Littlebird it was those 5 months of not being able to do anything with ds that kicked it for me. I thought "hey i havent been to the playground with him for so long... I have to do it now"...and seeing him enjoy it so much was so worth it!
Aw, I bet you all are going to have a lot of fun at the playground from now on!
Well Ladies, Baby has been born! I'm infatuated
It's a BOY, his name is Colin. He was born on June 4th, at 2:47 am, weighing 8 lbs 8 oz, and is 20.25 inches long. We just got home this afternoon. I'll try to post a birth story when I get the time/energy

PitaKat -- He's gorgeous! I love the name, and he turned out to be pretty big, huh? I bet you're getting lots of baby cuddles with him!
So, I gave birth on May 7! Chloe Anne was born on May 7 (35 weeks) at 11:24 a.m. by c-section, 6 lbs 5 oz, 19 inches. I had been hospitalized on bed rest after my 3rd major bleed due to placenta previa. The fourth bleed, which was no more than the size of a quarter alerted my doctor and she wasn't going to give me anymore time.
At our one month appointment yesterday, Chloe weighed 8 lbs 12 oz and measured 20.5 inches--gestationally 39 weeks. Whitney, my first, was born at 39 weeks and was 8 lbs 3 oz and 21.5 inches. I think both girls got daddy's size genes (Whitney is not yet 3, but wearing 5 year old clothes and that daddy is 6'8"). I'm a little relieved at this moment that I didn't have to carry to term and give birth to an 8 lb 12 oz baby (did I mention that I'm 5' 1"?). The good news is that the pediatrician told me that I don't have to wake Chloe every three hours anymore to feed but that I can feed on demand. I got a bit more sleep last night as a result. So things are progressing!
I will post updates...so sorry I've been so out of touch. Can't wait to see more pictures of your babies!
Lilmama -- Chloe is gorgeous. Thank you for posting pictures. I can't believe how big she was at 35 weeks. You're right, a baby that big when you're only 5'1" is a little scary.
I'm 4'11" and I was always scared of having a baby that went late. Thank goodness DH and I are on the short side. No need to worry about those tall genes your husband has!
So, I should have updated you all earlier, but the twins were born on 6/2. I put some information in my journal about it, but we came home two days ago and are settling into a routine. They are good boys so far and we're working through breastfeeding currently. My hope is to have them feeding at the same time pretty soon, when they are both experts at latching on.
