Never Alone

The checkup

When Preston took me to the doctor I was starting to get a baby bump. I went to the doctor and when we went in I layed in the bed and did the same thing as last time. You could see both baby's now. Preston's mind was blown. He had no idea that I was having twins.

It had been two months since my last checkup. Next month we would find the genders. We went back to the stores and got another crib, car seat and blanket material. I got another high chair but I got a different one so we could tell them apart. I got one more toy.

It's been about a month since my last checkup. Today we find out the genders. I did the same thing as last time. The only different thing this time is that Preston was holding my hand watching the monitor super close. She told us that one was a girl and one was a boy.

We are going to name the girl Bridget and the boy Jackson. We went and got some pink blankets and stuff. We got a wooden j and a wooden b. I painted the j a light blue color. I painted the b a light pink and in both I put a copy of the ultrasound. I have our little girl the lighter color of highchair and our boy the darker one. I painted their room two colors. Pink and blue.

It was time for my six month check up. We went and and she said both babies were healthy and growing strong. She told me just to take it easy for a while.

7 months

8 months

I had to go in for an 8 month check up. The babies were almost ready to come out. It was two weeks till my due date . I was laying in bed in the middle of the
night. Then I started having contractions. I woke up Preston and told him to grab my bags and i put on my slippers and I was still in my pjs. I walked down the stairs and we went to the hospital. After I had delivered Bridget I was on my way to deliver Jackson. They were washing them up after they were born it was one of the best moments of my life when I heard my baby's crie. I was so happy. I went to the bathroom and put on some new clothes. I got back in the bed and pulled out the bag I brought I pulled my hair up. I got the baby's blankets and clothes out. I gave the nurse their stuff and she was so gentle with them. It was so cute. I got to hold Bridget first. I held her for a while and then I gave her to Preston and he held her for a while. Then she brought over Jackson. I was holding him and then next thing I know I was holding both babies and getting pictures with them and Preston. I was super happy. Then I saw Alli come through the door. She came and gave me a hug and she handed me a present. " you didn't have to get me a present." " well, it's from me and all the girls at work. We all got a little something and put it all together." Inside there was a picture frame that said our little family. There was also two towels that had the baby's names in them. They also got me two car seat covers. They were so sweet. While Alli was holding the baby's I ate something small. I was even happier when Melissa and Kelly came in and have me two more presents. They had gotten me plenty of bottles and formula. They had gotten to gether and got me these things. I could never have enough of them. Alli took pictures and had to go back to work. We hugged before she left. Kelly and Melissa gave me hug before they left. The nurse told us that we could leave tonight if we wanted to. Preston left me with my babies and went home to get the car seats.(we forgot to grab them) When he got back we had gotten the birth certificates and I signed the release forms. They told us to bring the babies back if there was any problems. We got the babies in their car seats. We carried them out to the truck and we buckled them in. I sat in the back with them. We had gotten the bottles ready and I was feeding them. When we got home our chubby little babies were asleep. We got them out of the car and we put them in our bed with us. We both fell asleep and of course the baby's didn't agree so Bridget started to cry which made Jackson cry. I sat in my rocking chair and rocked them to sleep. I layed them on my bed and I went to sleep with them while Preston went and made us dinner. I fed the babies while he did that. He moved the cribs into our room so they could sleep by us and not on our bed so we didn't roll on them. We ate then went to bed and I woke up every two hours to the babies crying. I woke up Preston and every time he fed Jackson out of a bottle and I did the same thing to Bridget. I was so tired by the morning.
