Babies Have Arrived!

This is Ky and I have no idea what I am doing. Shelby is a little busy right now, I don't know why??? :) She asked me to put some pictures of our little ones on here. Were just a little proud! Our little ones finally arrived! Thursday morning at 11:14 a.m. Porter Vaden Close joined our family and at 11:34 a.m. Harper Rae Close followed. Porter weighed in at a strapping 6lbs 4 ounces and Harper weighed in at a large 5lbs 8 ounces. Everything went really smooth and they are both doing great! We brought them home yesterday (Saturday) and have had a great time with are three kiddos. Life is good! Shelby is also doing great. She is already back cleaning, its amazing. Good thing too becasue it probably wouldn't get done. Thanks to everyone who has helped out. Is amazing at times like these how you realize how many people have your back. Its awesome.

Baby update

I went to the doctor today. Both babies are vertex still and measuring great. Our boy weighed in at 5 lbs. 2 oz. and our girl at 5lbs. 15 oz. The nurse didn't feel like our boys measurements were completely accurate because he was being sooo squished by his sister, (she was thinking he was a little bit bigger than that.) I was hoping to have progressed a lot this past week so my doctor would either induce me today or that I would stay about the same because he is going out of town this weekend. I'm a 3....so chances are I'll be able to make it to the 9th. It seems a little disappointing because I'm getting so big and uncomfortable and having quite a few contractions, but I can do anything for 8 more days, especially if it will help the babies. Maybe the extra time will help us decide on what we are going to name them.

Where a kid can be a kid

Tonight we went to Chuck E. Cheese's along with a million other people. It was packed! We had a really fun time though. Kynnady absolutely loved meeting Chuck E. Cheese. It was a place where a kid could be a kid, if you were willing to wait in line to play the games:)

My prince

This morning while eating breakfast Kynnady asked me, "Mom, you know that story where the princess kisses the frog and he turns into a prince?" I said "Ya." Then she asked, "Is that what happened with you and Daddy, was my Daddy a frog?" I told her that her Daddy has always been a prince. I thought it was so cute. She lit up and smiled. She loves her dad so much. Ky has been an extra big help lately. He has been taking very good care of me/us. Thanks-my prince. I love ya! Also today is my last day of work! Yea!

34 weeks

I went back to the doctor today. Everything still is looking good. I was having a lot of contractions this past weekend, so I was glad to hear that he thinks I will be able to carry them a few more weeks still- I am only dilated to a 1. On ultrasound our boy weighs 4 lbs. 8 oz. and our girl 4 lbs. 10 oz. It is always hard for me to really tell what they look like from an ultrasound, but they both looked like they had chubby cheeks. The first picture is a profile shot of our girl and the second is of our boy-it is kinda hard to tell.

Tumbling

Kynnady just started taking a tumbling class. She is learning a lot and having a great time. We are so proud of her. She is growing up so fast. Today is also a milestone for us with this pregnancy....we are down to 1 month.....30 days or less and counting. Yea! We are getting so excited!

Rattoos

Last week Kynnady was making "arts" (drawing, coloring, glueing, etc.) and next thing I knew she has drawn a big, beautiful design on her knee with a black marker. She said, "Mom, look a I've got a rattoo." Later that night she asked Ky when she could get a real rattoo. We thought it was pretty funny. Well, today she was proud to come home from Grandma's with her new rattoos on her arms. She was even happier than we didn't scrub them off in the bath (yet)! When I asked her to pose for pictures tonight, she would only do tough girl faces- I guess that comes with the rattoos.
