36 weeks

Well, I have made it to 36 weeks and I could not be more ready to have these babies! I am extremely uncomfortable and in a lot of pain from the babies laying on top of nerves. I have a doctors apt. in the morning and an ultrasound next week to check on the growth of the twins. Hopefully we won't have to wait very much longer to met our two new bundles.

Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month. 

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

We had such an amazing Christmas. The kids did really well with all the excitment and enjoyed each and everyone of there gifts. We had Hover Christmas on Christmas Eve and my side on Christmas morning. Here are some of the pics from both days. I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and your holidays brought as much joy as they did here!

Happy 2nd Birthday Adalynn!

Daddy, Mommy, Orion and Signey would like to wish Adalynn a very Happy 2nd Birthday. We are extremely blessed to have you and we could not imagine are lives with out you! You are the most amazing little girl ever and I can not wait to see what the future holds for you.

Signey is 11 months Old!

Our little Siggy is 11 months old. I am in awe on how fast this year has gone and how much she has changed. Next month is her first birthday and I truly can not believe it. She just had a check up and she is doing great.

Signey loves too:
Try and walk all on her own
Stand on her own with no help for a brief moment
Eats any and everything
Is starting to drink whole milk instead of formula
Smile
She has 5 teeth
Play with her Brother and Sister
Play with her Toys


Signey's Stats:
Weight: She weighed in at a HEALTHY  21 pounds 15.5 ounces. 75th percentile
Height: She still is short only stretching 28 inches long. 25th percentile
Head Circumference: What a round little head measuring 17.13 inches. 20th percentile

Birthday Party (Sneak Peak)

Orion visits Santa Clause

Orion is the only one of the kids that has been able to go and visit with Santa. We plan on taking the girls together sometime before Christmas. Orion did a wonderful job with Santa and really enjoyed sitting on his lap. Now hopefully he continues to be a GOOD little boy before Santa arrives so he can stay on the nice list.

33-34 Week Twin Update!

Today, we had are 34 week check-up and Ultrasound. The Ultrasound went pretty good and went faster than the ones before. As for the Ultrasound findings Baby A are little girl is still breech and Baby B are boy is head down but his sisters legs and feet are in the way. Baby A (girl) is estimated at 4lbs 3oz. and Baby B (boy) is estimated at 5lbs 5oz. Seems big to me but I guess they are right on so I will take it.  My doctors apt. went rather well and we got some pretty exciting news. I am not dilating any further from what I did when I was in the hospital so that is great news. He also scheduled my C-Section date and I am starting the count down to us meeting are twins. I have 2 more weeks of bed rest then at 36 weeks I can be taken off of bed rest and help with the kids and the house work until my scheduled delivery date. Here's to hoping that these little ones stay in until there scheduled time to come out!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Hover's

This years Christmas card....
We hope that your Holidays are filled with Peace and Joy.
May God Bless your New Year with Love and Laughter!

3, 2, 1

 The Hover birthday party season is in full swing! Orion turned three the 10th of November and now Adalynn will be turning two in less than two weeks! That leaves us with the youngest for now Hover baby Signey as she will be turning one the 6th of January. So with the pregnancy and craziness of having three very small children we decided that it would be best if we combined all three of there parties together and had one BIG party! There birthday party is set for this weekend (pictures to come after all in thanks to In Full Bloom Photography). But here are there Birthday announcements!

Orion Turned Three!!!

Are sweet Addy will be two!!!

Our little Siggy will be turning One!!!

And the Stockings were Hung!!

Deck the Halls

The Hover's are in full Christmas spirit! I absolutely LOVE this time of year and I love to decorate for Christmas. Although this year we did not go all out with are decorations and lights. The kids had a great time helping decorate the tree and Orion and Addy could do it over and over again!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we have so much to be Thankful for! I am so happy that I was released from the hospital to home bed rest just in time for the holidays. Heath and I have been soaking up as much time with the kids as we can, since we didn't have them for 5 days or see them. I am also thankful for being blessed with three amazing healthy, beautiful kids. All so that I have been able to stay pregnant with the twins for another week! I hope that everyone feels blessed and counts there blessings this year.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Hospital Stay Continued

Well, as of now I am on Hospital bed rest with no privileges. Hopefully tomorrow I will be allowed to take small wheel chair rides around the floor and finally take a tour of the NICU where the babies could end up. The way that it sounds I will be here for the long haul. The hopes are to at least get me and the twins to 32 weeks and then try and push are luck and make it to 34 weeks. So that is at least a month or so in Marshfield away from my babies which I miss so badly. The kids are doing good so far and I am very proud of them. Hopefully my mom will be able to bring them down sometime this week so I can visit with them for a while. My days are pretty boring today I learned how to crotchet, I will be making baby blankets I think since they are the easiest plus it gives me something to do. I was also allowed to have my IV removed today so I am getting a little closer to total freedom! Plus a small shower which helped my mood. It's funny how much you take for granted.
So as of now I am laying low and trying to incubate these babies for at least a couple of more weeks. More to come when I meet with the doctors in the morning!

Unexpected hospital stay

Wednesday, morning I woke and told heath that I had not been feeling really well and that I thought I was getting sick. Heath left for work and I started to get breakfast ready for the kids. Then I started to feel these really weird pains so I called the doctors office and they said that it would be best for me to be seen in the OB department at the hospital. I then called Heath and made arrangements for the kids. Heath and I left for the hospital and 45 min later we were there. I got registered and settled into a room just thinking I would have some monitoring done and then be on my merry way. I was monitored for a while and then my doctor came to check on me and see how things were going. I was then given an exam and then was told that I was dilating and changing my cervix and my Doctor thought that it would be in mine and the twins best interest for us to be transferred out to Marshfield. BIG SURPRISE to me and Heath I am pretty sure that I am still in shock and I probably will be until this is all over.  I was transported by ambulance down to Marshfield and was given Magnesium Sulfate to stop my contractions and Beta for the babies lungs.. A two hour ambulance ride later and we arrived at the hospital not knowing everything that was going on or what was about to go on. I got here and Heath was given a tour of the NICU and met some of the nurses and got a tour. I was then given more Mag in hopes to stop the contractions.  More to come after I rest a while!

A little glimpse at O's Three year old pics!

A BIG Thank you to In Full Bloom Photography and My Mom for taking him!

Signey

I am behind on these so here we go! Signey just turned 10 months old and man is it going FAST! She is into everything and I dont think it will be long before she is walking all on her own. She creeps from one thing to another and stands for a while without holding on to anything. She just about eats anything these days and is really her own little person.


 Here is a review of her Sticky Bellies from the last couple of months!

 Here are a couple of shots of the Nursery that we have been working on for the Twins!

Happy 3rd Birthday

Orion turned three years old on Thursday and it makes me sad. I can not believe that he is already three and so mature. We had a great day just staying at home and relaxing. Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Chris came over and brought cupcakes. Boy oh boy did he get a kick out of that and so did Addy girl. All and all I have to say it was a successful third birthday. 

Happy Third Birthday Orion
We Love you

Happy Belated Halloween!

Can't forget about the other two

I finally got them to look at me this morning while I was taking pictures of Signey!

Standing!

Signey has been standing while holding on to things for a while now, mom just has not had the time to get picture of it... So this morning I finally got one. We are amazed at how quick she is growing up and hitting new milestones every day.

Preparing!

As I enter into the last couple of weeks of my second trimester I can only begin to prepare. We have started the remodel of the bedrooms and are almost complete with that. Hopefully by the end of this week we will have everything back to it's place and the kids in there own rooms again. The bedroom furniture for the twins is all here and this momma is anxious to set it up and get there room ready! I have also started to get things lined up for my hospital bag and began to make plans for when that time comes. I must say I am pretty excited about my hospital bag and all the things that will be going in it. I recently purchased a Weekender bag from Thirty-one gifts and I love it, I think it will make the perfect hospital bag. I also picked up two new Labor Looks gowns, YES two at the time I could not decide which one I liked better so I decided to get them both. I had one with Signey and received lots of compliments on it and I enjoyed being in something rather than there old worn down gowns. I have also been looking into a neat little place called  Small Batch Studio she has created a cute little bag of everything you need for D-Day called the Push Pack! I love that idea and it will help instead of having to worry about putting things in at the last minute.
As I go into my 26th week of pregnancy with the twins I grow more and more anxious to meet them! (Not to early or not to late) So do there brother and sisters.

A Beautiful Fall Day
