Introducing to the world

Kaya Starlin Clark and McKenna Kathryn Clark!!!
They were born Monday 3/23/09 at 8:41 and 8:42 pm, weighing 3.9 lbs and 3.15 lbs respectively. They are doing really well, especially for being born at 33 weeks. They will need to stay in the nicu for a while, but are getting stronger.

update on the girls

These are the latest pictures of baby 'A'. This one is sideways so it might be hard to see at first but it is a complete face shot; she is smiling very big. This is her profile; it is so weird to see them because it makes it seem so much more real.
We couldn't get a good one of baby 'B' because she is facing my insides. They are both doing well and we are busy getting ready for them. We have finished with birthing classes and I had two GREAT baby showers. My mother-in-law and my mom both threw me wonderful showers and we are so grateful for all the love, support and gifts. Thank you everyone; we really feel that the lord is watching over us and using all of you to bless us. I can't tell you all thank you enough times.

Nursery!!!

These are pictures of our cribs! The nursery has a jungle theme and then we are trimming everything in pink or purple. I sewed the quilts; you will notice there is a pink one and a purple. They are that soft minki fabric and I am really happy with how they turned out. Everyone helped us get our cribs and we are so grateful for all the help; these girls are already spoiled-Which means we are too!

Update on the girls

THE GIRLS
the other night when I was trying to get to sleep the babies were moving A LOT and so I was laying on my side and they kicked really good. You could feel the whole bed move anyways to me this was just another big painful kick but Gus apparently wasn't all the way asleep; it woke him up the rest of the way and he was pretty shocked they had that much strength. It was pretty funny. So I figured I would post the stats and some pics we took the other day. The babies are about the size of a liter of soda and weigh 2 lbs each! They are developing surfactant this week which is the fatty substance that lines the air sacs in their lungs so pretty much this week is a huge step in their development.

Today I had another first in the pregnancy. As you can tell I am getting pretty big but today was the first time I actually had a patient look at me and say 'you look like you are about to pop!' I tried to keep a straight face as I thanked him!



Gus did an amazing job taking these pics I really wanted some of my maternity belly and so he offered to try I think he did an amazing job, but I still don't have any with him and me :(
I really am impressed with these pictures that he took though-he did AMAZING

Tummy Shots

Bye Bye to my toes I really can't see them anymore and the babies are huge! They are the size of a 1 lb coffee bag and weigh 1 lb each! I can really feel the stretch and pressure but it is amazing to feel them always moving.

messin around

The kiss goes to Gus he has been so wonderful this whole pregnancy; I can't believe how lucky I am! Thank you for everything you do to take care of us.
I have a feeling these girls are going to idol their father and I can't wait to see how excited they get to see 'daddy'!












I told you I was getting larger...
