Please accept my apologies for not posting since announcing we were pregnant with the twins. Things have been a whirlwind of fun since our last post. We closed and completely updated our house in Dave's childhood neighborhood that his parents still live in! (Yes, his Mom so graciously keeps the girls daily while we are at work and of course comes any other time we need assistance.)
We delivered the girls two months early due to Addison having irregular chord flow, but thankfully the girls were strong enough to not need any NICU stay. They stayed at the hospital I delivered at in their Special Care (Level II) nursery. They both stayed in right at 4 weeks. I delivered on 9-20-11 and Addison went home first on 10-18-11 (day before my birthday) and Avery went home two days later 10-20-11. What a birthday to remember!!! Also so thankful my Mom was in town when I delivered too so she was there through everything with me. Her and my dad had come up the weekend before to help out with things around the house, getting ready for the girls, and getting things together that I still needed but was unable to get due to bed rest that I was put on after a hospital stay/night of monitoring on Labor Day weekend. The girls have done great despite being so tiny and early. Addison was 3.2lbs and Avery was 3.6lbs. We were told they would be fraternal but following a DNA test due to the difficulties of being able to tell them apart, they are indeed IDENTICAL! I know I know... did we really have to pay to have a test done, but yes, LOL, we did! They have hit every mile stone on time along with any other full term baby their age. They are such troopers, strong willed fighters. These girls are bound and determined to do things their way and they do! :-) They're so much fun. I am hoping to start posting weekly to better keep up with their milestones, and have something for them to look back at as well. (Cheesy I know!) They are now walking/running and climbing up/into everything! They love anything and everything but their toys, haha. They really aren't talking yet, but will say yea, (sometimes yes), along with a form of 'dat' for that/there, Dada (in mumble and to Dave), and very rarely Mama (in mumble only). We're working on words because the temper tantrums are here in full force! They are still teething too. Addison as of just a few days ago 8 teeth (4 top, 4 bottom) and Avery 7 (4top, 3 bottom). Other than that they are such fun loving, hug and kiss giving, fun girls. They LOVE going O-U-T or going to check the M-A-I-L. Yes we have to spell things out already, haha. Well I will post again before they are 2 I promise. Have a great week! Love, The Padgett 4
