Come Gracious Spirit, Heavenly Dove,
With light and comfort from above.
Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide,
Stay close by every child's side. Amen!

WOW!
About this time last year - I was being prepped for the C-section. I was visiting with friends and family before the twins were born.
We had their birthday party last weekend and had a nice time. The weather was really crummy but we still had 50+ people here to enjoy the celebration.
For their birthday, I had a vision and wanted this "perfect cake" - of course when I went and picked it up, it was wrong. It looked okay but it was not the one that I had envisioned.
So last night and today, I lost my mind - I decided to make the babies their real birthday cake - from scratch! Not just a cake or cupcakes - but cute little made from scratch cake inside ice cream cones. They were cooking and they began to overflow in the oven. Finally they were finished and they tasted a bit 'off". Then I cooked the remaining batter in a regular cake pan and it too spilled everywhere! Robert and I decided that this year's cakes were just jinxed. We tasted the done part (that had splashed in the oven) and it tasted - off
He decided that I should make another and this time he would help me watch the twins. He began to help me analyze where the mistake was made. Well obviously I was not paying too much attention. I used baking soda instead of baking powder! HUGE DIFFERENCE!
The cake stayed in the pan! We have not tasted it yet, so only time will tell.

WOW!
A year has flown by!! Today we are celebrating Kole and Kensley's birthday.
We are going with a Thing 1 & Thing 2 theme.
I will update the blog with information from their "wet" party. The weather has been beautiful over spring break, but today we are facing 70% chance of storms.
I am fearful that I may cry while singing happy birthday - my only saving grace is that their REAL
birthday is not for 8 days.
But wow, time has flown!

From Saturday - Time is off!
Yesterday I went to the hospital around 2:00. My contractions were about 8-10 minutes apart. By the time I got hooked up and they were about 3 minutes apart. They checked me and I was a two and they could not feel Baby A's head - so they knew that the C-Section would be required.Anyway my Dr called and said that the babies would arrive in less than 2 hours! So at 4:40 & 4:42 -Kole - weighed 5 pounds 4 ounces and was 17 inches and doing fabulous!Kensley - weighed 4 pounds 6 ounces and was 16 inches - she is in the NICU.She had a huge knot in her cord and she had way too much fluid. Poor Kole was cramped!She is breathing too quickly so she is under a little tent with some oxygen and an IV.She basically quit growing shortly after our last US - 3 weeks ago.I have not gotten to go to the NICU, yet but should get to in about 30 minutes.Kole is nursing like a CHAMP! And I am pumping for Kensley!They look great!They were glad that they decided to make an early arrival due to Kensley's little issues!

Not so good...best made plans...
Okay so I have been joking and telling people that I would be having the babies today! Even going as far as to say that I should have to go to the hospital around 10.
Well I am not sure....I don't feel good - you know - morning sickness - FROM THE DEAD OF SLEEP - at 35 weeks makes you feel awful!!!
35 weeks - did you read! I made it to 35 weeks! Both of the babies should be close to 5 1/2 pounds.
Coolest thing - after vomiting, of course, - is that both of the babies had the hiccups this morning at the same time! Of course they were alternating! It was really neat!
I know when we were in the hospital they both had them and it was neat listening to them on the monitors!
Emily has Brownie Camp today and is really excited about going!
Robert and I are going to the twin garage sale this morning!
