It was completely stressful to do alone and heaven bless the real and professional baby/kid photographers out there. I now know why you are so expensive. We are loving these independent, sassy and lovely little ladies that have come into our family. I can't believe its already been year!!<br />

Life has been busy for us this past month(don't I say that every month though?). Between traveling to Utah for Christmas and getting the flu while there and then traveling back home and celebrating our 3 year old's birthday-along with the rest of life's mumbo jumbo its been hard to get too much time to do anything not related to diapers,cleaning,tantrums and babies. Our ladies are 7 months old (actually almost 8 now) and we now have a crazy,wonderful,stubborn,loving,hilarious and imaginative 3 year old running around.<br />
<div>
We love this boy of ours and he is the best big brother to the twins. He is always telling me to get them a bottle when they cry or to change their diaper. He loves to go into their room to greet them in their cribs in the morning and covers them in slobbery kisses.is He is taking his older brother duties pretty serious already. Pretty happy about that.</div>
<div>
On top of that he has become such a great helper and has turned into quite the conversationist. He'll tell me to make cookies and to come down stairs to play trains with him.</div>
<div>
These kids of ours have brightened our lives in every way.<br />
<br />

These girls of mine get more fun every month. When we found out we were having 2 girls we were a little disappointed. Our hopes had actually been set on a boy and girl. A brother for Ascher and one little lady we could spoil with frills and bows. I am not an overly girly person as most of you who know me can agree with. I am more of the slightly athletic, <i>try</i> to be cute and trendy type person. While I do enjoy getting dressed up and wearing lipstick and having my hair done-I am not a natural at it. I do the basics to get by. Which has served me well most of my life. But being responsible for dressing and managing two little misses in our house (along with that lovely girl drama) was and still is pretty overwhelming to me.<br />
But these two make it so fun to try.<br />
They are squeaky and happy and are constantly on the go. They are full of gummy smiles and tolerate me fussing with them for a few minutes everyday. A question we get asked a lot (other then "oh,twins?" ) is how their personalities are. If we can tell what they'll each be like.<br />
The answer is:No.<br />
We cannot tell. Eveytime we think we might catch an idea of what they each might be like they switch is up on us. So these are just some facts of how they are right now, this second, while I type this.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Piper</span><br />
Weight 15 lbs 9 oz<br />
Height 25.2 in<br />
Head 42 cm<br />
*Had her first cold,fever,throwing-up,diaper rash and ER visit (I tend to be slightly paranoid)<br />
*Has SO much hair and I never know what to do with it. I tried the traditional alien pigtails.... hilarious. Hopefully one day she'll forgive me.<br />
* Super smiley and very chatty<br />
*Can roll tummy to back and is SO close on back to tummy.<br />
* Loves the rice cereal and sweet potato's we have added to their diet<br />
*no teeth yet<br />
* decent sleeper (this is a major thing they take turns at)<br />
*Enjoys being tossed in the air and held upside down and just all over tickled. This girl squeals like a banshee.<br />
*still sucks her thumb<br />
*Back scoots with her legs. Its as funny as it sounds.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sage</span><br />
Weight 16 lbs 2 oz<br />
Height 25.2 in<br />
Head 42 cm<br />
*had her first cold ,fever and diaper rash. Along with an ER visit<br />
*Super happy and cheerful.<br />
*loves to the make the noise "da-da-da" Matt thinks we should count it as her first word.<br />
* Can roll tummy to back and is working on back to tummy pretty hard<br />
*Enjoys rice cereal and sweet potato's<br />
*No teeth yet<br />
* Is our knee slapper. Her little hands are always moving and patting her legs and touching her toes. She is active and love to constantly test out her new skills.<br />
*still sucks her thumb<br />
*ALWAYS has a smile for her dad. Even through her tears.<br />
<br />
Their noise and chatter fill our home and Ascher has found some pretty unique ways to play with them. Who says you can't play with a baby right?He lets me know when they are crying and loves to go in their room with me to get them out of their cribs. I think he is impatiently waiting for them to get older. I on the other hand would just like to sleep for about a week.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These little ladies of ours are 5 months old yesterday!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They keep me on my toes and make my life 2x as busy but 2x more wonderful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They have begun to "talk" to each other and I adore watching them converse. It's usually before and after their nap times which I think is the sweetest. It's like a constant sleepever for those two. Fall asleep talking to your best friend-wake up and talk some more. And no matter how far apart I place them in their crib they always manage to basically sleep on top of each other. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And now for some facts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Piper</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1)still our slightly more chill baby</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2)loves to suck her thumb.as soon as she is done eating she immediately throws that little thumb in her mouth </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) almost rolling over-so close</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4) has a mop of wavy hair that I can't seem to control.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5) loves her brother Ascher man as well as Daddy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6) weighs in at 14.2 and is 24 inches long</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7) can hold her own bottle pretty well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8)still fits in 0-3 month clothes but slowly moving up to 3-6</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sage</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) seems to have Stranger Danger fever lately and hates being out if the house</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) also a little thumb sucker </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3)adores her Daddy. Might have a Daddy's girl on our hands</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4)really close to rolling over-she has done it once already.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5) weighs in at 14.13 and is also 24 inches long</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6) also still fits in 0-3 but is moving up to 3-6</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7)enjoys bath time</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ascher man struggles to share Mommy some days but overall loves them. He is always saying "hi Piper"-which we have decided in his mind is both of them. Doesn't matter how much we correct him-they are both Piper. He also likes to point out when they are smiling at him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He is becoming such a big help to me and will go get things for me or throw diapers away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now if I could only get him potty trained....</span></div>

We are a busy household most days over here. I rely heavily on naps and TV shows to get me through the day.(for me as much as for them) People like to ask me how life is with twins.Or when I venture out and hit the grocery store with all 3 kids(yes, I have tired that a handful of times and ALWAYS regret it) I get some sympathetic looks and comments. Usually addressing my tired appearance-guessing at the lack of sleep I get each night.<br />
Well folks, I actually have been getting a full nights sleep over here as of late. But see this adorable little toddler? He would be the main reason for my tired,vacant expressions. To say he keeps me on my toes would be an understatement. He is always busy and his little creative mind is always working. I laugh hard and scold hard with this little guy. He is hilariously full of lots of attitude and independence as well as creativity and sweetness. Everyday brings new challenges with him and he tries my patience but I could not love him more. He is all boy. He is quick to tell me he is sorry and loves to shower his family with hugs and kisses. He enjoys reading and learning and is hardcore about his love for trains. He loves riding 4 wheeler s and things that go fast.<br />
He has grown up so much and I constantly wonder where my baby boy went. Here is to more crazy adventures with this guy.<br />

Where is the time going? I swear I was just in the hospital having them. Although, I still feel that way about Ascher and he is almost 3. Piper and Sage are growing like weeds-and by that I mean fat weeds. I love my chunky babies so much! While I am not at a loss for new challenges just about everyday between keeping these two ladies happy and kickin' as well as keeping my <strike>crazy </strike> busy toddler entertained I can't complain too much. We recently took a trip back to Utah to visit friends and family and they decided to throw me a delightful treat of sleeping through the night once we got there. I think they are voting that our family ends back up there. Message received young ones.With each month they are starting to look more different and develop little signs of a personality.I love seeing the changes they each make and the milestones.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6 fun facts about my ladies</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1)Love,Love to eat-if it wasn't obvious by their jelly rolls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2)Smiling fools-especially with their Daddy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3)They both prefer to sleep on their bellies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4)They each have a slight red tint in their hair(although the roots are looking blonde) and blue eyes(which I do think they will keep)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5)they have found their voices and love to "talk" to us<br />
6) Both have whats called a Stork Bite on the back of their necks which is similar to a birth mark. I adore that they both have this because regardless of how different they may end up looking and being they will always have that in common.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Piper</span><br />
1) Is my little diddo. She looks just like I did as a baby. Even down to her little scowl and cocked eyebrows<br />
2)Still has her Angel's Kiss on her left eye from when she was born but it is starting to fade<br />
3)Is my slightly more contented baby. She is generally a little more laid back then her counter-part Sage<br />
4)Has hound dog cheeks<br />
5) Easy to smile<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sage</span><br />
1) Has chip-monk cheeks<br />
2) Is my little chatty baby. She LOVES being talked to and its easy to get her going.<br />
3)Is harder to coax a smile out of. Except for her Daddy, she loves him. As he likes to put it-"she must know I hold the money"<br />
4) Is a little more demanding then Piper in terms of what she wants and when. But even when she is crying she tries so hard to smile and still be happy.<br />
5)Has a set of full baby lips<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have hit the 7 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
week mark and I can't believe I have actually survived it with most of my sanity still intact. We've had lots of family visitors and have had fun showing of our girls and playing around with all the Grandmas and Grandpas. I would not have made it these first few weeks with out the help of my mom and mother in law. It's no understatement or exaggeration to say they saved me. I could not have made it without them helping Us. I think Ascher loved having them around even more then I did. Sleepovers every night and one on one attention everyday. I know he misses that. And well, I miss the sleeping part. </div>

these moments were perfectly captured by my sister -in -law <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.kelsiemonsendesign.com/" target="_blank"><i>Kelsie</i></a> </span>when she came to pay us a visit down in AZ! Toddler A loves his sisters,cars and not posing for the camera so this was perfectly him!! Can't wait to blow some up and frame it in our house. I also can't wait to see these kiddos grow together. Fingers crossed that they will all be best buds. I think Ascher is impatiently waiting for them to grow up so he doesn't have to play with just boring old Mom anymore. Words cannot express how much my heart has grown with each of my children .i go to bed each night deeply thankful that these sweet spirits are ours forever.</div>

Actually I have learned more then one thing. Like; 2 crying babies is much harder to listen to then one. You can actually survive on even more little sleep then you thought.But impatience is the sleep deprived's ugly friend.Changing 3 little people's diapers will put a fire under you to at least get the oldest one potty trained! You need to be creative and very very patient. But the main thing I have learned after adding 2 more to our house, is that there is a lot of guilt as a parent. And there is <i>nothing </i>you can do about it. Other then maybe accepting and embracing it.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Two arms are not enough with more then two children. Not even close.Someone always wants to be held, or kissed or snuggled. And being the mom I want to be that person for them every time.(just not at 3 am. Am I right?)<br />
Tears have been shed by more then just my children in this house as I struggle to find the balance between my twinners and my<strike> mama's boy</strike> independent 2 year old.<br />
Some days are glorious. We all some how manage to get enough sleep,make it outside the house other then just retrieving the mail, no one has an accident and dinner is some how produced and waiting to be eaten on the table.<br />
But right now, those days are few in number. But I also count my blessings on even the hard days. Because I have , once again, incredibly chill and calm babies. Seriously. I don't know where they come from. They are pretty undemanding and are content to just sleep all day (and a good portion) at night or just will lay there not making a peep while I try to get things done or just spend 30 min with Toddler A. Even when they do cry, its small wail just to let me know that<br />
"Hey ,we are hungry over here"<br />
Lucky stars are being counted on a daily basis.<br />

Our little ladies were born June 6th 2013 (<i>yes the date stamp on the photos is incorrect</i>)<br>
At 5:02pm Piper Janet was born 6 lb 10 ounces ,20 inches long followed 11 min later by her sister at<br>
5:13 pm.Sage Cynthia was born at 6 lbs 14 ounces,20 inches long<br>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Both are named after their Grandmas)</span></i><br>
We are loving our little ladies and Ascher is already such a great big brother! He loves to look at them and tell us where their eyes and ears are. He also likes to tell us there are just "SO many babies"<br>

I am over the huge belly, the 55 lb weight gain and the never ending pelvis pain. Oh and did I mention the swollen feet, gas and constant pee breaks?(TMI) Ug....<br />
Oh, and of course I am excited to meet my sweet, little, <strike>stubborn</strike> ladies.<br />
Clothes have been washed in their special baby detergent and hung and folded up in their room. Our crib is officially a crib again and no longer a toddler bed. Pink and purple is spilling out of their closets and there are tiny diapers waiting patiently on the shelves. Is it me or do NB diapers get smaller and cuter every time I look at them? Thursday can't come soon enough. Although we still don't have names picked out for them. They might just have to stay Baby A and Baby B for awhile. Ever tried naming twins? Its harder then you would think.Especially since we are not of the trend of the matchy-match names. Like Kate and Katlyn.(sorry if those are your twin names of choice)Of course I have my hold-ups and a major part of me is still so nervous to take on this task of not just 1 baby but 2. Good thing we have enlisted the free help of my dear mother and mother-in- law!<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Toddler A is our only child for just a few days longer and I am trying to soak it all in. I think he will adapt well and I am so excited to see him as a big brother. He is just so naturally happy and easy going. Plus he is just enjoying all this extra 1 x1 time he is getting from his Nana this past week. Or as he likes to call her "Hana".</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Our tiny family of 3 will be taking a large leap and will shortly be a gang of 5!The next time I post via the blog hopefully I'll have a picture over-load to share of our newest family members. </span><br />

I am pretty pumped about that although I found out today at my OB appointment that both girls are <i>almost</i> weighing in 6 lbs each.<br />
<div>
5 15 and 5 10 to be accurate. While I am thrilled that they are both looking like they will be a healthy weight when they are born... I can tell you my body and my emotions are quite done with this pregnancy. </div>
<div>
Baby A is head down which is great news for me! That means they can induce me at 38 weeks!!</div>
<div>
You have no idea how much I wanted to smother my OB with kisses when she told me that. Carrying that much baby around is hard. Not a fan.</div>
<div>
So unless these girls decide to come on their own earlier then that I'll hopefully be pushing them out the first week of June. </div>
<div>
Light at the end of this VERY LARGE tunnel.</div>
<div>
Being pregnant with twins has been such an experience. I have been much more emotional this pregnancy and tend to get very frustrated at the lack of things I can't seem manage to do for myself these days. Even taking my coveted baths have become too much of a chore.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On an adorable and happy mommy note Ascher loves to talk about his baby sisters and point to my stomach or give my stomach pats or kisses and say "hello babies". I melt every time. I know he doesn't actually get it, but I love it anyways.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Happy Mother's Day to my very own! You are the best example of what a Mother should be. I am in awe of you and your ability to have raised 5 children everyday. I can barley manage my 1 with another 2 headed my way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And Happy Mother's Day to the other mother in my life. My sweet mother-in law. Thank you both for all your hard-work and sacrifice. You make it all look so easy when in reality I know its not. I have come to find out that being The Mom is not all about playing with your kids and making meals. Its SO ,SO much more then that. I am forever blessed to be a mom to my happy and independent boy and am <strike>terrified </strike>excited to become a mom to two more little people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's to all the fellow moms out there in need of naps,breaks,pampering, a shower or even just a hug (from another adult) </div>

This boy of mine is growing too fast for me. Everyday he has new things to say and do. He is getting so big and is really a toddler way more then my little baby boy these days. (although if you look at those cheeks of his, it could trick you) He is OBSESSED with trains, cars and the like. Best way to describe him? All boy!!<br />
I am not going to lie I am going to miss it just being him and I everyday. Palling around and doing what we please. He is pretty rad and keeps me laughing and entertained all day long. My favorite part about him is the fact that he is such a little sweet heart and love by nature. He is always wanting hugs and kisses. Oh and I did I mention he is an awesome napper and sleeper still? That's right! We even moved him to a big boy bed (a full sized bed) and I was petrified that I would lose my napper and have an awful time getting him to stay in his bed at night. My fears were put to "sleep" the first night. He adapted and made the change in a night. No issues.Pretty amazing right?<br />
I am trying to get as much one-on-one time with my buddy before that all disappears and he'll have to share time and attention with two other little people. I really lucked out with my first born. He was a great baby and is now a wonderful toddler.(minus the tantrum days of course)<br />
Love you A-Man!!SassAFrasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01837588272201602241noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523077056682078147.post-59852659457672008382013-04-18T09:18:00.001-06:002013-04-18T12:14:28.616-06:00Having a "litter" is hard work<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This pregnancy has been different in every way. Probably due to the fact that I am having twins AND I just so happen to have a very busy toddler to keep track of. We spend many a days watching way too much PBS (hey at least its some what educational) so that I can just lay on the couch and catch a couple ZZZ's. I have reached that heavily uncomfortable stage where I only sleep a few hours a night at best. You can typically find me eating or sleeping. Sad right? I am not a good example of a pregnant lady. I don't dress cute everyday(actually you are lucky to catch me dressed with makeup on) , I don't go for walks on a daily basis and I really don't even drink as much water as I should. Despite all that, the ladies seem to be doing very well in my freakishly long torso. Its almost like my body was made to have twins. We went to my monthly ultrasound appointment yesterday and both the girls are weighing in at 4 lb each. Thats 8 lbs of baby at 31 weeks. (uggg) Pretty sure this was what I looked like and my weight when I had Toddler A.While I am thrilled they are doing awesome... I still have at LEAST 5 weeks left. Could we say 12 lb of baby in this belly!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have begun my pathetically sad version of nesting and I think I am starting to feel slightly more comfortable with getting these ladies here. Although I am sure after a week I will wish I was still carrying them inside my big old belly. I am not immune to the fact that they are going to be ALOT of work. If I thought 1 newborn was hard.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That said, I do feel very blessed and excited to welcome 2 new little spirits and personalities into our home.</div>

Easter weekend Mr. LB's brother and his family came down to visit us.(We are the luckiest)<br />
We enjoyed the beautiful weather and a house full of family. Toddler A was in heaven of course. He LOVES his cousins and playing with the "big kids" <br />
Since Toddler A was born we have been able to spend every Easter with my brother-in laws family-hopefully we can keep this tradition going. If we hadn't had them here visiting I think Toddler A would have had a much different,less exciting Easter experience.<br />
Toddler A loved the Easter egg hunt and got pretty into it by the end.<br />
Loved seeing those chubby little legs running around and shouting "Egg! Egg!" every time he spotted one.<br />
He was even more excited when he realized that there was either a prize or candy inside those eggs.<br />
<br />
Easter is such a beautiful holiday and a great day to remember its actual significance to my Savior. I love being able to slow down and focus on his sacrifices that he made for me. Hopefully all our friends and family also had a wonderful Easter holiday.<br />

For my mom's Spring Break this year her and my pops decided to fly out to AZ to see us (who are we kidding-they really came to see Toddler A)<br />
Toddler A is so lucky to have grandparents who love to visit him. It doesn't hurt that we also live in yet another sunshine state where my parents can escape the cold and snow of IL. (just an extra bonus for our guests)<br />
We loved having them here. Toddler A LOVES all the attention and having constant playmates. Plus it helps this hugely pregnant mama out. We hit up the <a href="http://www.desertmuseum.org/" target="_blank">Sonora Desert Museum</a> which was great fun-but LOTS of walking. Pretty sure I was pathetic and had to keep taking breaks. We took them to one of our favorite places here-The Zoo. And we took them to our new favorite Mexican restaurant that we found.<br />
Because you can't come this close to the border and not have authentic,yummy Mexican.<br />
So glad they could come visit us! Come again you two.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
A few weeks back we had the pleasure of having one my best friends come down to visit us. Which worked out great because her husband was down here in Tucson doing a medical internship(ironically at the same hospital Toddler A was hospitalized at) We had a great time and if possible I think our children had an EVEN BETTER time together. Watching these two play together and become almost instant friends melted my heart and made me so happy. Usually Toddler A only seems to care for older kids and tries to hang around them but I can say this lady was probably his first true bestie friend. They would laugh and run around together screaming. Every morning they were here Toddler A would wake up asking for her. Even now he'll pretend to get on the phone and call her or just ask for her.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
They even made their bestie friendship official with their first kiss(for both of them) If that's not awesome I don't know what is. Just so glad we caught it on camera-even a camera phone.</div>

<i>Mamarazzi caught this first kiss action</i></div>

<span style="clear: right; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">To say that these past 5 weeks have been less then stressful would be an understatement. Towards the end of January our little Toddler A started to get some pretty high fevers for days in a row along with a spreading rash,swelling,vomiting as well as becoming lethargic and dehydrated . 5/6 frustrating ER visits later he was diagnosed with <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001984/" target="_blank">Kawasaki Disease</a> and <a href="http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1169489-overview" target="_blank">Aseptic Meningitis</a>.We spent about a 1 1/2 weeks in the ICU trying to get our little guy better with doctors,specialists and nurses working hard on his case. In total we spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. During that period of time and since we have felt the outpouring of love, prayers and blessings that have been on our families behalf. Especially Toddler A's. His recovery was not overnight nor was it easy for him. He went through a lot of pain and A LOT of testing to help determine his condition which in itself is even more rare then general Kawasaki(which is still not 100%). He has gone through more then I think I have my entire life. Toddler A is so blessed to have 2 Grandma's who love him so much that they both made the trip out to AZ to help us and to be near him during this trial. I could never thank them enough. They were a great comfort to Mr. LB and I. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="clear: right; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">During those late nights and hospital stays I felt such a humbling in my life. Realizing how little control I have over my life or my children's. I had to battle to stay positive some days and had to hold back completely falling apart some moments. I would have given anything to take away my child's pain and suffering in all those moments and I kept feeling like I was just catching a glimpse of what our Savior and Heavenly Father must feel for each of us. It angered me that my little 2 year old would have to deal with such a large trial so early in his life but kept thinking that maybe this trial was more for his parents then for him.In spite of it all I could not help but also notice the very many blessings and miracles that were going on around us. Including being in the military. Originally we thought we were guided to the Air Force for Mr. LB so that he could extend his education,we realized that was not the only reason. If we hadn't been in the military with our type of insurance we would have been greatly stressing about the cost of Toddler A's care along with him. Which is not how it should be. I would have hated to have to think about cost in the back of my mind while worrying about my son.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since our original hospital stay Toddler A has had a couple flare ups and several follow up visits with specialist (that will not be ending anytime in the near future) His and our trial is yet to be over but I am so full of love and appreciation for all of the people that have come into our lives through this experience. I am so glad to have my happy,energetic 2 year old back-even with tantrums! I cannot describe the feeling I have to see him playing with his toys or walking faster and faster everyday(he couldn't walk for about a week after it happened)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are savoring the sweet moments with our little man, while its just him and us. We are excited to for our girls to join our family but are content to just enjoy our little family for now.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks back we found out what our surprise twins were! Yep, another surprise! We are still still trying to wrap our minds around welcoming 2 little ladies into our house of trucks,dirt,trains and rocks. As Mr. LB pointed out that is 2 proms, 2 weddings etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The idea of babies being in mommies tummy is still a little too much for Toddler A to grasp but he does like to point to my very large stomach and say"babies". I am currently 23 weeks along and feeling larger everyday. This pregnancy has been 100% different then my first.Good with the bad. I can't deny the hardest part for me is seeing how large I already am and know its only going to get <strike>worse </strike>better. As some friends like to point out, its a good thing I was blessed with an extra long torso to carry these two,otherwise this pregnancy would be that much harder. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Onto the fun part:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trying to figure out names and searching the girls sections at department stores.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This life is turning out to be quite the adventure.</div>

Things have been crazy and a little stressful over at our house as of late. But everyday and every minute I am so grateful I chose this man to share this life with. He is my rock and keeps me "normal" I don't know what I would have done without him these past 3 weeks. Glad I snatched him up! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love you Mr. LB. Happy Valentines Day!</div>

My sweet baby boy turned 2 last week! I can't believe it. Has it really been 2 years since he was placed into my arms and I inhaled his sweet newborn smell? He has grown from my cuddly little baby to my cuddly,rad 2 year old. Seriously, this kid is the coolest. Mr LB and I laugh everyday at this crazy ones antics and the things he gets in to. Yes, some days I want to pull out my hair when I find my hair brush in the toliet and my clothes pulled out of all my drawers. Or when he runs the other way when I tell him its time to change his poopy diaper.But my heart melts everytime he flashes me a grin or reaches up his arms and asks for a hug and a kiss. <br />
K , I better stop. The tears are already starting to swell.<br />
We kept it simple this year since we have no family or friends here in Tucson yet. So I spent the day with my guy and took him to the <a href="http://www.childrensmuseumtucson.org/" target="_blank">Tucson Childrens Museum</a>. It was perfect. We went a little later in the day(you know this pregnant lady needed a nap first) so it was pretty empty and Toddler A was able to play in each room to his heart's content without having to share anything. You could only guess that we were in their train room for the longest amount of time.<br />
He loved saying "All aboard!" and "Choo-choo!"<br />
When we got home Mr LB had gotten home from work and had decided that Ascher needed some fish for his birthday. So we came home to a fish tank and a red beta that unfortunatly still has no name. I secretly think Mr LB bought it more for him then for Ascher. That man loves fish.<br />
Toddler A was spoiled by all our family and friends with all their sweet and thoughtful gifts. I think Toddler A is finally getting the idea of what "presents" means so he was pretty excited everytime he got to open another one.<br />
We finished off the night with some ice-cream cake that I believe A found delicious but a little too cold on his hands.<br />
Happy Birthday little man! Mom and Dad love you a ridiculous amount and can't wait to see you as a big brother.<br />

I mean its actually called <a href="http://oldtucson.com/" target="_blank">The New Old Tucson</a> because there was a fire back in the 90's that burned a bunch of the original buildings down. This is what I love about living in all these new places. All the exporing and finding out interesting things about the area. Tucson has been no exception. Who knew we had a cool movie set so close to us? The day we chose to go ended up actually being pretty chilly(like 40 degrees)We "bundled" up and hit the town. Riding on a train (Toddler A's passion),drove cars (another passion of A's),rode some plastic horses,were part of their "hit" comedy/ action show,rode in a stage coach and well just did some general exploring till my feet were too swollen in my chucks to do anymore. Plus you know this prego gets winded quickly.<br />

Goodness would you look at that face on Christmas Eve! You would have thought that we had told him that he was only getting Cole for Christmas and that he had understood what that actually meant. I think its a pretty safe that this little guy is hitting his "terrible two's". That aside, we had a great Christmas! We celebrated as our own <em>little</em> family this year(and our last). I <em>loved</em> it! We of course missed all of our family and the craziness of Christmas morning with them but it was fun to the be the one making goodies , our own traditions and Christmas Eve dinner(in which I kept with my mothers tradition and went Mexican style). Plus I will not push aside the fact that while most people with kids were waking up at 6 am, we didn't wake up till 8am!<br />
Toddler A currently has a thing for trains and I unintentionally themed most of his Christmas presents around that. Whoops> He was a happy about it though so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad. The holidays are just so much more enjoyable when you have Little's to spoil. I have to admit I was more excited for Toddler A to come down those stairs and see what Santa had brought him rather then anything under that tree marked with my name.<br />

I am anxious for our next few years of youngster Christmases.

You know like-<br />
"We're engaged"<br />
"Graduated college"<br />
"We've moved"<br />
"I lost 50 lbs"<br />
you know that sort of typical stuff.<br />
Well in honor of that tradition and to jump on this announcement wagon with the rest of the smiling happy people we also have one.<br />
Though I am sure at this point in my post you have already guessed or even scrolled down to avoid reading this.<br />
<br />
That's fair.<br />
<br />
We are once again....... PREGNANT!<br />
<pause affect="affect" of="of"></pause><br />
I mean <u>REALLY </u>pregnant.<br />
As in I am growing not just 1 life in my uterus but 2.<br />
<br />
The Lord has decided that he loves to send us lots of surprises. He doesn't like us to feel too over-prepared or something.<br />
Now I KNOW he has a sense of humor.<br />
Other then feeling completely over-whelmed with, well, everything. And being extremely sick with morning sickness and fatigue. We are excited for this new adventure and increasing our family size by <span style="font-size: large;">2. </span>Making us a solid <span style="font-size: large;">5</span>.<br />
<i>A number where our children will officially outnumber us.We'll have a car packed full of car-seats and we'll have a home over-run with toys,clothes,diapers and laundry. If you don't see me for about 2 years,send in a search party.</i><br />
