Make Over!

As you can see I have given our blog a little make over!  It took FOREVER but I slowly figured it all out.  I even figured out how to get rid of my pregnancy count down and add a count down to Avery and Addison's first birthday...only 11 more months to go!!!  : )

Here are a few more pictures...

We made everyone wear all this to hold the girls...

JUST KIDDING!!!

Avery and Addison

Our family is complete!  Avery and Addison came into this world on July 29th, 2011. We were able to meet our sweet angels two weeks early because I was SOOO swollen.  My doctor thought it was best for me and the girls. 
Both girls had to stay in the hospital for six days.  It was so hard leaving them but it was for the best.  The girls were monitored 24 hours a day, we were able to come home and get the house ready for them, the NICU nurses taught us how to feed the girls, change their diapers, burp them, etc., and when we finally were able to take the girls home they were already on a schedule.  They eat every three hours and they won't let us forget! : )

One happy daddy!

These girls are definitely loved!

Avery Kate Edwards weighed 4 lbs 14 ozs.
Addison Anne Edwards weighed 5 lbs 9 ozs.

The first time I got to hold Addison...it was the longest two days of my life waiting to hold her!

The first few nights were a little overwhelming but we have slowly gotten the hang of it!  Marcus has been amazing!  The girls are so lucky to have a daddy like him!

Addison pouting...she didn't want us to leave : (

Love them so much

Avery sleeping after she kept us up almost all night!  Little stinker! : )

The girls are doing fabulous!  The doctor is very impressed with their weight gain.  At their two week appointment Addison weighed 6 lbs 9 ozs (gained 1 pound in a week!) and Avery weighed 5 lbs 14 ozs (also gained 1 pound in a week!)  Both girls are such good babies.  They are on a three hour eating schedule...most nights are good...some of course are not.  We are trying to keep them up a bit after each feeding during the day BUT it is really difficult keeping those girls up!!!  We try everything!  We won't give up though... Once we are successful at keeping them up a bit during the day the nights should get easier.
