About Us

My photo
The Anderson family began in July 2003. Our family of two, soon became a family of three when we welcomed our first baby girl in December 2004. Alexis was joined by a brother and sister in March 2007. Twinners Dane and Hailey graduated our family of 3 to a family of 5. In March 2012 our family was completed by the arrival of our beautiful baby Kate. We are a busy family to say the least, but the happiest family in the world! We couldn't be a happier stronger family!

I just want to CRY!!!!!

Oh my gosh!!! I feel like months and months have passed in such a short amount of time! I was just looking at my last post a month ago, and WOW has Kate jumped WAY past where she was a short month ago!!!!!!

Kate's Milestones (or lack thereof) are almost all completely opposite!

*She now has a tooth, and her second bottom tooth is visible, and I am sure going to pop through in just days.
*Not only is she crawling ALL OVER! But she has stood and balanced herself more then once!!! In fact, as I walked into her room to get her from her nap, she was just standing there watching the door awaiting my entrance!!! NOT OK!!! She also is starting to cruise along the couch and trys on other objects. This really is nerve wracking because she doesn't have much control, and has tumbled quite a few times (luckily not into anything terrible, but still scary!)
*She is now eating like a champ! AND even taking bottles of juice/water at times!!?!?!? What?!!? I know!!!! sheesh!  Still no binki/pacifier however.
*Kate is now on the move to find her siblings, instead of waiting for them to come play with her, she is quick to go to them :)


I just feel like she has JUMPED and I am so sad to see my baby getting bigger.  I am fully excited for the next stage and when I see kiddos that are just a few months ahead of her, I can't wait for those stages to come around, but I am oh so sad that it's happening so fast.

Story of the twins arrival!

Alright, here's the scoop. On March 31st, I was starting to retain a bunch of water in my abdomin and the previous day I was spilling protein, so the doctor wanted me to go up to the hospital to have a lab taken to make sure I wasn't developing high blood pressure ( preeclampisa). So I went to the hospital at 8pm. The moment they hooked me up to the monitors I started contracting! Every 5 mins getting progressively worse in that hour. The doctor came back in and said, well you are in labor, what do you want to do?? I looked at him and told him he either had 3 hours to get these babies out of me, or we were waiting another 24 hrs because I was not going to have these babies on April 1st! So the doctor said, how soon can your husband be here? We then started preparing for Dane and Hailey's arrivals.
I arrived at the hospital to have some labs done at 8pm, by 9pm we decided we were delivering, and Dane arrived at 10:09pm and Hailey at 10:10pm. Both babies were in the NIC-U for 2 days since they were so early (35 1/2 weeks) and then were released to pediatrics with me and Drew. We were all able to head home on their week birthday:) Both Dane and Hailey are doing extremely well, and big sister Alexis couldn't be happier! I'm just glad they are out of my stomach!
