First Few Weeks Home With the Twins

Our first few weeks home with these two were so much fun!  We seriously can't get enough of them.  They both have the sweetest temperaments and are so fun to take care of.  We are so blessed that Heavenly Father let them join our family.  They are our little miracles!  We love you, Landon and Zachary.  

 Here are some darling pictures!

Looking so cute in their explorer outfits. 

Handsome boys!  

We realized that Landon looks like Grandpa Munster from the Munsters, so we've lovingly nicknamed him Munster!  

Sleeping so peacefully.  My very faternal twins!  

Landon loves to have his hand by his face while he eats or sleeps.  This is how we saw him many times in the ultrasounds.  So sweet!

Sweet, sweet babies!  We love you!  Thank you for joining our family!  

Going Home!

After 6 days of being in the NICU, Landon and Zachary got to come home! Our family was so excited!  I was terrified, personally, being trusted with two, Two little babies was so intimidating.  But, I had Lance and I knew we would somehow make it work!  We are a great team:) 

All ready to go!  Zachary 

Let's get this show on the road!  Landon

Life in the NICU

Since Landon and Zachary were born at 36.4 weeks, we anticipated that there would be at least a brief stay at the hospital.  It ended up being 6 days, which wasn't too bad.  Life in the NICU wasn't too rough at American Fork Hospital.  I really liked the different nurses and thought they took good care of my babies.  The hardest parts were all the cords the boys had to be attached to and being confined to such a tiny spot and not being able to leave with them.  I just wanted to love on my babies, and the NICU, although life-saving, creates ridiculous barriers between mommies and babies.  

My hospital stay was 4 days and the boys' was 6.  This wasn't a problem because we were able to pay a small fee and stay there until we could all come home together!  

Here are some fun pictures from our NICU experience and the first days of Landon and Zachary's life:

Big brother meeting little brothers!!  Zander and Zachary 

My boys! 

Landon and Zachary got Zander a bear that says, "I'm the big brother" for his 10th birthday!  Zander turned 10 on August 15, just 3 days after the boys were born.  He was so happy they weren't born on his birthday.  Ten years ago Zander was born at the same hospital!
