Laying on the ultrasound table with my husband, Brian, next to me, I thought of how cute our little "bean" would be and wondered if it was a boy or girl. As my doctor scanned around, I heard her say, "wait a minute..." Now, as you are laying there waiting for your...

It's been 11 months and I'm still breast feeding my twins. They are finally eating solids 3 times a day. But they still love to nurse. I'm still pumping breast milk once a day, before I go to bed at night. It keeps my milk supply steady, reduces discomfort through the...

My two little crawlers are fast asleep as my husband and I pack to leave for our camping trip to Oakridge, Oregon. We'll be attending Mountain Bike Oregon, a 3 day guided mountain biking adventure. This year my husband will be one of the guides, mountain biking all three days. I...

Suddenly sticks, rocks, and several water balloons came flying full speed from the bluffs, bursting open as they hit the ground around us. I immediately came to a stop, freaking out, yelling at the top of my lungs, "Stop! There are babies!" The group of teens who were...

Two naked babies. Brodie crawl-rolling under the crib. Lucas crawling down the hall. I pick one up and put him down. By the time I pick the other one up and put him down, the other one has crawled or crawl-rolled away. I keep repeating, pick up, sit down, pick up, sit down. I...

Who would know that just over an hour ago, Brodie and Lucas were both napping, the house was quiet and calm, while I cleaned the kitchen. Then Lucas woke up. I nursed him and just as I set him down on the floor to play, Brodie woke up. I started to change Brodie's diaper, when I...

Brodie and I went for blood work Tuesday morning. His iron level was improved to 5.5. Normal is 11. He is still severe, but improved. His 2nd stool sample came back + for blood. Now he has been referred to a gastroentologist. They think he may have a food...

Brodie, Lucas, and I appeared on the 8 AM segment of Good Day Sacramento Sunday morning, June 15th. Brodie and Lucas are officially TV Stars! They didn't appear nervous at all. Once they were buckled into their bike trailer, they thought they were going on just another bike...

Brodie and Lucas had their 10 month doctor's exam Friday the 13th. I was shocked when their doctor said she could hear a heart murmur in Brodie. After all of the tests he went through at birth as a result of being a preemie, he never had a murmur. One thing lead to...

My neighbor delivered a large bag of fresh picked cherries from her tree. I just couldn't let the plump, sweet, and juicy cherries go to waste. So while Brodie and Lucas ate Joe's O's, I stood at the counter facing them, pitting 6 cups of cherries by hand. The end result, two...

Just about every day I experience some sort of Mommy guilt. I should of, could of, would of...If only I had thought of that before...Next time I'll try that....and so on. 99% of my guilt results from being a Mom of twins. I can't pick them both up when they are crying and need a...

If only I had another set of hands, I would have taken a picture of myself feeding Brodie and Lucas dinner with 3 spoons. But with only 6 hands, they were all at work. Lucas ate like a big boy, when in reality he has only been eating this way for about 3 weeks. Today he...

Brodie and Lucas woke up at 4:45 AM. I would have rather stayed in bed sleeping. After changing diapers ad nursing the kids, Brodie fell back asleep! No such luck with Lucas. He was wide awake and doing baby acrobatics rolling all over the family room floor.
At 6:00 AM I...

My twins are now 9 months old. Lucas is finally rolling. One day last week he started rolling left. He rolled left for a couple of days, and suddenly, he was rolling everywhere, left, right, with or without his hands full of toys. Brodie can roll. I've seen him do...

Their last feeding was 7:30 AM. By the time I packed their diaper bag and ice chest, it was 8 AM before I left the house. As I drove up Hwy 80 to Foresthill, I couldn't stop obsessing about what time they would get hungry again. Was my husband going to be able to handle the...
