YOU'RE HAVING TWINS!!!

What did we do when we heard those words? Well, we were absolutely NOT expecting to hear them, so to say we were shocked is pretty accurate. I almost fell off the sonogram table and the hubby's jaw dropped straight to the floor. Did you say twins? As in two babies? Whah...? Then the tears came; tears of utter and absolute perfect happiness. At that moment we knew we were the two most blessed people on earth. God had given us not one, but two, precious lives to take care of. We couldn't wait to tell our parents and families. That was such a wonderful day. Nothing it seemed could be any better. But the day the babies were born surpassed the joy of that moment with so much more happiness.


It was a cold and rainy Saturday in February when I was wheeled into surgery. I had a c-section at 8:00 in the morning. I was Thirty-five weeks and 5 days pregnant when I delivered; normal pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, so the twins were early. Kensington was born at 8:48 and Camden at 8:49. She weighed 5 pounds and 7 ounces. Camden was smaller at 5 lb, 5 oz. That's almost 11 pounds of baby! Since they were early, they needed to go to the NICU (neo-natal intensive care unit) for specialized care. The babies were fine; they were perfect in fact; But they were early and small so we needed to be sure they were doing okay. The twins stayed in the NICU for weeks. About two for Kensi and three for Camden. We were so glad to get them home. Lets reminisce over some sweet pictures, huh? Oh, and a very special treat is below as well. I found some video clips The Hubby took of the babies when they were two days old! These have never been seen before!

Here I am with my Doctor, two days before a very unexpected delivery. Yeah, my due date was March 28th. (Hey, I know I'm big in this picture. I was preggars!)

Here is Kensington on her birthday.

And here is the sweetest little boy on earth, Camden.

The Hubby and I hold our little miracles. I was extremely swollen and not feeling very good in this picture. But I was so happy to have these babies out of my body!
Here my big brother David and the hubby's sister Jaymee hold the twins.

Here is the Hubby with Camden in the NICU.
And my mother watches over Kensi as she sleeps.
Here my Dad holds Kensi and tries to remember the day when he held me like this.
The twins were in this plastic bed for about one or two days.
After a few days, the babies started gaining weight and we were allowed to hold them. Here is Kensi as what I like to call a baby burrito.


And Camden was very very sleepy.
They got to stay together in this little bed until they came home.
Here we finally get to hold our babies and kiss their faces.

Well, all of that was a year and a half ago. These kids have totally and completely changed every aspect of our lives forever. And changed it for the better. I have never, for one second of my life, ever regretted having these babies. They are without question the best thing that has happened to us. Now, let's see the videos!

This first video is of Kensi. She is two days old, and has the hiccups:

This last video is of Camden. Notice how big the preemie diapers fit these little babies!

I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane!
