I have been working in Georgia and my family is still in Florida. I feel bad that my wife has to be alone to do everything while I am away. She has been getting the babies room organized while her sister painted it for us. Thank you Annie, it looks great. My wife says that the babies are really kicking like crazy now and she can actually see them move. I can't wait to see that. As soon as school is out they will be coming to visit and I can't wait. Annie took this picture of Michell for the blog so the next picture you will see will be from Georgia. You've probably heard the stories. Twins "connecting" mentally, seeing or feeling what their twin is feeling and doing other unbelievable things. So is there any truth to this mysterious twin connection? Do these things really happen? I am at work now and kind of busy so I will write more later.Tuesday, May 22, 2007
21 Weeks - Daddy is in Georgia
This past week has been pretty tough.

Happy Mothers Day
To Mommy happy mother's day .I hope you are happy on mother's day and we both love you both Jay and I YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL YOU DO LOT'S FOR US WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO LOVE ALWAYS pumkin
20 Weeks
It's Mothers Day and I could not be more excited. We are still working on Middle names but I think we have one for Riley. What do you think of Kennedy? Riley Kennedy Stewart, it sounds very distinguished don't you think? We still want to find the middle name of Reese and are leaning towards Gisele. Reese Gisele Stewart is starting to grow on us and I think may stick. Last night we had dinner with Greg Blackwood at Riggins Crab house and asked him and Felisha to be the God Parents to Reese and Riley. We are very pleased to announce that they are happy to accept. What a great night we had and won't soon forget. I am leaving for Georgia tomorrow for work so I will take one more picture from our batroom tonight (where we have taken all of the previous pictures) and then we will have a new back drop in Georgia. I am so happy that my family will be with me this time!!!!Saturday, May 5, 2007
Whoops (mistake) ..... It's two girls
Something told me that it was too early to tell the sexes of the twins when we were first told. After the last visit to the doctor with the 4 D ultra sound we are almost sure it is two little darling girls which we will still name Reese and Riley. I could not be more surprised to find out yet, nevertheless happy as can be. It would be so neat to have identical twins but I am not opposed to fraternal either. There are pros and cons to both, I am just so excited to see the little beauties. My wife has been so terrific the past month but as of yesterday the hormones are raging once again. Sudden tears at the drop of the hat are no longer uncommon and for the time being I will do my best to be supportive and keep quiet. I know whats good for me!
THE PICTURES ARE STARTING WITH:
WEEK 8
WEEK 14
WEEK 14 SMILE
WEEK 19
MORE TO COME..........

How Amazing
I finally felt one of my babies kick. How strange to feel something that you and your wife created move for the first time. I am so amazed and excited. My wife is getting so big so soon. It is so fantastic to see her grow and know that she is carrying two babies. It is still so shocking to me that we are about to expand our family from 3 to 5 in the next few months.
My wife has been feeling the babies move for a few weeks now but until tonight I have not been able to feel anything. I am so happy that I actually felt one of my babies.
We have talked to other parents of twins. Many have told us that they were so busy and things changed so fast that the experience is just a blur when they think back. I write this blog both for ourselves and for our twins. We want to be able to relive the moments after the twins have grown up and left home. If the twins are interested when they grow up, they may choose to read this journal before having children of their own.
As a side product, this journal can also serve other parents who want to share our experience. This journal is about our experience in raising twins.

14 Weeks - I have got my wife back and we are changing doctors.
What a roller coaster we have been on the first trimester. All I can say is thank you for letting it end. My wife has been so fantastic the past few days and I am so happy. We went out to dinner last Friday night and she explained that she knew she has been pretty moody lately and that she was sorry. I really do appreciate the fact that she said that because I really did not know what the heck was going on with her. We have been getting along really well the past week and I attribute it all to the fact that we are over the first trimester. My wife is looking fantastic and glowing with her pregnancy and I am so pleased with the fact that we are out of the scary first 12 weeks. Not that it is not scary now, I am just happy to be this much closer to giving birth. I also have been trying to do more (rubbing her feet and back nightly) and for that I believe my wife has calmed down.
About the Doc- 5 foot nothing and full of attitude.
Let me start off by saying whatever my wife wants she gets. We were told our doctor was top notch by a great family friend and she just may be but as I told you before, my wife always gets what she wants. Last week when we all went to see her for the appointment, we had to wait in the waiting room for close to an hour. This in itself was enough to change doctors for my wife but not only did we wait, the doctor ran through the appointment at a rabbits pace. She seemed rushed and hurried through our questions. She even went as far to say that there is no way to tell the sex of the baby or hear a heart beat until 20 weeks. Hello, my wife just was told the sex yesterday as well as hearing the heartbeats. I liked the doctor myself but I do understand that my wife must love the person that is going to be in the room with us when she is going through horrific pain and I do expect honesty. If I was a jerk I should have told her "We know the sexes, my wife heard the heartbeats yesterday and your fired."
I am feeling more comfortable about the names Reese and Riley. My wife turned 34 yesterday and I gave her three birthday cards. One from me, our daughter and one from Reese and Riley. She said "Yeah, we are keeping the names Reese and Riley." So I guess there we have it unless Taylor our daughter has her way of changing Reese to Jack. Like I said, Reese was what I wanted for a girl and Riley for a boy but I am starting to like it reversed.

13 Weeks - It's a Boy and a Girl !!!!!
When I got home from work my wife was busting at the seams to tell me something. My daughter had a present and we all sat on my bed to open it up. I did and I saw two baby books, a pink one and a blue one. I can't even believe it, both a boy and a girl. Let me tell you how it went down. My wife went to get an ultrasound today at our doctor's office. Both babies were growing just at the right speed and the ultrasound tec took a few still shots. My wife was pleased with the results and left after the visit. A good friend of ours is also an ultrasound tech and my wife went to see her for a more detailed visit. She looked to see if she could tell her the sex of the babies. After she examined my wife for a few minutes she saw the boys parts and told my wife this is a boy. After a closer look she could tell the second one was a girl. It is still very early to tell but our friend told her that she is 99 % sure it is a boy and a girl but we will have to see in a few more weeks. My wife said that the girl was kicking the boy and they were both very active. She was able to listen to their heart beats and she was surprised at how much they were jumping around in there. We are scheduled for another ultrasound tomorrow and we are bringing our daughter. I can't wait to see it firsthand. My wife looks so cute now with her belly getting bigger. She sure is one sexy Mama!
Names.......... If it is a boy and a girl we think we will call them Reese and Riley. Our daughter still wants to call the boy Jack but I think my wife has decided. I want it to be Reese (girl) and Riley (boy) but my wife likes Reese (boy) Riley (girl). I think that we are setting them up for an butt beating at school if we do but we still have 6 months to decide.
