8 Weeks!

Okay, I may not win the blogger of the year award. I had every intention of updating this MUCH sooner . . .but it seems life with 3 under 3 is sort of time consuming! Anyway . . . Peyton just turned 3 on the 7th, and the twins are 8 weeks old today. Everybody is doing great and adjusting to life in a family of five.



For Peyton's birthday, we took her to Sea World and had an awesome day with just the three of us. The park was empty, which was great. Though we spent $24 to feed the dolphins, seals, and rays - it was worth it.







She is really cute with the babies, always kissing and hugging them. She even pulls their car seats out (drags, really) and likes to try out their stuff:

So here's the wee ones . . . getting really big. On our not so precise scale, we think Ethan is close to 12 pounds and Ally is close to 9. We go back to the doctor next week so will get some precise weights. Sorry abou tthe image, I don't know how to rotate it. Just turn your head and view:

Do they look bigger to you?? They sure seem bigger to us!
Sleeping is a favorite pasttime around here - not for Renee mind you. The twins have some fancy technology that makes sure they dont sleep at the same time!

I sure wont promise a weekly update, but will sure try to do it sooner than 6 weeks from now :)

Two weeks old already?!?!?!

Time sure does fly when your whole life revolves around 3 hour feeding cycles! We have been at home for 9 days already! Everything is going really well, we are all adjusting to being a family of five! The twins are doing well, and actually maintaining a schedule pretty well - of course it's just challenging as we figure out how to get everything done with 3 under 3!

Do they look bigger?

The Twins Have Arrived!

The twins are finally here! born on 10/14 at 1:38 and 1:39 pm. Ethan Robert tipped the scales at 7 pounds, 15 ounces (wow) and little Allyson Rae was 4 pounds, 10 ounces. Ethan, Ally, and mommy are all doing extremely well! Big sister Peyton is having fun too! More to come after some sleep . . . .so will probably have another post in about 10 years!

Babies Tomorrow!!!

Two more Beckers will be joining the family tomorrow at 12:30, so we wanted to take Peyton out over the weekend for something special. We went to Goofy's kitchen for breakfast. She saw Pluto, Goofy, Chip and Dale, and Alice, but the highlight of the morning was Cinderella - must be that little girl thing. She did NOT like Ballou AT ALL. The only thing that ranked as high as Cinderella were the gummy worms . . . yes, they have cups with "dirt" and gummy worms for the taking, and Peyton definitely got her share - and mine, and Renee's.

The next post should be pictures of the twins!

1 Week to go!

We are officially less than a week away from the c-section! Assuming we don't have any breaking waters or natural labor, Ethan and Ally will be joining us Tuesday the 14th at 12:30! Renee went to the doctor today and he says everyone (all three of them) are very healthy, and he thinks she will make it to the scheduled day! Renee, as you would imagine, is not very comfortable, but is excited that we are now less than a week away!

Countdown - 3 weeks to go!

Here is a picture of Renee taken today, at 35 weeks pregnant! Ethan and Allyson are still doing well and obviously growing a lot! The c-section is scheduled for Tuesday 10/14 -3 short weeks - but only time will tell if the twins want to wait that long!!!

How cute is this kid?

Going to be a great big sister!

31 Weeks Pregnant with Twins

31 weeks today. Doctor says everything looks great! Renee says - man, I'm tired! She is going to stop working next Friday for some much needed baby rest.

Take a look at the graphic showing how big those babies are!

Renee 23 weeks pregnant with twins!

We thought she was big a few weeks ago . . . . those babies must be getting big!

Showing The Twins

We thought Renee was showing at 8 weeks - if you aren't used to looking at her - not really!

But holy cow - take a look at week 17! Holy cow, already into maternity clothes. Two little babies add up fast!!!
