high, and Christian wasnt moving like he is supposed to. They would like him to move at least 10 times in two hours and he moved once in 11 min. Most would say its because there is no room in there, but thats doesnt seem so in this case because he keeps doing 360's all around in there.The probluem that we are having is that we dont know what is causing him to not move. Is it the cord getting caught, or is it something more..... So he has been monitoring me as far as kick counts and we decided with all this plus finding out that I am almost 2 cent dialated, very thined out, and no mucus plug it would be best for daddy to come home. We are not sure where or when they will make their arrival into this world but we were ready to do it together! These babies are miricles and after two long years of trying, we are not taking any chances and dont want to miss being together as a family for such a special moment. So as I said mike has left Hawaii tonight and I will be picking him up from the airport in the am. We decided not to tell Brenden, due to so many things that can and have changed with the navy. Daddy is just going to show up at school tomarrow afternoon to get Brenden and when he does, boy will he have the biggest shock ever. Brenden has been counting the days of this long six month deployment and tomarrow is finally the day it will all come to an end. There isnt a day that goes by that he doesnt talk or brag about his daddy and how proud he is of him. But after 6 long months, we are now ready to share such a special time together with the new additions comming into this family and a wonderful summer together..... I thank everyone that has been here through this whole 6 months with many of the ups and downs and I just say that the help and strength of you guys is what truley helped this family to get through each and everyday. I promise to keep everyone updated on whats going on and pictures will soon follow....We love you and miss you all so very much!!!!

LOOK AT ISABELLA'S NEW DRESS!!!!

I just wanted to share with everyone this special dress. My girlfriend veronica was out at the fair today and she met a lady that makes clothes for children. She saw this and had to get one for the new princess in our lives. I swear everytime she goes out she thinks of these babies and they arent even here yet...LOL I think that when Daddy gets home and sees Bella in this cute dress he will truley melt. We are getting so excited about the two mircles and cant wait for their arrival.

TRYING TO BE CREATIVE!!!!!

Just wanted to share with everyone what I have been working on all week. I was going to try and order something like this, but I figured beings that I have to rest and pretty much stay off my feet why not try and be creative. So I went and bought the wood and paint and this is what I made out with. I will be hanging them up tomarrow after they finish drying. Let me know what you think........

MIKE HARD AT WORK IN THE GULF!!

I Just wanted to share with everyone some new pictures I got of mike. He is so ready to come home thats for sure.They finally left their last port and are finally on their way. We are finally on the home stretch now and its just a few more weeks. I love to get pictures of him, just so I can see how he is doing and how he has changed over the past 6 months. I hope that you all like these too....

BRENDEN'S SPRING SCHOOL PICTURES!

I just wanted to share with everyone Brenden's new school pictures. He has grown so much over this past year and I couldnt be more proud of him. In the begining of the year he had alot happen and went through alot at school, trying to get adjusted and then with his dad leaving it was a huge challenge. But he over came it all and grew so fast. Now he has turned into such a yound man and I know that when his daddy comes home he will be so suprised not only how much he has grown but also what a big boy he is today.... He is getting ready to finish scool here on July 21st and then off to the big 1st grade! Then a week latter he will be starting his first year of football.... We are looking so forward to daddy taking him to his practices everynight and then on Sat the whole family will be there to watch him play... We will be sure to keep you all up to date and post lots of pictures...... We love you all and miss you very much!

OUR NEW BASSINETT!!!!

I just wanted to share with you all the new bassinett. We werent going to go with one due to the fact that they each have their own crib, yet they sleep together for the first 6-8 months anyways. But a friend of mine had this for her son and he never used it once so she offered it to me and I was like why not. I think that its so cute and it can go for either gender. I have it in our room and it goes wondeful with all the classic pooh stuff I have. Its that really pretty sage green and I think that it looks very nice. You will have to let us know what you think......

32 WEEKS AND STILL HANGING ON!!!!

Hey everyone, sorry that its been a while since I last updated. Things have been kinda crazy around here with Mike getting ready to come home in just two weeks and so many little thing that I am trying to do, yet my body isnt being very cooperative. As for all the baby stuff, we are all set and ready for these two miricles to finally join us. Again I thank everyone that has helped us along the way and all the wonderful showers I had. As for me I am doing well, very tired and often cant sleep. It seems to be very hard to get comfortable at all these days. I have been seeing the Dr every tues now for a few weeks and this last tues he said that I am dialated 1 and half cent. That he can feel christians head floating, which is a good thing. That means that he isnt to far down just yet. As for Bella, well she is head up and feet down so I get alot of the pressure from her and boy does that hurt....LOL We havent yet decided how we want to do the whole labor thing just yet. The Dr said that its pretty much up to me. I can deliver him and then they can either pull her out by her feet, or manually turn her. Or we can just go for a C-section. I figure when the time comes we can decide together. I am just praying that they stay in just a bit longer. Daddy will be in Hawaii in just a few days and has a plan ticket to come home, depending on what is said tomarrow at the Dr. If everything goes well then we will just be waiting on the pier at home comming!! I am so excited that this long journey is finally almost over and soon he will be home with us again! As for Brenden he is doing wonderful and is truley counting the days down until his daddy is home. He is finishing up with school, he gets out July 21st. The best part is that daddy will be home and grandma and gramdpa tracey will be here for his big day. He is graduating from K and is so excited..... Then the following week he starts football and is looking so forward to having daddy there with him.... He is so excited about the babies and cant wait to be the big brother. He keeps asking me if they can sleep with him.. LOL I know that he is going to be such a big helper and best of all a wonderful big brother! Not much else going on, I will be sure to update tomarrow after the Dr appt to let you all know whats going on.. We love you all and miss you all so much!!!!!
