Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving. In the morning the Arnold clan gathered at our house for brunch, and in the afternoon the Remillard clan gathered at Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner. It was a busy day! And that night the boys slept very well! :-) A nice bonus!

The Remillards

Welcome Audrey!

Anna, Olivier, and Mason have a new cousin! Audrey Opal was born this morning at 1:24 a.m. and weighed in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and is 20 inches long. Joe, Heather and Audrey are all doing well and Lina is now a big sister just like Anna!

Photo update!

We have been taking lots of photos as we enjoy getting to know the boys and spending time with them. We thought we would share them with you!

Anna has a new trick. She surprised us tonight and we were able to catch it on video. She continues to be our silly girl!

We are home!!!

We came home today! Yeah! It was a long discharge process, delayed by doctors taking their time because it is the weekend and they don't have appointments waiting on them back at the office. Eventually we got all the paperwork done and we are free! :-)

Here are a few photos:

Welcome, Olivier & Mason!

This is Michelle posting a few pictures. The boys were about 3 hours old here. I only saw them for a few minutes in between their testings. The family was having some bonding time when I left, so maybe I will get more pictures tonight.

Welcome, Olivier & Mason!

Last Belly Picture

Here is the last belly picture! Tomorrow is the big day! Yeah!

Tomorrow will be the big day!

After my appointments on Monday and Tuesday, and getting some lab work done on Tuesday, it has been decided that the boys will be arriving tomorrow! In order to make sure I am fine and the boys are fine we will be celebrating a birthday tomorrow!

We are excited that we will be meeting the boys soon! We will be posting all their vitals once they are born and Michelle will be posting photos later in the day.

We are enjoying a quiet day at home today and looking forward to tomorrow!

Nephew!!!

We are going to have a nephew! We love our nieces to pieces but are thrilled that we will have a nephew as well! Tom and April found out that Squirt is a boy! Everything looks good and he will be joining the crew in early April.

Congrats to Tom and April!

Pregnant...still...

Today we had another ob appointment. We are now more than 36 weeks along which is great but also torture to my poor body. Blood pressure was good, heartbeats are good, and they are just growing away. Contractions continue but aren't close enough to be active labor. So we wait.

Each day is a bonus, reducing the chance that the boys will end up in the NICU which is great. I think that is the only thing that keeps me going. Just taking it one day at a time, and boy do they seem long!

The countdown is on, November 16th at the latest!
