As I stated earlier, the girls are 9 months old now. They had their well baby check up and.....the verdict is in......I have peanuts!!!!
Hannah weighs 16 pounds 5 oz. and is 26 1/2 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for height and 20-25 % for weight.
Megan weighs 15 pounds 2 oz. and is 25 3/4 inches long she is in the 10-15 % for weight and the 25th for height.
They are so tiny....but LOVE their table food!

Luck
I never knew how lucky I could be until i sat back and started looking at my life. God has blessed me with two beautiful daughters that never cease to amaze me. In their nine months of life on earth, each day brings me such joy and amazement. I think I have a permanent smile on my face for everything they do. I couldn't imagine my life any different, than with my two daughters. Yea, I may miss out on having mommy's little boy, but my two girls mean the world to me.
I have a husband who is not afraid to step in and help out, even if it means to ask a question or two. He is my rock, my friend, whom I don't know what life would be like without him. probably chaotic!
I have a supportive family who have helped me be the person I am today.
Is there more than that, that is needed for happiness???

Bear with me!
I think I found a better compromise to my blog dilemma! I want a pretty background, where all the links work! And I can still have my pictures and my poems....I think I have it.
I also figured out the blog roll!!!!! Wa-hoo.....thanks TRACY for the reccomendation!

Schedule
I know that there are others out there who have more than two...but multiples bring a new sense of scheduling and getting ready. So I thought I would post a schedule to let you know what a day is like with twins.....
6:30 am wake up---you hear 2 voices and 4 legs kicking the mattress you know it it time to get up. Start off with 2 diapers. Knowing that if one is poopy, the other is too...they are on the same schedule
6:45 2 bottles...down go 12 oz. of formula
7:30-8:00 breakfast Used to be oatmeal and a fruit, but recently they have been liking pancakes, cheerios and some sort of fruit...pears, peaches, strawberries or babanans.
8-9:00 play time! They play, giggle roll and try to get on their knees.
9:00-11:30 Nap time...just like clock work. Start with a diaper change...then lay them down with their music
11:30 or 12 when they wake up another diaper change (so as you see we already have gone through 6 diapers for the day) Then another bottle. Another 12 oz for the day.
12-1:00 play time
1:00 lunch time....hmm this changes but generally a veggie and a fruit...of course not pureed...they just want food they can pick up. Their fav. being zucchini
1:30-2:15 more play time then another diaper change...number 7 and 8 for diapers.
2:30-4 or 4:30 Nap time again. During this time...I try to pick up the house, and do a load of laundry and wash the rest of the bottles
4:30 another round of diaper changes....number 9 and 10 diapers...then bottles. Another 12 oz down.
4:30-6:00 play time...daddy comes home and plays too, while I throw together dinner. (usually a 30 minute meal from Rachel ray)
6:00 dinner time...another fruit veggie, and cheerios.
7:00 bath time. 20 finger, 20 toes, 8 cheeks, 2 tummies, 4 legs, 4 arms and 2 heads of hair. Also 2 more diapers....so 12 diapers a day. Or more if they have a poopy diaper in between....
7:15 bottle usually 3-4 oz each...then into bed. 2 hugs each girl 2 kisses for each girl, then lay down and you never hear another sound.
Whew...time to clean the kitchen up!

Changes
I am going through changes on my blog. (Thanks Tracy!) Another blog inspired me to do so. I will be working on it through out this next week. This is not set in stone, but we'll see what happens.

My Friend, My Husband, Their Daddy
I realized that my blog is mainly about my girls, or me. I have never put in a post about Rich. We are getting closer to our 4 year anniversary, and never have i found a person, more caring or supportive of me. Although he was very nervous to be a daddy, he has proved to be not only my best friend, but a wonderful daddy as well.

Ahhh....
It is 7:20 pm....the girls are sound asleep, bathed, fed and given bottles. Not bad for being home alone all day long.
Now I need to wash all of the bottles so I can watch, So you Think you Can Dance.
Wow!

Hannah your constant smile and laid back personality. Your love of sweet potatoes, and zucchini...I know you take after your mommy.
Megan your new poses and silly personality. I know that you are just like your daddy.
I can't wait to see your other milestones.
I love you more each day!

New Word
Well I don't know if you call this a proud parent moment...or just a moment to let you know that your daughters are thinkers and understand somethings around them....
Zeno (the cat) walks by the girls daily and meows...well today as if it were a chorus for a new meow mixes commercial. Zeno walked by and both girls said....
"Meow"
oh so proud.....
now if I can figure out if they are part feline or part chipmunk...they seem to store their food in their cheeks...too cute!

Crazy?
Well today, I think everyone that lives here thinks I am crazy! I went grocery shopping with the girls. Thankfully they are sitting up now. So Hannah was able to go in the cart while Megan was carried in the infant bjorn. I went to a grocery store where you even pack your own groceries...and success....it was so fun!!!
