The twins came to visit!

Chace and Peyton came over last night to visit and bring us dinner!! It was sure yummy!! It's funny to think that January of this year we were in Colorado snow skiing and now in December we both have little ones!! I think the 4 of us ate our food in about 5 minutes. We now know there is no such thing as a calm leisurely dinner. You have to race to eat before a baby wakes!! :)

Here we are in January!

Of course, the new moms had to take pictures of the kids in matching outfits!! They're so cute!

Here we are in December!!

The babies are 9 weeks apart! Madison still likes the fetal position. :)

Just hanging out

What a tough life!

So sweet

Does it get any sweeter than this?

First Bath

Let's just say we learned a lot from the first bath. It didn't go as we had planned. We had a COLD SCREAMING baby during the entire bath. It was hard to keep her warm when you can only give her a sponge bath at first. John and I have improved greatly the past 2 nights and she is much happier. We've modified bath time which is not near as painful.I had to quickly warp her up and warm her in the hallway because she was so cold and upset! :(

Madison Leigh Stirman has arrived!

Our sweet little girl arrived Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 4:20pm. She weighed 7lbs 14 oz and was 21 inches long. Words can't describe how happy and in love John and I are with her. We both can just stare at her for hours. Below are some pictures taken at the hospital.

Before being induced

Kristi came up to the hospital at 9pm with the twins to wish me luck. What a great friend! She even came back the next day and hung around till Madison arrived.

Hooked up and ready to go

Everyone anxiously waiting to meet Madison

39 week update & pic

Well, this is the final post before the arrival of our little girl! I went to the doctor this afternoon and Madison has dropped even lower which is really good. My stomach went down 3cm since last week. John and I talked with our doctor about inducing and she seemed to think there is no problem with it. She gave us the choice between tonight and Sunday night. John is so eager that he talked me into tonight!! It looks like we will be heading to the hospital at 9 to start the induction process. Madison should arrive sometime tomorrow. I'm so excited and nervous. It all seems so unreal! I can't believe I'll be a mom tomorrow! Check back for a picture of our little girl later this week!

Here is a final pregnancy picture of me!

Yes, it's hard to believe that we are down to 3 weeks! Woohoo!!

It looks like I'm only 1cm dilated so far. Madison is really low and in the head down position still. My doctor did say that after feeling my stomach that she thinks she will be long! :) I'm so excited and can't wait to hold her!!! 21 days to go!
