Hello World!!
Alexander Thomas and Nicholas Andrew arrived on May 19, 2005 at 8:59 and 9:03 respectively.
Alex weighed 7 lbs and measured 19 3/4 inches.
Nicholas was 5 lbs 4 ounces and was 20 inches.
David and Kristy could not be more thrilled!
Obviously, a lot has happened since the arrival of our sons. It has been three months, now, since that wonderful Spring day that ended 38 weeks and 1 day of pregnancy and many, many years of anticipation. Much of it has been a blur, but it has been a joyous blur. Many, many sleepless nights, lots of crying, tons of cuddling, slippery little baths, and now fantastic smiles have occupied our time since our little guys arrived, and neither of us would trade it for anything!
May 27, 2005. Sooo tiny and soooo sweet!
May 31, 2005. Nana and Mommy washing two little heads!
Sad Alex!
Very Sad Nick!
The good news is that they like baths MUCH better now. Those sponge baths were no fun at all!
June 17, 2005. Almost one month old and napping together! It didn't take them long to outgrow these clothes!!!
June 27, 2005. I love this picture of Alex!!! David took it as Alex was just waking up from a nap.
July 1, 2005. As you can tell, we have our little guy, Nicholas, and our big guy, Alex.
Nicholas looking cute on July 20, 2005.
August 13, 2005. Hanging out in the crib after diaper changes. As the boys are getting older, they are starting to look more and more alike - much more like bothers now. Yes, they are starting to lock arms and hold hands!!
There is so much more we want to share with you all, but this is a start. These are just a few of the pictures that David and I have taken on the one camera that I happen to have the software for on my laptop. There will be many more updates to our boys' blog, so come back often.
Lots of love to you all!

How wonderful! Too bad you have to "sell" breastfeeding to anyone. Who doesn't get "breast is best"? You're the mama,,, you get it! That's all that matters. The baby boys are absolutely beautiful and thriving!
We are all so very happy for the two, I mean four of you!

I am in full support if your choice to breastfeed! Or, as we call it in our house "boob food." It really is a sensitive issue. I think a lot of women may feel intimidated by the task, or had a difficult time with one child, feel overwhelmed, etc. For me, I felt it best to set goals. "I'll breast feed for at least six weeks then take it from there." After six weeks we were doing great so I set the goal for three months. Now we are at a solid five months and my goal is to make it the full year. Life tends to throw curve balls so we'll see if we can make this new goal. Wish us luck!
On another note...LOVE the picts!!! I still don't know how you do it with two babies!!! You rock!
By the by, the blog is an awesome idea. Keep it up!
Peace and Love,
Jackie
