Welcome to Earth

They are a little early but as of May 22nd, Berkley and Bennett are finally here. They came out looking like aliens and weighing around five pounds each. Berkley was a little less than 5 and Bennett was a little more. They are healthy and growing too fast.


As far as being new parents we have no idea what we are doing. We make up reasons why they are crying or being fussy but honestly, we are just guessing. These kids are in for a long ride of us pretending we know stuff.


Luckily we kind of like them and for some reason don't mind being thrown up and peed on constantly. Deidre had their pictures taken by her friend at work (thanks Jaime you're awesome) and did great. For every picture we have one of Deidre and I doing the same pose in the same outfits.





I should put pictures of them crying and pooping because that's what they do most of the day. It has been a lot harder than I thought it would be taking care of them and I highly underestimated the work it takes for two. So far it's been worth it though.

And Twins

We found out a couple of moths ago that Deidre is pregnant. The first thing we did was listen to every song with the word "baby" on our iPod and then rocked out in the kitchen. After hearing too many Brittany Spears songs we realized we needed a way for me to keep the news a secret. Luckily, I had thought of this years ago and decided to fake announce baby news at every family get-together. I might have even started in high school, just to scare mom and dad. So if some of you still don't believe us its understandable. After wanting and trying for a kid for what was maybe the hardest time in our lives we can truthfully say Deidre is pregnant. With twins.



There are a couple of reasons I know Deidre is pregnant. First, she stepped on the scale in our bathroom last night and it literally broke. We thought it might just need new batteries but nope,the best fat joke ever happened and I witnessed it firsthand. My life is complete. Second, our car smells like barf and she has thrown up at Souplantation, Arctic circle, and in and out. Article circle is understandable but not in and out or souplatation. The main reason I know she's pregnant is because she had her 18 week doctors appointment yesterday and both babies had good strong heartbeats.



They did an ultrasound and have told us that we are having a boy and a girl. While it is still early and we will find out for sure next wednesday on the sex, we know they are not identical. I was hoping to put them in commercials but I haven't seen any with fraternal twins. Dang you double mint gum advertisers.



As for other news I am no longer the undefeated girls basketball coach at pine view high. Mom and jason came and saw me lose our first sophomore game. I'm sorry they drove all the way to come see that. As you can kinda tell from the picture, the girls appreciated all the support they could get. Not a lot of people come to those games. Weird. I love coaching and start my student teaching on Tuesday. I feel lucky to have our family of four on its way and thankful to everyone who has helped us. Parenting,teaching,and coaching advice is welcomed.
