They REALLY Do Grow Up Fast!

Aden and Andrew are one month old! What!? How is that already possible!? We are doing great and they are growing like weeds. Aden is 8 lbs 6 oz now and Andrew is 9 lbs 3 oz. It seems that they take turns being ravenous and eating like little piggies.
Last week Aunt Michell and cousin Jacob were in town for a visit. The babies got to go out to a Mexican restaurant for dinner and out to the Space Needle too. Their little adventurous lives are really getting started!

Momma and her Boys


Now Nanny (Paul's mom) is here helping us out. Again we are eating like royalty and getting lots of goodies stashed away in the freezer. She is a huge help and we are so happy to have her. And I think she might even like Aden and Andrew (:

Time flies when you're having fun!

Well the babies are almost 3 weeks old and it has been a whirlwind! Jody and Connor (Paul's cousin and son) came by for a visit on their way back from their trip to Canada and left us with some yummy snacks. And Grandma Newton is going home tomorrow. I am not sure how we would have survived without her help! The boys are growing and growing- last night they spent their first night in the nursery. It went really well. I think thanks to Daddy- who has better baby hearing than Momma! Seems like everyone slept a little better.

OK- So every new parent thinks their baby is the cutest baby in the entire world! Well- we are no exception at the Gabli house. Here is the proof!

Aden and Andrew- At the hospital in the bassinet together. At home together in the Pack 'n Play.

We are doing great and Grandma has arrived to lighten the load- we are so glad she is here to help! I will try to keep updating as much as possible. As you can imagine, we are quite busy and working on figuring out our routine.

Thanks to all for you thoughts and prayers throughout the pregnancy. Now we are on a whole new roller coaster! WHEEEEEeeeeee!

Happy Birthday!

Mom, Andrew, Dad and Aden

The boys are here!
Andrew Joseph arrived first at 9:21 a.m. and weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 20" long.
Aden Clark arrived at 9:22 a.m. and weighed 6 lbs 8 oz and was 19 3/4" long.

We are all doing great- Mom is a little sore- but not too bad. Dad is already a doting father!

Here are some pics!

37 weeks and a New House

Just wanted to post a quick picture of the house and my big belly!
Also a picture of Paul and the house.
Lucy and Bella also wanted to pose!

D-Day

Today we scheduled the c/section for September 27 at 9:00 a.m. I really didn't want a c/section, but as 'Baby A' is breech there really isn't an option. So I am accepting the fact that it will just be that way! It is hard to believe they will be here in 2 more weeks!

The house is still not done. We thought it was going to be finished up today, but they still didn't have over half the list done that we gave them last week. (eye roll)
Good grief people! We have a nursery to decorate! Work with us!

Actually I feel very lucky that these are the 'problems' in my life. The babies are being very cooperative (I hope they don't rebel the second they come out!). They weigh over 6 lbs each, so whenever I feel tired and don't want to do anything except lie down, I remind myself of this fact. My stats so far- gained 45 lbs and my waist is 52". My knees let me know that the added weight is NOT welcome!

Sleeping at night is challenging. I think I am getting on the babies' schedule already. I suppose it is the way I get used to the idea of being up and down all night.

Wow- I am going to be a mom.

Belly Gallery

OK- Since the babies are coming in two weeks or less I am going to have to skip most of the nine months of belly and give you the short version. Here it is:













16 weeks 25 weeks 32 weeks 34 weeks



I will try to get the 36 weeks picture this week...

In the beginning...

...they were little embryos. The biggest two are the ones that became our babies.
Aren't they cute?

Their daddy was so excited- he couldn't wait to think about how soon he would be able to eat chocolate with them!













We were thrilled to find out that they actually stuck! We were officially pregnant!
