Books of the Bible

I have been working on the books of the Bible with Graham and the first day, he said "Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Carter" It cracked me up and I wanted to get it on video, but of course, now he won't say it again. All is well with the 3 Geshke boys ... can't believe Luke and Carter will be 1 month old tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Graham

I know every mother says it, but you're going to hear it from me, too ... I can't believe my baby boy is 2 years old!!!!! Where has the time gone? They truly have been 2 incredible years, and I love my big boy with all of my heart. He seems especially big to me lately with these tiny little babies I'm holding all of the time now. He really is growing up, and I'm loving his stage right now with his endless energy and how he is a true sponge learning new things daily. I feel so blessed to stay home with him and would not give back a single second of all our time spent together over the past 2 years. I love you, Graham, and hope your birthday was special!!

Robin's Visit

My college roommate, Robin, came for a quick visit to get her hands on the boys. It was wonderful having her here and she really was a big help. We decided that her daughter, Anna, who turns 1 next week will have her pick of boyfriends in just my family alone :) All 3 of my boys are doing great ... Graham is enjoying school (he goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-2:30) and still very interested in his baby brothers and MOSTLY gentle with them. Luke (the bigger one) is a bit more feisty and almost always the first one to wake in the night ... they are typically down by 10:00 and up for feedings around 1ish and 5ish. And Carter is my sweet, content baby boy and very patient. They go for a check-up next week, so we'll see how much they weigh and get a report on them ... I'll keep you posted.

Robin and I did a little photo shoot of the boys ... how cute is this one?!?!?

Bet Bet

My mom left yesterday after being here with us for 13 days. I really don't know what we would have done without her. She cooked, cleaned, held babies, got up with and played with Graham, and so much more. It truly was such a special time with her, and I'll never forget it and never be able to thank her enough for all she did. You're welcome back ANY time Bet Bet ... we LOVE you!!!!!!

Diapers

Well, we have oficially gone through 21 diapers in the last 24 hours at the Geshke house :) That is almost one an hour!! Things are still going well over here and my mom is staying through the weekend. I sure will miss her next week. Here is an album of pics I put together of our first week in case some of you haven't seen them: http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=8od0v6o9.8fwwma79&x=0&y=-nxzsrp&localeid=en_US&cm_mmc=site_email-_-site_share-_-core-_-view_photos_button

Carter, Graham, and Luke

First Day of School

This morning was definitely a crazier one. My mom and I had to take the boys to the doctor for a check-up at 8:45 and Graham had to be at his first day of school at 9:00. We did make it out the door all dressed and only a little late :) Kevin dropped Graham off and I picked him up ... his teacher said that he had a great day and the only time he got upset was when I got there and he had to leave his paci in his bin. I was pretty bummed that he was crying and I couldn't pick him up and comfort him. I'm definitely missing my one-on-one Graham time. Poor little buddy is having so many changes all at once, but he his doing well with it and he really does love his little brothers. Speaking of, they had a great doctor's report. Luke weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz. and Carter weighed 5 lbs. 7.5 oz. and their dr. was really pleased with their progress!! More pics of them coming soon.

Swinging

Home Sweet Home

It has been very nice being home and all is going well. Our first night was better than the second, but I really don't have too much to complain about. Luke and Carter are such sweet little boys and Graham is being a good big brother. It sure is nice having all 4 grandparents here to help out and especially entertain Graham. I'm still in a pretty good amount of pain but know that I will feel better soon. I sure am loving being a mommy of 3 precious little boys!!!

They love being next to each other and definitely notice when the other one is gone

The Twins have arrived!!!!!!!

After what seemed like the longest pregnancy ever, our sweet little twin boys have finally arrived. Luke Golden Geshke arrived at 12:23 p.m. on Sept. 1 weighing 7 lbs. 1 oz and measured 19 in. and Carter Kemmons Geshke arrived at 12:24 p.m. on Sept. 1 weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. and measured 18 in. I had a somewhat scary emergency c-section, but all is well and we're all healthy and now home. Big brother Graham is doing well with them and likes to know what they are doing all of the time :) Well, I'm about to feed these little guys and hit the sack ... I'm pretty exhausted. I'll hopefully update tomorrow with some more pics.
