New pictures

So sorry for not getting on here in so long!! Things have been insane!

Addison came home from the hospital on May 27. Doug's mom came into town that night to help me out, and now my mom is here to help! Thank goodness for the help, because these two keep me busy!

Addison still has her feeding tube... not sure how much longer she will need it. It's really up to her! Sometimes she eats her whole bottle and sometimes she doesnt... and so she continues to gain weight she needs to have it until she eats her whole bottle every time. Sigh... patience is a virtue... I am working on it. At least she is home!

Pictures!

Here are some pictures of the girls.. finally, I know! Being a new mom has been busy, but I think I am slowly getting the hang of it and learning how to manage my time better when she is sleeping and whatnot.

These are of Sadie.





And here's our Addison. We don't have as many of her unfortunately, because of her being in the NICU.





I love being a mom! It's been such an amazing experience, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

They are here!

Babies are here! I had a c-section Wednesday 4/8 and Sadie Madelyn Mayo was born at 10:10 am, and weighed 5lb2oz and was 17.5 inches long. Addison Olivia Mayo was born at 10:11 am, and weighed 5lb7oz and was 18 inches long. Both babies and Mom are doing awesome! Sadie and I will get discharged tomorrow. Addison had her surgery yesterday, and it went very well! The surgeon was able to tuck the omphalocele back into her abdomen and stitched it closed. The only thing he was unable to do was sew the muscle back together because there wasn't enough give to stretch it that far. They will do another surgery this friday to sew the muscle back together and barring any complications, she will get to go home a few days later. We are so thankful for the many prayers which we have felt on Addison's behalf and feel so blessed all has gone so well for us and the girls!

We'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I get to my normal computer and get things uploaded from my camera.

Thanks for all of your well wishes!

Love, Sarah Doug Sadie and Addison

April 8th!

My doctor has scheduled my induction for April 8th unless the babies decide to come sooner! I cannot wait... I am totally ready, so uncomfortable, miserable, and tired of being pregnant! They will be 38 weeks at that point, so good and ready! Wish us luck!

35 Weeks

Here's a new picture for you! We've made it to 35 weeks so far!! YAY! The girls are holding on strong since our little stay at the hospital just shy of 34 weeks. My contractions have lessened substantially since then and now it's back to bed rest as we wait a few weeks more!

32 Weeks

We're getting there!!

This picture was from last week. This week is 33 weeks... and I have my weekly appt. w/ultrasound tomorrow. We are eager to see what the girls weigh now!

Maternity Pics

Doug and I were referred to a terrific photographer a month or so ago by a friend (thanks, Mikael!) to get some maternity and infant twin photos taken. We had her over on Saturday and she got some great shots of us and the belly. Here's a little sneak at some of her favorites from the shoot. We should be one of the first entries on the page.

We can't wait for Rebecca to take some great photos of the girls when they are born! She is fantastic!
