Earning their keep

So I decided that my babies need to earn full ride scholarships, and earn their keep while they are still at home. So they are learning to read (ok looking at pictures is the same thing) and folding their own laundry :)

In real life, I had two babies awake and needed to fold their laundry. Needless to say, all I accomplished was taking a million pictures!

No need for words :)

The big Day.

     So I decided that I'd start from April 27, 2011 and introduce my lovely babies to the world of blog followers. I guess I'll start on April 22 because that's the day we got the green light to bust out some babies. That was the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I wasn't super miserable but more than anything I didn't want to have an emergency.
     Tuesday morning rolls around and it was like Christmas Eve. You have that wake up and be excited all day long because you are going to get a load of presents feeling. (of course you remember the TRUE meaning of Christmas, but lets be honest, we all know what I'm talking about) Of course I was definitely getting a load of presents the next day. I started packing my bags and the babies bag. All the goods. The XXL shirts, pajama bottoms, a toothbrush and some moisturizer. Time dragged on and finally it was time to sleep. Oh, did I mention that I couldn't eat anything starting at midnight. That will explain a lot later on in this story. That's not the easiest thing for a whale to do, especially when she's been eating non stop for the last 7.5 months to grow ginormous babies! Ok, it's the day of. I'm showered and ready to go. Bags are packed, stomach is soooo empty and I am starting to realize that in a couple of hours this whole journey is just going to get started. I wont be pregnant anymore. Funny thing to realize, but it's true that's what I was thinking about. This is my lovely self right before I wobbled out to the van.

I'm just going to throw in a bunch of pictures right now and we'll get to the good part (the babies :)

Enter Ethan Andrew Cunningham at 5lb 11oz 

Jackson Aton Cunningham 5 lb 6 oz

 Brinley Paige Cunningham, our peanut, 4 lb 8 oz

Behind the Scenes...

So. Here we are. Two months in and we have three healthy happy babies and two grateful parents.  Ethan and Jackson  are both over 12 pounds and Ms Brinley is now over 9! You might imagine that sleep doesn't happen around our house and for the first couple of weeks when everyone was home, with 3 hour feedings, it didn't :) (You know what I'm talking about Brittney) Here are some choice peeks at mom and dad getting a bit of shut eye (notice who has more pictures sleeping....) Enjoy!
