The Moon is Out

We had a fun night last night. The girls woke up at 1am instead of their normal 12am. I went in and picked up H1 first to change her diaper. I went to button her jammies back and up and realized that it was going to be a lot more difficult that I thought. This was the first time they had worn these so I had no experience with the buttons. It took me nearly a good 5 minutes just to get one of her legs back in and of course they were both getting pretty mad by then. Luckily when it came to changing H2 I had a better idea of how to get at those snaps. *sheesh*

The girls slept the longest overnight that they had ever slept. From 1am to 8:30am!!! I barely knew what to think this morning. I was woken by then just talking away. When I went to check on them the girls were laying there holding hands looking at each other and talking and giggling. Too cute!!! It always makes it wonderful to wake up to smiling happy girls. I of course had to run and grab the camera to get a photo of them. When I walked back in they had stopped looking at each other and were talking up at their butterfly mobile. H1 found the crib bumper and decided she was going to try and get it into her mouth. It was too funny.

We are going to go over to Aunt Tes' house this afternoon. We are excited to see our soon-to-be new baby cousin Patrick's room and get loves!

We Officially Have Cribs!

It took nearly 5 months but we finally have all the girls furniture in the house and put together. The cribs are beautiful and I am so happy we stuck to our guns and waited it out. Both girls are sleeping in one crib for the time being. We'll see how it goes. We have yet to put the pictures/decor on the walls. We need to get some more nails.

Here are a few photos of the room.

In other news, I was finally able to capture H2 rolling over. Every time I tried she would either stop and just sit and smile at me (she knows what she's doing!) or the camera would run out of battery/disk would be full. I thought I could post it but I don't have the software to get the tape from the camera to my computer. I will have to look into that.

Both the girls are taking a quick afternoon nap in their bouncy seats. It took H2 awhile to calm down enough to actually fall asleep but a little suck on the pow-pow (what we call pacifiers) and she was out. I'd better get some things done around the house before they wake up.

The Goal...

My goal for this blog is to update (at least every other day) to let friends and family stay connected to the dailey goings on here in the Hamilton household.

Our First Trip Out of Town

We are going to be attempting out first out of town trip. We are going to visit my family for the next 10 days. I am very excited and a bit nervous.


Wish us luck!

Welcome to Our World

Allow me to introduce myself. I am H2Mommy the 22 year old stay-at-home Mommy of my beautiful 3 month old identical twin girls H1 and H2.

I am married to my wonderful husband R. We have been married now for a little over one year now as of September 3rd.

The day I found out I was pregnant was October 12, 2006. We were in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on our late honeymoon. As soon as we found out we went onto the back porch that sat over the river and talked about how our lives were going to change. As we talked I mentioned how I thought it could be twins. R thought it was a boy.

This is the photo we took together in our cabin right after the stick turned pink.

When we got home we surprised our families with the big news. To surprise my Mom we bought her a key chain that said #1 Grandma. We gave it to her in a group of souvenirs from Tennessee. She looked down at it and was expecting it to say Pigeon Forge. Her face was priceless. Whenever we told my in-laws the first thing out of my Mother-in-laws mouth was "You know, it's going to be twin girls!"

We went to my first ultrasound on December 5, 2006 when I was 13 weeks with my AMAZING Dr. Mc. We found out that we were having twins. As soon as I saw them I turned to R and said "Your Mom was right!!!"

13 Week Belly Photo

As my pregnancy progressed through awful morning sickness (that made me loose 10lbs) and bad back pain, my stomach grew and grew.

At 17 weeks we found out that both the babies were girls and were identical twins. We chose their names...

Through the pregnancy the girls kept flipping back and forth from beech to to head-down. H1 ended up being breech and H2 was transverse (aka: sideways). I planned my c-section for June 5, 2006.

I went to the hospital at 9:30 am


and walked into the OR at 12:00 pm.

And had H1 at 12:54 pm and H2 at 12:55 pm.

Welcome to the world sweet baby girls!
