Rough week!!
So I kind of had a rough week last week!! I had some pain in the right side of my back last Wednesday that was accompanied by some lower abdominal pain. I decided to go into the doctor last friday to make sure I didn't have a bladder or kidney infection before the weekend. Everything looked fine and I was sent home for the weekend. Over the weekend the pain went away and I thought everything was fine.... Well I was wrong!! Monday at about 4 am I woke up with really bad pain in the right side of my back again. I couldn't get comfortable so I took a hot bath and put a rice pack on my back and went back to bed. Josh left early to go do a job at Zions so I was home alone with the babies. When he left I felt ok because I was still laying down. Well when the babies started fussing a little after 7 I got up and had the worst jolt of pain all through my back. It was so bad that I was feeling really sick to my stomach. I got Mason out of bed and changed him... and as I was headed back upstairs I felt like I was going to pass out so I had to lay down in the hallway! I didn't have a phone next to me or I might have even called 911!!! Finally the pain passed enough to get Maddox out of bed. I called my doctor and it was Presidents day so he told me to go to the Emergency room or an insta care place. So... me being stupid decide I need to shower and put on my makeup before I head to the ER. I called Josh's parents and drove the babies down to their house. Then I drove myself to the ER with the window down (keep in mind it was like 25 degrees out). When I got there I told the girl my pain was a 9 or 10 and I really needed to lay down fast. Well it still took me 30 minutes to get back. Anyways... once the doctor saw me and the amount of pain I was in, he was sure it was a kidney stone. They gave me some pain killers fast and then later did a catscan to confirm that it was in fact a kidney stone!! Josh finished his job and came to pick me up at the ER. When we left the doctor said that the kidney stone was pretty large and I might not be able to pass it on my own. So... he told me to come back in to the ER if the pain got worse because the chances of getting in to a urologist fast were pretty slim (there is only one in Davis county). Luckily the next day I called the Urologist and he fit me in to see him. He said I definitely wouldn't be able to pass the stone on my own because it was between 6-7mm.... that is about the size of an eraser on your pencil. So... he fit me in to his surgery day which was Wednesday! So I ended up having surgery the next day. He was able to break the stone up in lots of pieces and pull out the fragments!! So... I am now stone free!! Yeahhh!! Anyways... I will have to agree with the people who say kidney stones are the most painful thing ever!! The doctor said it is likely it developed while I was pregnant with the twins and just recently left my kidney!! So... I am really hoping that I don't ever get one again!

Birthday Party
So I just really haven't felt like blogging the past couple of weeks, but I really wanted to put some of the boys cake pictures up (even though their bday was over 2 weeks ago)! We were going to have a fun party for them, but the day before the party we took Mason in to the doctor and found out that he had RSV... we didn't want to infect everyone elses kids, so we cancelled the party! He didn't have it way bad luckily, but bad enough that we didn't think company was a good idea!! So we still had smash cakes for them and Josh's Mom and Stan came over to watch them eat their cake! As you can see, they loved it!!

The twins are 1!!!
I can't believe it.... the boys turned 1 on Saturday!! The last year has gone by so fast... my tiny babies are getting big so fast. Although it is sad that they aren't tiny anymore, I do love all the stages that they have gone through. From the 4 and 5 pound little guys that kept us up all night, to the 6 month olds who couldn't move well yet and were just happy to play in their saucers.... to the extremely mobile and funny 1 year olds, every step has been great.
I love that they both have their own sense of humor. I love watching them and seeing them laugh when nobody is trying to make them laugh. I love watching them interact with eachother.... even though a lot of the time they are fighting (Unfortunately they are both biters)!! I love Mason's energy... he is definitely his Daddy's child.... He is always moving and exploring. He loves chasing Bruno (our dog). Another funny thing he has been doing lately is carrying this stuffed baseball around in his mouth like a dog.. He will literally crawl around for minutes with it in his mouth! Mason is a little tease. He likes to pretend like he is giving us his binkie... and then he will take it back and put it in his mouth!! He now says, "dog, ball, moma, dad, baba, and papa." It is amazing how different they are. They have such different little personalities. Maddox is much like me in temperment. Very mellow and content to just hang out. He does love to explore, but once he gets to whatever he is wanting he will just lie down and play with it on his back!! Maddox is our little Ham... He has a goofy personality and thinks just about anything Josh does is funny. One of the funny things he has been doing for a while is shaking his head no..no. He understands what it means, but that doesn't stop him from getting into things he shouldn't! He also is shaking his head yes (Very exaggerated). They both play pattie cake and clap yeah!! They both love to immitate sounds, and are very good at making any noise we can make!!
Josh and I have had quite the year with our sweet little boys. I don't think there is anything you can do to prepare yourself for being a Mom, or for being a Mom of twins for that matter (or a dad). I will have to say that I was very naive!! I had no idea what I was in for! I am grateful that Josh has always been so willing to be a hands on Dad. He has changed more diapers and given more baths than most Dad's I am guessing. I am also grateful for my Mom and all the help she gave me in the first 8 weeks. She sacrificed a lot to be here and help get me through. I am also grateful for Josh's family and all the help they continue to offer... we are truly a lucky family. As hard as it is somedays to be a stay at home mom, I am so grateful that I am home with them. I love watching them change every day, and seeing them do things for the first time. I don't think I had any idea of my capacity to love until the twins were born. It is amazing how quickly and deeply you fall in love with your children. Before I had the boys my Moms best friend gave me a card and in it she said, "Motherhood is Heavenly Father's greatest gift to women." It really is and I am so grateful to be the Mama to these two beautiful boys! Happy birthday boys!
