Update

So a lot has happened since I last updated.

First of all my twins were born. I was induced on my birthday. And yes I had my twins on my birthday. Went in the hospital about 7 in the morning and had them at around 3:30 in the afternoon. I amazed everyone and had them both vaginal. Josh was the first one and Sam was 6 minutes later. Sam come out with the cord wrap around his neck so I didn't get to see him right away. When I finally got to see them it was the greatest thing in the world. Finally after 8 1/2 months of wonder they were finally in my arms.


Joshua Scott 6lbs 1 oz, 19 inches long


Samuel Paul 7 lbs 1oz 19 1/2 inches long

The first couple of months were pretty tough getting used to having twins. Sammie had jaundice and was very much a colicky baby. Josh was very mello and went with the flow. I had tons of helps which I don't think I could have done this alone. Gracie really didn't mind having brothers she really didn't pay much attention to them. Me and Nate went back and forth sleeping on the couch. It was very rough.




January this year when the boys went to their 2 month check up the doctor looked at Josh's head and noticed that something wasn't right. So we were sent to the hospital for an x ray. They weren't sure about it so they sent us to get a ct scan. After that Josh was diagnosed with having premature closure of his satigial suture and would have to have surgery. Sammie was also not in the clear and has fluid around his testicles. We have been in and out of the doctors office with these boys. Which was very different from Gracie

These days;

Gracie
I can't believe that she's going to be 2 in August. Man does time go by fast. She running around getting into trouble and just being cute. We haven't mastered talking yet she says "hi" and that's it. She loves to "try" to help with her brothers. She throws away diapers for you and giving them their bottles. She is evil some times and takes toys away from them. We are working on the whole sharing, but she doesn't get it yet. Loves to play outside and go swimming. We moved her up to a big bed, but she sleeps with me and Nate. She has a smile that will just melt your heart and love that never ends.



The twins are 7 months now.

Josh:

Josh's surgery is scheduled for June 8th at Spectrum Health. It's going to be a very tough time for our family but I know that we will get through it. We trust the doctors and are praying for this to be over with. We also have been working with a Physical therapist correcting some tightness in his neck and over extending his legs and he has really benefit from this. He has started crawling, and get around pretty good. He eats baby food three times a day. This guy loves to move I don't think there is a time he is not moving. His ankles moves all the time.


Sam:
Is now a very lovable boy. He is such a flirt. If anyone walks by him or talks to him he smiles.
He is a big boy to already 21 lbs. It took awhile to get over the colic, but he is a much more happy. Very sensitive. Is starting to move around he's doing the army crawl, but at least he is getting around. Loves watching his sister even if she torturing him. We are still also not sleeping through the night, but we are getting there. He eats three meals a day of baby food. He's so cute.


Me and Nate:

Nate finally got a job at Holland Hospital. It's so nice all he has to do is walk to work. He also has job at Freedom Village. He is a great help with the kids. Me will I just enjoy taking care of my kids every day and watching them grow. We have a lot going on this summer. So it should be interesting.

Twins

So I had a doctors appointment yesterday and got some unexpected news. The appointment was going as plan got check out, talked with the doctor, and so on. Then she was like lets do a ultrasound for fun. I was like ok and went into the room. I was laying there looking at the screen just thinking wow I am going to have another baby. She checked the heartbeat it was perfect. I measured to be about 8 weeks along. Then she said something that I'm still trying to comes to grib with. "There are two, you are having twins, I should go get the doctor." she just left the room. I was freaking out I looked at the screen and sure enough there are two little black holes. AHHHH I'm having twins. Of course Nathon wasn't there so I was having to deal with the information alone. My doctor came in screaming and congratulating me she was surprised too. So after talking with her I went and made my next appointment everyone was congratulating me I was freaking out. As soon as I got out of the building I called Nate I asked him if he was sitting down and I told him. He didn't believe me I said well believe me there are two. He was speechless. Everyone has been. I'm still in shock, but very happy. I can't wait to seem them.

Baby News

So I probably should update this. Me and Nate are expecting baby Kelley #2. We are very happy about this news and can't wait to welcome him/she into our lives. My estimated due date is November 1st, but me and Nate think it would be cool to have a Halloween baby. My first doctors appointment is on April 1st which exciting. I've been trying to deal with the morning sickness and Gracie at the same time, but some days it's catches up with me. I'm happy that it's not as bad as it was with Gracie. Everyone is excited. Some think we're crazy, but it's all good. We of course are hoping for another girl since well we have everything already, but we well be happy with whatever happens. Most likely this well be the last Kelley baby for us.


Gracie is growing ever day it seems. She is almost getting the crawling, she just needs some more practice. Its a lot of fun watching her learn new things and we can't wait for this summer to hit the beach. It's hard to believe that she is 7 months old. The year seems to be going to fast.
We have a busy week, we are moving back to Holland to live with my dad, we are going to Wisconsin for the weekend for a wedding. Craziness. Well that's it for now.

A little Trip

Man it seems like I'm never home. Last week I came back from being in Holland to going on a little get away with my family. Me, Nate, and Grace went up to Birch Run and Frankenmuth. We stayed over night at the Country Inn. Gracie went into a swimming pool for the first time and loved it. In Birch Run we went to the Prime Outlets for some shopping, Gracie pretty much has all the summer clothes she well need, but she well more then likely get more. Then in Frankenmuth we went to Bronner's The Worlds Largest Christmas store. This store as ever imaginable ornament you can think of. It was pretty cool. We had a great time and can't wait to go back again. We love traveling and making memories.

First Tooth

Gracie is getting her first tooth. YAY!! We were at grandma's and grandpa's house sitting around watching TV and eating Apple pie. Of course we were giving Gracie a few little bits when Grandma discovered the little tooth. It would explain when she's been driving me nuts the past couple of days. Who knows how many days she's had it. I don't really stick my fingers in her mouth, but i guess I should start. We are excited to hit this milestone and can't wait for more little toothers to come up.

First Blog

I kept reading other people blogs and thought it was so cool. Thought it would be a great way for people to hear about what is going on in the Kelley Family.... I'm excited to start this and can't wait for people to read.
