Cameryn Paige

Cameryn is our first born of the twins. She was "Baby A" in the womb as well as the first name we decided and agreed upon. This being my 2nd pregnancy I thought it would be a lot similar to my first with Morgan, however it was not. I don't know if it was having two babies in my belly but they sure did move a lot more than Morgan ever did. I have to say Cameryn was my active baby!! She was on my left side of my stomache and was head down the whole time, I was either getting punched in the hip (wierdest feeling ever) to a point where I would be walking and she would hit me and my left leg would almost give out sending me to the ground!! Or she had her feet HIGH up in my ribs, so bad it would take my breath away. It is funny that she was that active because now she is what we call "uncle fester" not only does she have a HUGE head but she is just chill, feed her, change her, and cuddle for a few minutes and she is good to go.

She is a such a relaxed baby, you can lay her down and she just likes to look around at everything!! She is a BIG belcher and poops usually twice a day if not more (still getting the name Uncle fester right for her) She is also really strong with her neck and head already, she will pick it up, look around and set it back down!! In fact she did that at the hospital when my friend Heather was holding her!!! She is already close to almost rolling over as well at only 6 weeks, I would say that is amazing!!!

She is the biggest of the twins and LOVES her food, she is also the most similar looking to Morgan when she was an infant! I have no idea how she is going to be as a toddler, but we do appreciate her being a really easy baby!!

The Twins have arrived!!

Wow, it has been a while since I updated. It is easy to say that I have been BUSY!!! I wanted to give everyone an update. In June my blood pressure continued to be high and after a few trips to Labor and Delivery and elevated protein in my urine they went ahead and put me on bed rest. My goal was to make it to 37 weeks with the pregnancy cause that was as far as they were going to let me go before having a scheduled C Section. After three weeks of bed rest we pulled Morgan out of daycare in my 36Th week thinking I would be able to make it one more week with having her at home full time. Monday went along just fine, but on Tuesday as soon as I woke up I didn't not feel well at all. I couldn't keep food or water down and after a few blood pressure checks I took Morgan to her Aunt Jamie's (it was planned for her to go to the zoo that day anyways since I had a DR appointment at 11) and stopped in at Labor and Delivery for them to check my blood pressure. I checked in at 915 am and by 11 they said that they were going to go ahead and do the C Section within the hour!!! I wasn't expecting that, I just thought they would monitor me and then send my to my Dr. Appointment!!!

Tyson hurried off work and to the hospital and at 1:00 I was in the operating room! At 1:13 pm Cameryn Paige Pechanec made her entrance weighing in at 5lbs 11Oz's, one minute later at 1:14 pm Jaidyn Elliott Pechanec made her entrance weighing in at 5lbs 10Oz's!! I only got to see them for a minute and then they were taken for observation. I had to stay behind because I was also getting my tubes tied at the same time (yup this baby factory is over). At the time they started my C Section they also started pumping me full of Magnesium, because I had pre-eclampsia they gave me magnesium so I didn't have a stroke. That stuff is NASTY stuff. With about 20 minutes left of my surgery I started to get really hot (side effect), really itchy (side effect) and really nauseous. By the time I got to recovery I was really out of it. The girls blood sugars were in the 40's so we had to feed them some formula to try to get it above 50. If it didn't go about 50 after an hour then they would have to go to NICU. Thank goodness my friend Heather was there to help Tyson because I could barely comprehend what was going on (another side effect)

The girls pulled thru and I got brought back to Labor and Delivery, because I was on Magnesium I had to stay there for 24 hours till they stopped it. I was very happy and excited that the girls were healthy and a good weight and nothing major had happened!! It all happened so fast!!

Baby Shower

Last weekend my friend Heather and my sister in law Jamie offered to throw us a baby shower for the twins. I wasn't really expecting a baby shower for having a 2ND (and 3rd) baby but since they offered we took them up on it. We figured if we could get some diapers out of it then we would be happy. I decided that I wanted a "family" event so husbands and kids welcomed, more of a BBQ atmosphere rather than a formal baby shower, that way everyone can enjoy it!!! It turned out the be one of the nicest days we had had all spring, which was great. Jamie had a kids pool set up so the kid could swim, there was adult beverages (sadly I couldn't participate in that) as well as some kid friendly drinks (unlimited for me--ha ha)

Here are the kids playing in the pool

Heather and Jamie out did themselves, they decorated with my jungle theme that I have for the girl's room, there were colored lanterns strung all around, and a TON of food. Some of my coworkers came, Aunt Donna came--of course spoiling the girls along with an amazing Jungle cake, our friend Lindsey who we haven't seen forever came, and our neighbors Sheila and Dorian and their kids came, and Dan's parents were there. Unfortunately there were a few that couldn't make it, but I know that they would of rather of been there then having to go through what they were at the time.

Here is our family picture, soon to grow by two more :)

We were very shocked to see that not only did we get a TON of diapers, but we got our double stroller we were wanting as well as one of the two matching car seats!!! That was a HUGE shock for us because those two big items came from Heather and Jamie who already invested in the baby shower. It is nice to know that our family and friends love us and know that having one baby is expensive let alone two. We also got a ton of clothes as well so the girls are pretty set for outfits since I saved all of Morgan's stuff from when she was a baby.

It was nice for us to just get out of the house and hang out with friends and family. Morgan had a blast swimming with her cousins Maggie and Gabriel, and her friends Reagan and Brooks. In fact she ran around nonstop from 4 to 1030 that night!! Needless to say we were in the truck for 5 minutes and she passed out.

It was a great day, full of surprises!

Here is the diaper cake that Aunt Donna made (amazing!!)

I love, love, love this picture, so cute!!! Uncle Dan helping Morgan with tying balloons on her shirt!!!!

Here is the amazing cake that Donna made--she is talented!!! and yes I had to change into more comfortable clothes, although nothing makes me comfortable at this point.

First/Last Camping for the Summer

Most of you all know how much Tyson and I love to camp but when we planned this pregnancy we really didn't think about the camping season for some reason. But then again we weren't expecting twins. We are not going to be able to get anymore camping in this summer as I cant travel too far out of the area and the weather here in Boise has been awful and we just now got on our first camping trip this last weekend. Unfortunately it will be our last until maybe the fall if the babies are doing well. We did quite a bit of camping last year so I know that Morgan was kind of "used" to it, but this time around it was even more fun cause she is getting bigger and can do more stuff.

The weather was perfect!! We got up there pretty late Friday night so that was chilly, but Saturday was warm as well as Sunday morning. Morgan loved taking the dogs down to the water and throwing rocks in the water, we had to take a few trips down there to keep her entertained.

This trip I decided to let Morgan have her first Smore as well, she wasn't so sure what to think about it and picked at the marshmallow and then didn't like it when her hand got sticky.

We are hoping that September/October we will get a few more trips in, we took Morgan on her first trip when she was only 8 weeks old, but then again, it was only one baby so we will have to wait and see how things go.
