It has been years!I decided to revive this blog because things have been happening! Our twins are now 7! Not sure how this is possible but it is. We are currently a family of 6! We have adopted a beautiful baby through foster care. We have had her since she was 10 days old out of the NICU and she is 3 now. We are in the process of adopting our 2.5 yr old we have had since 3 days old. We have fostered about 35 children since 2014. Some were just a night and some were 2 plus years. It has been such a crazy life. We are still in Ohio but would love to go back to NH in the next 5 yrs. My life also did a 180 after we fostered a little boy born at 27 weeks. I spent 3 months in the NICU at Nationwide Children's in Columbus, OH with him. Back story....years ago I worked in a labor and delivery unit and was doing my prereqs for nursing school. Had a lot of infertility issues and completely left everything. SO being in the NICU for so long brought back all the dreams I had. So here I am after 7 yrs of being a stay at home mom to 8 months into nursing school and working full time at Nationwide Children's Hospital NICU and pretty much hating life but knowing it will be worth it! I think our foster son being in the NICU put the thought back in my mind and going home to NH this past April accelerated the process. If we want to move back we need a 2 income household to make it work and I realized I need to follow my dream. SO here I am crying and stressing over exams and homework and being a working mom of 4! It will all be worth it but right now it is super hard!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12611066495420184646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917768617560706418.post-26617159298670791122013-12-14T11:04:00.002-08:002013-12-14T11:04:29.171-08:00Long time no see! Wow, I haven't blogged in a looonng time!!! A lot has happened! We moved to a bigger house. We are about 2 weeks away of getting our license to be a foster home! The girls tuned 2! What made me blog today happened at 6:45am. I know I have posted about things we couldn't live without in previous post but this is what I WISH I HAD!!! I woke up to the girls crying. It was Nate's turn to wake up with them and he got up and put them back to bed. I was not happy because I was scared they would fall back to sleep after 7 and then nap time would be a nightmare! Oh yeah, I should back up. We moved the girls to toddler beds a little over a month ago. The first week I literally had to sit outside their bedroom door and go in every few minutes and put them back in their bed! It got better the second week and we had it down pat by the 3rd week. Fast forward to this week...NIGHTMARE! I have no idea how they regressed but one day I actually had to sit in their room for both nap time and bedtime. The days we had major issues I noticed the girls slept in until a little after 8am. I wasn't complaining at the time trust me but I need the break during their nap time! So Thursday I woke the girls up at 7:30. Nap time went a little better. Yesterday they woke up at 7:30 and nap time went much better! All that to bring me to this morning. <br />
I told Nate he needed to wake them up around 7:30. Main reason...He was going to be gone most of the afternoon and I didn't want to fight with them at nap time. I was in and out of sleep until 8 am praying they were not sleeping and just playing quietly. Every time I woke up I wished I had a video monitor instead of just the sound one. This isn't the first or even the 10th time I have wished I had a video monitor! This is my biggest regret and every time I think I should just bite the bullet and get one I talk myself out of it. I always think that at this point it might be a waste because how much longer do they really need a monitor? <br />
I remember when we did our baby registry I glanced at the video monitor but saw the price and thought they were one of those pointless waste of money items. Although, I did consider the angel care monitors because I was paranoid of SIDS. I guess at the time I figure I couldn't see the girls actually breathing on the video monitor so what was the point! BIG MISTAKE!<br />
The first time I wished for it was when the girls were about 5 months. I want to see if the girls were napping and they were such light sleepers opening the door usually woke them up. Then when we moved to Ohio and they had regular am and pm naps. They would laugh hysterically at each other and I wanted to see their shenanigans! Now that they are in toddler beds I have wished for it even more! <br />
So the piont of this super long drawn out post is...if you are expecting, get the video monitor! If you are expecting twins or more..GET THE VIDEO MONITOR!!!!! I still might get it if I can find a deal. This is my one regret!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12611066495420184646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917768617560706418.post-57235671729230737342013-08-23T17:53:00.002-07:002013-08-23T17:53:44.138-07:00Apperantly we LOVE to move!After much conversation and weighing options we have decided to hold off IVF and our working to becoming a foster home. Nate has always had a heart for it since working at a residential home in NH. We have make up classes in October/November and then a home study and then we will be licensed. We realized quickly that our 2 bedroom 1 bath house was not going to work for our plans. So we are looking at moving next month. That makes 3 moves in 3 years at the same time every year:( I really want stability for the girls but this is inevitable. We have found an amazing 3 bedroom 2.5 bath house! So again I pack up our life. I guess the good news is we are only moving 5 miles away instead of 500 miles this time. So here are a few pics of the new house. <br />

I thought that wouldn't be me. They start to discuss the serious possibility of another child. I thought that wouldn't be me since I won big at the 2 for 1 sale. After the discussion it becomes a reality and the planning begins. SOOOO not me! HAHHAHA famous last words. <br />
I have off and on for a little while now had the itch to maybe try IVF again. I would then have a hard day with the girls and that itch would be gone. Then it would come back and the cycle began. The past couple of month the itch has turned into a full blown rash and it is taking Nate along for the ride!<br />
So I started to research IVF clinics here just to test the waters. OMG for a state that is cheaper than NH in every way they failed in one area...FERTILITY! The clinics I called wanted $15,000 PER CYCLE(not including medication)!!!! We paid $7500(not including medication)!!! So I call Dr. Hill's office in NH to see if they knew of any clinics around my area. What I got from that call was hope that we could do this again! Dr. Hill can do it for me and I would just need to come to NH for about 2 weeks and we could fly Nate in for they last big part! Not only can he do it but its now only $6800 and if you do 2 cycles and they are unsuccessful the third one is FREE! So I can do 3 cycles for less than the cost of 1 here! So we are projecting early 2014 to start this all over again. <br />I still fear it not working but now I kind of fear it working a bit to well! I have told Nate to just prepare for another set of twin girls. Or even more hair raising... Triplet girls! What if Aria and Olivia were just an intro into what is coming (insert shutter here)! I have come to the conclusion what ever happens is no mistake. God will decide what we need. So if it is all girls and triplets well he better give me a lot more patients and sleep:) The reason I say 3 is because 3 eggs might be the best since I will be 32. We shall see:) I have a consultation call with Dr. Hill on Monday and I am sure we will discuss that. So I am sure there will be more post to come!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12611066495420184646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917768617560706418.post-63253417548424417042013-06-02T17:38:00.000-07:002013-06-02T17:38:34.042-07:00Must Haves for Us 12-18 monthSo I keeping with the tradition of the must haves that worked for us I thought I should do a 12-18 month post. I have no idea if anyone reads these list or even cares but it is fun to look back on as time flies! So on to the list.<br />
<br />
1. Baby Signing Time or Signing Time DVDs - These are super annoying and the songs get in your head for hours but THEY WORK! Liv can sign so many things I can't keep up and Aria is right behind her. They still don't talk much so this helps A LOT!!!!!<br />
<br />
2. Riding Toys- The girls LOVE anything they can "Drive" or ride!<br />
<br />
4. Books- They love to be read to or just sit on their bean bags and read to themselves<br />
<br />
5. Blocks and Shape Sorters- They get frustrated easily with them but when I sit down and help them they love it.<br />
<br />
6. Hide and Squeak Eggs- These are not something I would have purchased but my mom sent them as a Christmas gift and they LOVE them!!!<br />
<br />
7. Water Table- My friend gave us her water table and it is a huge hit. It also hold an umbrella which is good!<br />
<br />
8. Rash Guard Long Sleeve Swimsuits- Less sunscreen=good!<br />
<br />
I guess that is all I can think of for now<br />

I don't know where it is from or who wrote it but really hit home with my last post!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">
<span class="messageBody"><span class="userContent">To
the mom who's breastfeeding: Way to go! It really is an amazing gift to
give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage! You're a
good mom. <br /> <br /> To the mom who's formula feeding: Isn't science
amazing? To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who
couldn't produce enough would suffer, but now? Better living through
chemistry! You're a good mom. <br /> <br /> To the cloth diapering mom: Fluffy bums are the cutest, and so friendly on the bank account. You're a good mom. <br /><span class="text_exposed_show"> <br />
To the disposable diapering mom: Damn those things hold a lot, and it's
excellent to not worry about leakage and laundry! You're a good mom. <br /> <br />
To the mom who stays home: I can imagine it isn't easy doing what you
do, but to spend those precious years with your babies must be amazing.
You're a good mom. <br /> <br /> To the mom who works: It's wonderful that
you're sticking to your career, you're a positive role model for your
children in so many ways, it's fantastic. You're a good mom. <br /> <br />
To the mom who had to feed her kids from the drive thru all week because
you're too worn out to cook or go grocery shopping: You're feeding your
kids, and hey, I bet they aren't complaining! Sometimes sanity can
indeed be found in a red box with a big yellow M on it. You're a good
mom. <br /> <br /> To the mom who gave her kids a homecooked breakfast lunch
and dinner for the past week: Excellent! Good nutrition is important,
and they're learning to enjoy healthy foods at an early age, a boon for
the rest of their lives. You're a good mom. <br /> <br /> To the mom with
the kids who are sitting quietly and using their manners in the fancy
restaurant: Kudos, it takes a lot to maintain order with children in a
place where they can't run around. You're a good mom. <br /> <br /> To the
mom with the toddler having a meltdown in the cereal aisle: they always
seem to pick the most embarrassing places to lose their minds don't
they? We've all been through it. You're a good mom.<br /> <br /> To the moms who judge other moms for ANY of the above? Glass houses, friend. Glass houses.</span></span></span></h5>

I know I touched on this a while back but it seems to stay with me. I have said this time and again. Pre twin Emily would kick the crap out of Post twin Emily!!!! Reason... not being 100% grateful and loving every minute of being a mom!!! I would have done anything to be a mom and if I had read a blog with a woman that had beautiful twin girls complaining about how hard it is, well I would have had a few choice words for that mom. Fast forward to today! Our life is defiantly not the rainbows and butterflys I thought it would be! There are times I sit back and look at my girls and know how lucky I am . They make me laugh and are sooo cute it hurts. However, there are more times than not they cry all the time, fight with each other and get into more trouble in one second while my back is turned. I get so frustrated and don't know how to get through the day! Then I see the news in the minute I am ready to lose it and see the destruction the tornado in OK caused and how many parents lost their children and feel horribly guilty. Then I read a blog about a fellow infertile struggling with another loss and feel even more guilty! How does one find balance???? Then throw in being married with kids! That is a whole different post! I feel such immense pressure to be the perfect wife, the perfect mother and have the perfect house. Do I let the girls CIO or look into more attachment parenting. Do I freak out when I let the girls eat something not good for them! The list is endless! With so many strong opinions on parenting out there how do I know what to do! I always feel judge by another mom or even strangers. Maybe I put that on myself but I do feel mothers can be the most judgmental!! Myself included! I would also like to say if I have ever said something ignorant and judgmental to anyone before I had kids about parenting I am sorry and now realize how hard it really is! I am more convinced then even as moms working or stay at home it doesn't matter we need to all stick together because this is HARD! I guess I will get off my soap box now. Next time I am tempted to criticize someone else's parenting skills I will reread this and remember we are all doing the best we can and its all a gray area! There isn't one right way to parent and I just need to find what works for us.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12611066495420184646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917768617560706418.post-11733786164839364092013-04-11T18:22:00.002-07:002013-04-11T18:22:47.743-07:00Life's crazy ride for sure!It has been a looong march and part of April! The first thing is, I am kind of working again, in a way. I am defiantly still 100% a stay at home mom but now I am also getting into real estate. I have always LOVED real estate and now I am getting the opportunity to learn about real estate in my new town. I will be hopefully getting my license this summer but for now I am hunting down investment properties and then renting all of the businesses properties. So far I am LOVING it. I never thought I would miss working but I realize I kind of do. I would HATE a regular job. This gives me the flexibility I need. I also have a wonderful sister in law that helps me out when I need do things when Nate isn't home. <br />
The second thing is our trip to Arizona got pushed up unexpectedly. We had a family emergency so we went the last week in March. I will NEVER fly with young kids again! Heading to AZ was not horrible. We had some rough patches and they only slept for like 45 minutes of the 4.5 hour flight. We landed and had to sit on the tarmac for another 45 minutes. Aria LOST it! The time change and new surroundings also proved to be a little challenging for the girls. The best part was meeting their cousins, family and friends that live there. We have a lot of fun memories! The flight home was a nightmare. Aria was a mess and Liv was super squirmy. It took them about 3 days to readjust to east coast time. One night Aria cried off and on for 4 hours! <br />
The third thing is we are now a bottle free house! I finally cut the cord and weaned Aria from night toddler formula feedings. I do give her a sippy cup with water because I do think she gets thirsty. She has been sleeping through the night more often now! <br />
I am really starting to love it in Ohio! The longer I am here the more I know I was meant to be here. Here are some photos of our trip.<br />

The scored a 10. They also failed social as well. So our next step it to have an evaluation done and see what we are really looking at. Since their appointment last week I have been really trying to work with them in developing language. They are not catching on. Although they can usually point to their eyes, ears, nose and mouth now:) <br />
I am also trying to get Aria to not wake up and want a bottle at night. I know this should have been cut awhile ago but I am weak. We also are changing their bedtime from 6:30 (yes it is early but it worked for us) to 7:30. That has been hard even with the time change. <br />
I guess that's it for now...the 3 hour finale of the Bacholor is on!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12611066495420184646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917768617560706418.post-39192656079756521702013-03-08T18:49:00.002-08:002013-04-11T18:25:40.581-07:00Best explanation of motherhood!This lovely story was written by Dale Hanson Bourke. <br />
We are sitting at lunch one day when my daughter casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of "starting a family." "We're taking a survey," she says half-joking. "Do you think I should have a baby?" <br />
<br />
"It will change your life," I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral. <br />
<br />
"I know," she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous vacations." <br />
<br />
But that is not what I meant at all. I look at my daughter, trying to decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes. <br />
<br />
I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child bearing will heal, but becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional wound so raw that she will forever be vulnerable. <br />
<br />
I consider warning her that she will never again read a newspaper without asking, "What if that had been MY child?" That every plane crash, every house fire will haunt her. <br />
<br />
That when she sees pictures of starving children, she will wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die. <br />
<br />
I look at her carefully manicured nails and stylish suit and think that no matter how sophisticated she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the primitive level of a bear protecting her cub. That an urgent call of "Mom!" will cause her to drop a soufflé or her best crystal without a moments hesitation. <br />
<br />
I feel that I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally derailed by motherhood. She might arrange for childcare, but one day she will be going into an important business meeting and she will think of her <br />
baby's sweet smell. She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from running home, just to make sure her baby is all right. <br />
<br />
I want my daughter to know that every day decisions will no longer be routine. That a five year old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather than the women's at McDonald's will become a major dilemma. That right there, in the midst of clattering trays and screaming <br />
children, issues of independence and gender identity will be weighed against the prospect that a child molester may be lurking in that restroom. <br />
<br />
However decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess herself constantly as a mother. <br />
<br />
Looking at my attractive daughter, I want to assure her that eventually she will shed the pounds of pregnancy, but she will never feel the same about herself. <br />
<br />
That her life, now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a child. That she would give herself up in a moment to save her offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years, not to accomplish her own dreams, but to watch her child accomplish theirs. <br />
<br />
I want her to know that a cesarean scar or shiny stretch marks will become badges of honor. <br />
<br />
My daughter's relationship with her husband will change, but not in the way she thinks. <br />
<br />
I wish she could understand how much more you can love a man who is careful to powder the baby or who never hesitates to play with his child. <br />
<br />
I think she should know that she will fall in love with him again for reasons she would now find very unromantic. <br />
<br />
I wish my daughter could sense the bond she will feel with women throughout history who have tried to stop war, prejudice and drunk driving. <br />
<br />
I want to describe to my daughter the exhilaration of seeing your child learn to ride a bike. <br />
<br />
I want to capture for her the belly laugh of a baby who is touching the soft fur of a dog or cat for the first time. <br />
<br />
I want her to taste the joy that is so real it actually hurts. <br />
<br />
My daughter's quizzical look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes. "You'll never regret it," I finally say. Then I reached across the table, squeezed my daughter's hand and offered a silent prayer for her, and for me, and for all the mere mortal women who stumble their way into this most wonderful of callings.

We took the girls to the Y to swim. They LOVED it! We did as well since it was 30 degrees outside and we haven't swam since August! I am so happy that they love water since I am such a water person! I am still wondering how I am going to like Ohio in the summer since it doesn't have a ton of lakes with in a 20 mile radius! We also had a fun girls night with some of my new friends here! It was surreal to see my new friends with my old and was a nice feeling! Anyway, we also went to Polaris which has a cool indoor/outdoor type mall. Plus a Cheesecake Factory! I love cheesecake! I did find the lunch a bit over priced and the spinach cheese dip was very bland for almost 11$. Their cheesecake is sooo worth it though! I had the red velvet and it was amazing. It even topped the red velvet cupcakes from Boston Children's. I don't think I blogged about them last April when Liv was admitted but I should have because they were really good. <br />
She was here from Thursday to Sunday...Far to short for me:( I was sooo excited she was able to come out and see where we live. <br />
Yesterday was the girls 15 month check up....I can't believe they are 15 months already! Aria is a little over 20lbs and Liv is 18. She is now in the 3rd percentile for weight so we are doing well! There has been something bothering me for a while now and they brought it up at our appointment after a few small test. The girls language. They don't seem to be communicating as well as most kids their age. They hardly say mama and dada let alone 5-8 other words. I mentioned it to my mom about a week ago. So our pedi refereed us to a speech therapist. I am not super worried because I know they grasp things and I am sure it will come but I wouldn't mind the help since most days I feel like I have no idea what I am doing in the education sense. I would also love for them to start communication a little better instead of crying all the time. So thats what we are working on now.

I just got over strep! I have had strep once and I was a senior in high school! So far the girls have not gotten it but I am still worried! Between ear infections, the flu and now strep, I feel like we will never get out of this cloud of sickness! Hopefully we will be over the worst of it and spring will soon be here. I wonder if part of the issue is being couped up inside all the time. Having 2 toddlers to get ready just to run to the store is in my opinion a HUGE hassle! So I tend to do any runs to the store when Nate is home. I can't wait until we can play outside or go some where with out all the bundling up! Plus I like to see how long a gallon of gas can last me so I tend not to go anywhere unnecessarily. I had a gallon last me almost 6 weeks! <br />
Anyway, I guess thats all that has been going on. In a week and a half one of my best friends from NH will be here!!!! I am soo excited! Hopefully we are all healthy for the visit!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12611066495420184646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917768617560706418.post-36417279905578861562013-02-11T18:18:00.003-08:002013-02-11T18:18:54.910-08:00A lot going on here!Wow so much has happened and so much more is coming! The first is I decided to watch an 11 month old 5 days a week.....BIG MISTAKE! He screamed all the time so I stop that after a month! Now Nate and I are taking a financial class we are learning a lot and hoping we can live debt free someday.<br />
We are also heading to Arizona in April. 4.5 hours on a plane with twins! Yikes, I am a little scared! <br />
One of my best friends is coming out here at the end of the month and I can't wait!!! The adjustment to a new state hasn't been easy so having her here will be awesome!<br />
On top of all that I decided to learn to sew! I am hoping to get good enough to make the girls dresses and thing! <br />
I guess that is what is happening in our lives right now. The girls are growing so fast! Every day there is something new! They both are quite funny to watch. They are AMAZING! Sorry for the sporadic post;)<br />

I am so happy to have it back!! I
have missed everything about it. So here are some cute videos of my
divas! The first video is Liv. I decided to watch one of the step up movies one morning and apparently Liv thinks she belongs in the movie with her moves. The second video is Aria laughing at Nate. <br />

Unfortunately we were all sick. So I didn't take all the pictures I wanted to. <br />
The girls are now almost fully walking!!!! It's a whole new wobbly world! I am happy for this new stage but also sad...They are getting so big! The "baby" bug is starting to unleash in me. I know it would make sense to wait until the girls are at least 3 incase we get twins again but I have waiting and being patient! So for now we shelf the topic because we know it is best.

I think it is my keyboard so I am just waiting for the part. My husband was nice enough to bring his work laptop home for me this weekend so I could get some stuff done including blogging. I logged onto blogger and have to congratulate a blogger friend.. they just adopted a beautiful baby boy! I am sooo happy for them! <br />
In Aria and Olivia news... We are walking!!!! It is the cutest thing! I will post videos when I get my laptop back. They are so proud of themselves. <br />
I also decide I didn't have enough to deal with and took on a 10 month old 5 days a week! It is actuallly not that much more work. Aria is having a little trouble with it and seems to be very territorial of me when he is here but over all it's going well. <br />
We were all sick over Christmas and new years but as soon as i get my laptop fixed I will post some photos of the holidays.<br />

I can't even imagine what these parents are going through and I hope I never have to. My heart breaks for them.

It went well minus the weight issue. We obviously have gone to a new practice since we now live 15 hours away from our old one. They were not as happy as I was with the fact that Liv is still on the percentile chart for weight. They also feel Aria's weight is a little concerning. Aria weighed in at 18lbs and is, I think in the 15th percentile and Liv weighed in at 16 lbs which puts her in the 1%. So now I need to add as much calories as possible to what they eat. I understand what they are saying but they are just small and I really don't want to add a ton of butter on to everything they eat. I am trying really hard to give them well balanced and healthy meals as much as possible. I have added whole milk and cheese to their eggs and they eat whatever we eat usually for dinner. Lunch is usually a mix of leftovers or grill cheese. Liv eats a lot now and loves everything. Aria is more on the picky side but still eats well. Part of me feels like they are perfect. They eat well and are very active. If it was a struggle to feed them everyday like it use to be for Liv I would totally be on board. I just feel deep down they are fine and I really don't want to load them down with a ton of butter and oil. I guess I need to do more research and figure out what is best for us. Hopefully soon I will post 1st birthday pictures:) It went well and I am glad I did it. I know they will not remember it but I will and for years I always wondered if I would get to throw my child a birthday party. I am sure all infertile's can relate to that.

I was soooo ready for the girls to come at this point. I was soo large and uncomfortable. I can't believe how fast this past year has gone. Time flys and we need to enjoy every moment of it! Happy Thanksgiving!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12611066495420184646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917768617560706418.post-40894311727938453192012-11-18T05:48:00.002-08:002012-11-18T05:48:33.414-08:00Must Have's List 6-12 Months!Well now that we are practically toddlers (insert tear here). It is time for the Aria and Olivia must haves from 6-12 months! I can't believe I am doing this blog now, seem like I just did birth to 6 months!!! TIME FLYS! (insert another tear!). I did find they need surprisingly less. SO what made the list this time??!!<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <b>Toys Toys Toys!!!</b>- Musical, interactive light up toys! My girls also like Tupperware and wooden spoons but throw in a light up musical toy...they run for it! I also found keeping toys in different places was a good idea. They have toys in their room, the living room and some in the dining room. I feel it holds their tiny attention spans better.<br />
2. <b> Food catching bibs</b>- Not the cloth kind...I find those completely useless. The plastic kind. They work AMAZING at restaurants! My girls only like the soft plastic ones not the hard plastic.<br />

3.<b>Grippy Socks</b>- A MUST especially if you have hard wood floors. My girls are not walking yet but they cruise holding on to furniture and we need those grippys!!!!!<br />
<br />
4.<b> Gate With Door</b>- Our friend lent us her baby gate with a swing door! We LOVE it!! I put it between the dining room and kitchen. They girls can stand up holding on to it while I am in the kitchen. I don't like them in the kitchen a lot because who knows what gets on the floor through out the day and they are always underfoot!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. <b>Crock Pot</b>- This isn't so much a baby item but it makes the must have list! I use my crock pot about 4 -6 times a week! I put everything together during the girls morning nap and thats it!!!! Sometimes I make sides around dinner time depending on what I am making but it amazing how easy it is to get dinner done!!! I also don't worry about defrosting or thawing...I throw frozen meat in and have never had a problem. <br />
<br />
6. <b>Good Sippy Cups- </b>We have tried a lot of sippy cups and so far Playtex seems to be winning. The nuby and muchkin ones seem to give the girls a hard time or they just don't get how to use them. They will drink out of them and the water would just pour out of their mouth. I am not sure if the nipple is to big and they can't shut their mouth and swallow in time or what but all I get is a BIG mess. The Playtex seem to just work better for them. <br />

That's all I can think of for now. I am sure like last time their will be a part 2. Hopefully this is helpful for soon to be new moms. Off to throw dinner in the crock pot:)<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12611066495420184646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917768617560706418.post-89418490141406042472012-11-08T18:48:00.001-08:002012-11-08T18:48:42.479-08:00Almost a year!A year ago I was anxiously waiting for the arrival of my 2 little sweet peas. Part of me thought I knew what to expect and part of me knew I had no clue what was about to happen. Every new movement or weird feeling I hoped it was time. They finally came and real life hit. There were MANY ups and downs. Sleepless nights, horrible days and everything crazy in between! These 2 little beings changed not only my life but my soul forever. During this first year there were days I didn't think I could cut it as a mom and there were days I thought I was super mom. OMG the screaming!!!!!!!!!!! They screamed sooo much I thought I was horrible at this. Then the first smiles, then giggles and then full on laughs came. They melted my heart even during the worst of it. Some days I can't even believe I was blessed with these gorgeous girls that made and continue to make me a better person. In this first year I have learned sooo much! Not to judge other moms like I use to. They have taught me patients! I have never had sooo much patients in my life. They have taught me to be selfless when needed. They have made me take a new direction in my life just to make theirs better. I look at myself in a different way, a stronger way. I know I have made mistakes and will make many more but my love and strength for them will never falter! Looking back at this year I KNOW I am a good mom. I know that in the years to come I will grow into a better mom because of them. <br />
Aria Ann,<br />
You are my first born (by 15 minutes). You are my sunshine. Your smile is sooo amazing! You have taught me to stop and dance with you. You love to clap your hands when I sing a silly song. I love your little voice when I get you to sing! I hope you love music like you do right now. I love walking into your room when you wake up for the day. You get so excited to see me. You have taught me patients during some loooong nights. Even now almost a year later you still give me a run for my money at night. I will remind you of this when you get older! Most of the time you are so easy going and limit your diva moments. I love when you laugh at your sister. I can't wait to see the girl and then woman you will become. I promise I will do my absolute best to help you grow into a strong, and confident woman. You will always be my little goat! (we have called her goat since she was 3 weeks old because she would make goat noises all the time)<br />
Olivia Jean,<br />
You, my love, are my DIVA! I never have to guess how you feel about things! You make it known one way or another. You have put me though more worry in the first 5 months than I have ever had in my entire life. You made me a stronger person when I needed stand up to doctors and fight for you. You made my mama bear instinct kick in full force. I knew I would do anything to make you better! You were so small! Now you are a thriving little firecracker that makes me laugh all the time! Your little voice makes me smile! You have turned into my amazing sleeper and eater! You are such an amazing little girl! You laugh is infectious. Even when your melt downs are full of theatrics, I can't help but laugh! I love that you now bully your sister but still follow her around. Hold on to your strong personality no matter what people say! I promise that I will help you stay who you are and become a strong and confident woman. You will always be my little peanut. <br />
You both are have changed my world and I wouldn't change a thing! I love staying home with you and seeing you both grow and become your own person. I can't wait to see what the next year brings. I love you both more than you will ever know. You are my greatest accomplishment and I thank God every day that he has given me the best gift in the world...being your mom!<br />
Well now that I am officially crying and have had this sappy moment I guess I should get to bed.

1. $5 pizza from Little Ceasars (has saved us a few times from cooking!) <br />
2. $1.77 per lb of boneless skinless chicken breast!!!<br />
3. The house across the street from us is in great livable condition for sale for $27,500! <br />
4. Aldi's (love the prices of cheese, milk and spaghetti sauce!)<br />
5. Target is like 5 minutes away (instead of 40-50 minutes!)<br />
6. The street I live on is adorable. Kids playing in the street and 2 cops live 2 houses away(i feel safe)<br />
7. More ROOM! I love living in a house again<br />
8. The people I have met are really nice (not that they weren't nice in NH but it's nice to feel welcomed here)<br />
9. So many parks within walking distance or just a short drive<br />
10. My mail comes right to my door and if I have to ship something they pick it up. I know that might sound weird but if you have young kids I am sure you understand!<br />
<br />
<br />
A few reasons I miss NH....<br />
1. My friends and family (it's nice having family here as well I just wish NH wasn't so far)<br />
2. The lakes....It's not even summer but I miss driving and seeing water<br />
3. The view from our condo...revert back to #2<br />
4. Knowing where everything is and the back roads to where ever<br />
5. Friends and Family I am saying it again. Last night I had a bit of homesickness. I received some exciting news from a good friend and it made me stop and think everyone is moving on with out me. I know that sounds diva like and stupid. I know that people don't just pause their life for me but it just makes me feel how far I am now. I use to being involved with my friends lives and now I sometimes feel like I am on the sidelines and if you know me personally I am not a sideline type of girl. I know my family is prepping their Thanksgiving plans and it makes me sad that we will miss it. Don't even get me started about the girls first birthday. I am sure I will be a crying mess on that day for many reasons. <br />
I guess thats all for now. Can't wait to post Halloween pics of the girls in their costumes:)<br />
