Well...that's because you've got two in there!

And that's where it all began...

Amazing how one little phrase from an ultrasound technician, at what was SUPPOSED to be a routine pregnancy exam, can change your entire life. By now, everyone is pretty up to date about what happened after that comment was made, and the full update is over on my weight loss blog for those that aren't quite sure what went down.

Now it's time to start this blog back up with all the fun stuff. Our twin boys, Dorian and Jasper, are now 7 weeks old. Time is flying! We have already had our first smiles out of both of them, they have both had their first colds, poor little guys, and they are growing so fast that they are almost out of their newborn clothes. It's incredibly hard being a parent of 3 children under 3. The boys were born just a few short weeks after Loralei's 2nd birthday so really they are all pretty close to being under 2. Terrible two's AND two newborns?! I'm tired just thinking about it and i live it every day. I won't lie, i'm a walking zombie most days, but they are pretty cute kids so it's worth it. Lori is an absolutely fantastic big sister, she helps us feed the boys, gets diapering supplies, helps rock and swing them when they are fussy, and sings to them when they just want some attention. The current song of choice being the Alphabet, though Lori sings it more like "A-B-A-B-A-B-B-F-G-O-P", At least she get's the "A-B" part right, and it's pretty cute listening to her try the rest.

Roman and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary yesterday. It's hard to believe how much has changed in the last 3 years. As fantastic as it's been, we both agree that we would like to slow down a little, and enjoy the little family we have now. Time passes too quick...except when you are pregnant with twins, then time slows to a snails pace (or slower if that's possible), but in general time passes too quick, time to stop and smell the...rose scented diaper pail liner.
