Life with Twins...

It has been just over a year since I went into preterm labor and came very close to loosing my baby boys. It was very scary for both Thor and I. We definitely were not expecting to stay at the hospital last November when we went for a check up with a specialist. This year Thanksgiving was extra special. It seemed like just last year I was crying because I had to eat my Thanksgiving dinner in bed! It was a small price to pay for my babes. Following my surgery to keep them in and my eleven weeks of bed rest we had two wonderful boys. This past year has changed us completely. Through all the diapers and doctor visits our boys have thrived. Now I take such joy in just watching them interact. They have a special connection, which I am sure everyone has heard about "that twin connection". It is true. Just the other day Brock was sitting in my lap and Braden woke up from his nap. he was crying so my mother in law went to get him and she couldn't get him to calm down. So I took him and kept Brock with me as well. Brock simply took Braden's hand and held it. This calmed Braden right down. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. That same night I ran upstairs to go to the bathroom and Brock and Braden crawled into the kitchen, opened the drawer underneath the oven and Braden crawled inside and they were happily playing with cookie sheets and bread pans when I came back downstairs. This happened in a matter of a couple of minutes. I know I am in for double the trouble with those two!! They sit in their highchairs or in the bathtub and laugh at each other. They give each other looks that you know mean that they are plotting something in their little brains. And this is why I started this blog, so I remember all the funny little things they do. Hope you enjoy!
