Thanksgiving weekend

I'm pooped so there will not be much typing. I will just post some pictures for everyone to see. It was a rough week/weekend because the babies have gotten congested and sniffly again. They don't sleep well and just generally feel like crap. They did really well on Thanksgiving Day, though. The family finally got to really see them, so that was nice. We got some neat pictures of them. Now I'm sick again with some sort of sinus-something and it stinks! I did finally join the gym this weekend, so hopefully I can get back into shape. It was our Christmas present to me. It's funny how the years go by and surprise presents go out the window. . . anyway. Check out the pictures!

More than meets the eye

Noah and Aaron are my little Transformer buddies. They are both at my Mom's this weekend because Travis and I have the funk. Apparently they are enjoying themselves watching The Smurfs, Spongebob Squarepants, and Transformers. Better those shows than all of those new-fangled things on TV nowadays. Heh! I'm going to be one of those parents that tries to get my kids to watch The Snorks and stuff like I watched when I was little. They are going to think I'm so lame. Oh well! My little buddies. . . . I sure do miss them.


Noah is Bumblebee.


Aaron is Optimus Prime. . . I love it!!

Babies and barf . . . unrelated.

What a day! Well, the babies went to the doctor today for their RSV vaccines. Noah is up to 11 lbs 9 oz. and Aaron is 11 lbs 4 oz. They're doing very well. We were actually able to start them on rice cereal today. We can add it to their bottles twice a day and hopefully increase to every bottle in the next few days to help them gain weight. I got them the kind with bananas and they seem to like it pretty well. Hopefully it will help them to sleep longer through the night. It will be interesting to see how it affects their poop. Funny how you talk and think of things like that after kids. Actually, it's still hard to believe I even have kids. I changed Aaron tonight after his nap and bottle and he gave me a big smile so I knew that there was a nice present in there for me. . . . and boy was there! Mmm. I'll spare you the details. It gets even better - Travis is sick. And I mean sick. If he's not better tonight I will take him to the hospital. He hasn't been able to eat or keep anything down or in for 24 hours now. He's never sick, but he's been ill twice in the last 2 weeks. He recently bought more Peter Pan peanut butter so of course I thought salmonella, but not so. I hope he's better soon because I'm tiring quickly. Staying up all night with babies and a sick husband doesn't do for a happy Amber. I think I will try to get a couple of hours of sleep now. Nite all.

Weight Loss

So, I'm getting closer to my starting weight before I had the babies. It seems like it has taken forever just to get back down to this point. I gained around 35 pounds with the babies. I have 11 more pounds to go and it figures that Thanksgiving and Christmas is coming up. I guess this is the time where my will power must prevail. I had a meeting at work this morning and they had biscuits, donuts, other junk, fruit, and yogurt. I had a banana and some yogurt. I really wanted one of the chocolate covered donuts from Donut Connection. Yum. I really need to work out or walk or something but time to do this is non-existent anymore. I need to try harder. More pushups, more abs, more legs. I guess I will get to work rather than sitting in front of this computer!
Adios!

Randomness

Is that even a word? Anyway. I just wanted to say that I miss Clemson football games. I miss tailgating and hanging out - decking out in the clothes, being hoarse on Sundays, sweating in places you didn't know could sweat . . . oh the times. I miss our tailgate buddies Amanda and Nathan. Cooking, CORNHOLING, making orange rice crispy treats. We didn't get our season tickets this year because we thought the babies were coming around August -- wish we would have now. oh well. we have 3 games left and I plan to make the most of them. Tomorrow is Friday. SOLID ORANGE FRIDAY. Support your Tigers!!!

FIVE MONTHS!

The babies will be five months on Monday. I had cards made for their 4 month birthday and still haven't sent them out. I'm slack. My days off are spent in doctor's offices, cleaning the house, or sleeping. I really need to be better. The babies were fussy this morning, but fell into a nice sleep on the way to daycare. They have new hats. My mom got them and they cry initially when you put them on, but then they forget about it and sleep. Good thing, because they're too darn cute with them on! Enjoy the pictures!!!

evolving

Ok. So this 'blog thing is different. I find that it seems like it will be an easy way to keep up with people we know and love and make it easy for others to keep up with the babies. I know that everyone wants to know what's going on with the babies, and that's ok. I'm not offended or hurt. :) After all, they are much more exciting than Travis and I could ever be. Prepare yourself for poop stories, new adventures, and laughs. We are joining this new revolution . . . the blog.
