1 month old

These two are 1 month old today!

Thank you Nixon and Cooper for bringing more love to our family.

You have grown so much already.

So for heaven's sake please slow down...you just got here.

My 4 boys

I am having so much fun loving on all of my boys.

I love being a mommy!

Growing and Growing...

These boys are good eaters!

Nursing has been going great and I am so thankful that they nurse so well-and both at the same time :) Both boys went home from the hospital under 6 lbs. So we have had to take them to the dr. every week for a weigh in. We are all very impressed with their gain. The average baby should gain a half of an ounce per day. Our boys are doing well over that. We are so proud!

Weekly stats:

1 week old-Nixon 6 lbs.

Cooper 6 lbs. 5 oz.

2 weeks old-Nixon 6 lbs 13 oz.

Cooper 7 lbs. 5 oz.

3 weeks old-Nixon 7 lbs. 5 oz.

Cooper 7 lbs. 10 oz.

Nixon and Coopers birth story (the quick version)

Excited for our babies! ( I got a great epidural before the c-section. My anesthesiologist was a Harvard Med. school grad-nuff said!)

Well, the babies will be 2 weeks old tomorrow night. We are so in love with them and have had so much fun these last 2 weeks!

I LOVE not being pregnant. I LOVE fitting into all of my old clothes and having the energy to do things. It has been great!

I was a little nervous about the recovery for a c-section but honestly it has been amazing.

I had natural deliveries with Ashton and Weston and comparing natural vs. a c-section I really think I prefer the c-section-and my other deliveries were easy and great too!

We went into the hospital thinking that we were going the vaginal delivery route but right before the dr. broke my water, we did a quick ultrasound and Cooper had flipped into a breech position. So they prepped me for surgery and the twins were born about 20 minutes later.

Ashton and Weston have been great big brothers. They like to run to the babies at any and every sound that they make. They are good helpers and like to be involved with the dressings, diaper changes and baths. I am lucky to have them help me every day.

Nixon and Cooper are already changing. They are great babies and are already on a schedule. I am able to nurse them at the same time, so it really cuts down on the feeding times. I love having new babies in our house and it has really brought our family closer together.

Our hearts are full.

We celebrated Ashton's 5th birthday yesterday and it was busy and exciting.

We woke up and had his favorite waffles and whip cream breakfast then he, Alexa (my little sister), Weston and Tommy all headed off to Chuck E. Cheese for a morning full of game playing.

Grandma and Grandpa Bell, and Great Grandpa Bell A.K.A. white haired Grandpa came over for a yummy lunch.

My Mom (Mimi) and sister are here helping so they celebrated with us too. In fact, the cute dragon cake that you see was created by Mimi!

Ashton enjoyed opening his presents and was too excited to even eat his cake and ice cream.

It was a very fun day and we are so glad that so many people who love him were able to be here to celebrate.

Happy birthday Ashton bear. We love you!

They're here ! ! !

Quick post from baby land...

Our sweet baby boys were born at 7:56 pm on Sunday, February 19th. We came home with them on Wednesday the 22nd just in time for big brother Ashton's birthday!

Nixon Sawyer Bell (Baby A) weighed 6 lbs. 3 oz. and was 21 inches long.

Cooper Hunt Bell (Baby B) weighed 6 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21.5 inches long.

They came out kicking and crying and in perfect health.

We are so blessed that they never spent any time in the nicu or nursery-they roomed with us the whole time and we were in love with every second we spent with them.

Ashton and Weston are great big brothers. They couldn't be more excited!

Mom and babies are still doing great and we love our new family of 6!!!

WE MADE IT!!!

Hey everyone!

We went into the doctor today and he surprised us with a slip of paper and our induction date written on it...

Sunday February 19th!!!!

We were shocked, excited, happy, elated and can't wait to hold these babies in our arms!

Only 4 more days! I cannot believe it... WOW!!
