I wanted to thank everyone for all of your prayers and kind words. Our family really appriciates every one of your prayers. It goes with out saying the past weeks have not been easy. We are very blessed to have our sweet Olivia but we are also missing our Sweet Hannah and think about her constantly. Emma absolutely loves her little sister and is very sweet to her. We are so blessed to have two sweet little girls and one little Angel.

Sweet Little Feet

These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints
never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have wings.
These tiny footprints were meant
for other things.
You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel’s tears,
of joy and not from pain.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies’ lazy dance.
I’ll let you know I’m with you,
if you just give me the chance.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.
Most of all, the tiny footprints,
are found on Mommy and Daddy’s hearts.
‘Cause even though I’m gone now,
We’ll never truly part.

Update

So Emma is LOVING all of the Christmas activities this year! Loves, loves, loves Santa! Talks about him all the time and how she is going to get a present from Santa. ;) She also LOVES all the Christmas lights and everytime we are out we drive around and look at all the lights she gets excited to see all of the blow up decorations. It has been a lot of fun watching her get so excited about Christmas. :)

Emma and Santa

Babies are doing good. The week after Thanksgiving I was put on bed rest. :P And then this past week we found out that there is something going on with both of the babies cords. Basically the placenta is starting to give out and there isn't enough blood flow in the cords. They are keeping a very close eye on everything and I am seeing the Doc twice a week now. On Monday we were told to not be to shocked if we have to deliver in two weeks which would be the week after Christmas. Of course we are praying and hoping that it will be more like three or four weeks and let them grow as much as they can. Of course if the placenta isn't working like it should then it will not do any good to keep them in. :/ Just praying for whatever is best for the babies.

    Hey Jenny - I just want you to know that I love you soooo much and am thinking of and praying for you and Josh and Emma. I can't imagine the mixed emotions you have right now, and I just pray that you will have comfort and lots of support from God and the people who can be with you right now. HUGS.

    I never realized how emotional I was until today. My heart just breaks for you and your whole family. I can't imagine what its like, but I know it is something I wish nobody had to imagine. We all just need to learn to put our faith and trust in God and remember that he does what is best for us & his ways are higher than our ways. I love yall soo much and pray that yall are comforted in these unbearable moments.

GROWING BABIES

Well, I am 24 weeks now. Babies are doing GREAT! Getting big and so is Mommy. ;) I am measuring 30 weeks! But that is expected since there is two babies in there. So I am not to shocked.

Here is Olivia! She is 1 pound and 2 ounces
She is looking at you in this one. ;)

Profile you can see her nose and mouth and her eye. :)

And here is Hannah! She is 1 pound and 6 ounces
She is looking at you in this one. ;)
PhotobucketShe stayed on her tummy most of the time.

But they are not the only ones getting big! Emma surprises us everyday with things she is learning. The good and the bad. ;) I love listening to her sing! She is always singing and pretending to play instruments! The other day she said she wanted a violen! :) Not sure if they make "play" violens for two year olds. But she also loves her drums, guitar, and she will be getting a play piano for christmas. She is just getting soo big!! It still surprises me how fast she is growing up. Last weekend we went to Dewberry Farms. She LOVED it! She is really into pumpkins right now. ;) So of course we had to go to the pumpkin patch and get a pumpkin. Gigi came with us and Emma had a blast with her. She really LOVES her Gigi. I think the feeling is mutual. Here are some pictures for Dewberry Farm.

  • bjcrumpton
    Enjoyed all the pics! Especially the ones from the farm! Emma is getting to be a big girl. She's going to be such a sweet big sister! And check this out. It says it's for 3 yrs and up, but Emma sounds advanced enough to handle it! ;)

    regarding triclosan, the article states that more in depth studies need to be done to determine how much you would have to take in your body for it to be harmful for your baby. I'm not being paranoid about not using anything with that in it, but I am reading labels and if it is something I use daily or very often, I try to buy a different brand that does not use that ingredient. The article states it's in most anti bacterial products, but also lotions, soaps, toothpaste...I have been using a normal brand of toothpaste and it's not in mine, so I'm sure it just depends on the brand.

Our Growing Family

This past weekend we went and had our last family of three picture taken. :) It went much better then E's two year pictures. But I am guessing that is becuase Mommy and Daddy were in the pictures with her. The babies also had there pictures taken on Monday. They are so active! It was hard for the tech to get there measurements because they were moving around so much. :) Can't believe I am already 20 weeks! It is going by so fast this time around. Guess that is becuase I have a two year old to keep me busy! We are trying to get rooms ready for all three kids. We will be moving E over to the other room. Nana is coming this next week and we are planning on painting E's new big girl room! I will have to post pictures once it is finished! :)
