We are home from the Hospital!!





Well.... We offiicially broke out of the hospital!! We came home with our two little ones last night and I couldnt have been more happy! (2 weeks in the hospital was way too long!) It was such a neat feeling bringing them home. We had been waiting for that moment for 9 months now, and it was so fun!! I have to admit Craig and I both got a little emotional when we walked into the door. We sat thier little carriers on the floor, held them both, and said "ok now what?". We just stared at each other realizing that this is our little family...A family of four!!!

Jeter and Kamree are the sweetest little babies. I feel so blessed to have them in my life. They are so healthy, and both have thier own little personalities already. We are so in love with them. And I absolutely love being a mom!! I dont know what I would do with out them!! Craig Was such a sweetheart the whole time we were in the hospital.. He slept with me everynight (in a really uncomfortable hospital recliner), and didnt leave my side the entire time. He is SO CUTE with the twins, and such a good dad already. I can just watch him interact with our babies all day long. He is so cute and tender with them...


Here we are leaving the hospital... oh happy day!!! even though I was SO READY to leave that place, I have to say I felt a little sad to say goodbye to the nurses!! We bonded with so many of them. They were all so sweet with us and our babies....


First car seat experience....

**First bath at home!! They loved it!!**







Nana with Kamree.... :)




I just have to take a minute to Thank my mom! Oh my gosh has she been SO HELPFUL these last two weeks!! She brought us meals every single day (all 13 days) while in the hospital, helped us in the nursery at the hospital (all the late night feedings), and has stayed with us and helped us with everything. She has cleaned my house, done a ton of Laundry and has been so sweet with everything! I dont know what we do with out her. Thank you so MUCH mom!! We Love you!!

Oh my goodness I miss you guys so much!!! They are already getting so big from the last time I saw them, it makes me sad!!! They are perfect, Jul's. I have Lillie right here, and I said, "Look, here's Kamree and Jeter"...and she goes, "No mom, it's Jeter and Kamree". She thinks she's already best friends with them. They are honestly the most beautiful babies, and you look amazing, Julie. Your body has been through so much, and you look so great!! I love you girl. Lillie really wants to talk so I'm sure you'll be hearing from us today.
