On 2/20 Friday morning Tim found Michael on all 4's. Then Matthew and Michael both did it at Danielle's house the same day. Soon they will be crawling. Matt is still toothless but we think they are coming very soon. He has been really whiny lately and he will not stop biting everything. Oh yeah before I forget Matt learned how to hold his own bottle. Life is already easier.

Tim and I went out to dinner with the boys on Friday at TGI Friday's. We had a coupon so we ordered what ever we wanted. Well I went up to the bar to get some hot water and I saw an old friend. She was wondering how does twins keep happening. I said "I know back to back twins it is crazy." This man at the bar over heard us talking and he started talking to me. He was very nice. I went back to the table and we were paying our bill and the waitress said "someone at the bar is covering your tab." When we went up to the bar to thank him he had already walked out. How nice was that? Sometimes I will we had a lot of money to do that for someone. Well we really appreciated it, whoever the guy was.

Saturday was Chrissy's birthday party at Fast Eddies and the Hockey game Becky bought tickets for. We went to the came and we were 13 rows from the ice were the blues shoot twice. We lost and both teams played like shit, but we had a really good time. We then headed over to Fast Eddies to see everyone. We had a good time there too. Every time I bring my camera I forget to use it, so I don't have any pictures.

Sunday we didn't do much. I met Jackie, Amy, Angela and Courtney at the city dinner for lunch and then I drove to St. Peters to get a crib from someone in Chrissy' s mommy group. I felt like I was gone all day. I just wanted to relax, I was starting to feel sick.

So that leaves us to today. I called in to work today but I still brought the boys over Danielle's. I really need to rest since I can't take much medicine. Right in the middle of resting, work called they needed something right away, obviously they were slacking on the other end.

Lots to update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who have not heard yet. Tim and I are expecting twins again. We found out at 7 weeks there were two sacs but they could only see one heartbeat. Well I had to go back a week later and they found the second heartbeat. It is OFFICIAL----TWINS again. We have a doctors appointment on Monday so we will find out more. My due date is September 15, 2009 for right now.

Matt is finally rolling over all of the time; he still not as quick as Michael but he will get there. He is also becoming so friendly and laughing an smiling all of the time. He only screams when he is hungry.

Michael has a middle ear infection and he has been on antibiotics since Monday. He was waking up in the middle of the night crying for a few days. Now we know why. They are both doing really good with sleeping and eating. They both weigh over 18 lbs.

Michael is rolling all over the front room. He is reminding me of Chrissy and Jim's triplets. Here is a picture of him along with a video of him crying.

Well it has been so long that I forgot about the night at the races that we went to on the last Saturday in January. It was a lot of fun but this is the second year in a row not that I could not drink. That sucks because it only cost $10 to get in and all you can drink and eat. Oh believe me, Tim took care of the drinking part while I took care of the eating part.

The boys are finally feeling a little better now. They still have a cough but no runny noses. We received some great new on Wednesday our insurance paid for both helmets after they said they were not going to. We are so excited, maybe we can actually get our trees cut down with our income tax money.

Michael has 2 teeth now. We didn't even notice it, it must have broke through right after the first. Danielle is the one that told us. Here is a video of the boys giving me smiles well at least Matt was. I finally charged my battery for my small camera.

Milestones for the boys

Well you all know that Michael has been rolling over and Matt was so content on lying on back and only moving his head. Well he finally did it on Wednesday 1/28/09. Tim and I were playing on the mat with the boys and he rolled over from is back to his stomach. I am so glad he just wants to do everything at his own pace. Michael's first tooth cut through on Saturday 1/24/09. We felt a little point and now you can feel the whole tooth. Both of them are really sick right now again. First the stomach virus and now they are coughing bad and have runny noses.

Monday was my birthday and it was almost as bad as when I had to spend the whole day with the Pope when I was 19. Here's the story if you don't already know it. On my 19th birthday my mom got tickets for us to see the Pope at the youth really. It was supposed to be me, Chrissy, Brian, Kenny and Michael. Well Brian couldn't go so Chrissy's new boyfriend Jim went. (Can you believe that it has been 10 years since they started dating.) I think Jim went to look good in the family. So anyway we had to be at the Northland parking lot by 7 am. We took a bus to the Arch I think we had to walk to the Savvis center. All we heard was church group music like DC Talk or something like that. We finally got back to the parking lot got the car and Jim took Kenny and Michael home first I was so upset I was crying. Oh yeah, not to mention that is was not comfortable in his little Saturn with 3 people in the back. That is not how I wanted to spend my whole entire birthday. Come to find out we could have went the next day to the Mass for 4 hours instead of 16 hours with the youth group kids. My friends surprised me with some presents and a cake in the Handy Man parking lot on Washington.

oh, I will post pictures later. I have some at home on the camera but my work computer will not let me move them around. The boys also had a helmet appt. today, I will update you on that too.
I hate working on my birthday, it sucks. Well this year was just boring. The weather sucked the boys were sick and I was supposed to be resting. Oh yeah and I couldn't have a beer to take the edge off. We are going to celebrate on Saturday at the Night at the Races.

6 month check up

I took the boys for their 6 month well visit and they are doing great. They did not weigh as much as I thought they would but they are still getting fat. Maybe they lost a pound or two when they were sick last week.

Matthew weighed 17lb even (50%) 26 1/4 (50%) and he has a small head he is only in the 25%

Michael weighed 17lb 8oz (50%) 26 3/4 in (60%) and his head is in the 50%.

I took them to get their 6 month pictures on Monday. They turned out so good. Here are some pictures to hold everyone over.

Some pictures of the boys.

JACKIE, here are your pictures that you have been begging me for.

The boys have been sick all week so we haven't taken a lot of pictures, we have been cleaning up throw-up and diarrhea. We gave the kids baths today and we took some new pictures.

UMMMM...... Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim and I found out last Friday that we are expecting another baby. Sometime in mid-September. WOW! that's what we said. So it happened 6 months earlier than we expected. Funny thing is we can pinpoint the exact day. We are really excited. I want a little girl this time. For some reason some of my family members think that I am going to have another set of twins. Thanks for calling that, we will find out on President's Day. I wanted to wait and tell everyone but I couldn't.
