I come to this world and anticipate snuggles, hugs, and kisses...
What do I really get?
A Bath! Whose idea of fun is this.

We're The Big Kids Now
Today was the day. Our babies are here!
We were just this excited!
Hi little baby dudes.
Now to work on getting you home!
The boys are here!!!!
guest writer-Tammy (sis-in-law)
Welcome to the world little Luke Michael and Maxwell Henry Thornton!
Luke Michael
4lbs. 2oz.
17 inches
6:46 am
Maxwell Henry
3 lbs. 1 1/2 oz.
Just over 16 inches long
6:48 am
Elizabeth will be posting the full birth story of her twins, but I just wanted to post a few details. She went into labor early this morning and was able to get an epidural just in time to deliver. She barely pushed and the boys were here! She had Luke Michael at 6:46 and not but two minutes later did Maxwell Henry arrive. We are glad that she and the babies are healthy and doing well.
Because the boys were born early (32 weeks 1 day) they will be spending some time in the NICU. They will probably be there for 3-6 weeks--long enough that they can breathe on their own, eat on their own and gain some weight. Not too uncommon for twins that are born early. Other than being on a CPAP (helps keep the lungs open) they are doing well.
Enjoy the photos!
Had to take photos of the names, so I wouldn't get the two confused! They don't look exactly alike, but they sure are tiny little babies and at first, it's hard to tell them apart.
Elizabeth's Mom and Dad holding little Luke. He is so tiny!!!
Little fingers.
The CPAP machine. He was holding on to it.
Big brother Ryker! He was so excited to see his babies. What a fun household they will have. Love having boys.
Such happy faces! Michelle and Ryker give the best smiles.
Proud Daddy and Ryker standing by Luke

Tiny toes
Elizabeth sure is looking good for going on 6 weeks hospital bed rest and then giving birth to two babes! She is one tough cookie. Congrats momma!!!
Now onto Maxwell Henry!
He was a little bruised from being poked and also from being jabbed on by his brother.
Ryker and Daddy. Love the smile Ryker!!!
There's a happy face!
Can you believe we're missing two kids?!?! Michelle and Luke. Can't believe Tory and Elizabeth have twins! They just doubled their kids. :)
Such tiny legs and feet. So precious and soft.
Such love already for these two little guys. They sure came to a good family.
Happy and proud parents!
Sleep tight little one!
Congrats Tory, Elizabeth, Michelle and Ryker!!! What a happy ending to 2010. We love you guys and can't wait to hold Luke and Max. They are adorable.
Cute Little name signs. Glad they get to share a room. Just had to throw that one in. :)

I'll be home for Christmas...
If only in my dreams.
Guest writer: Mommy
I didn't get to spend Christmas morning in my home with my loved ones. But they were wonderful to take oodles of pictures so that I can enjoy the moments too.
Presents galore!
What did Santa bring you two? A Radio Flyer tricycle and real fancy schmancy camera.
Checking out the goods.
And Daddy was so good, Santa gave him something to cook with, a Dutch Oven. Notice that it is Daddy, not Mommy, getting the cooking instrument.
And a special gift for Mommy. Two years ago Daddy got Mommy something so amazing that she started to cry. It was a print of painting that they had fallen in love with very early in their relationship. He had found the artist online and had the print shipped to her directly from the artist's gallery. This year, Daddy went had it framed. It is so beautiful!
Well, I might not have been able to wake up with my family at home on Christmas morning, but I woke up with the babies still in my tummy baking so this was a good Christmas after all.

Christmas Eve in Antepartum
Guest Writer: Mommy
Certain traditions must remain, even if I am stuck in a hospital gestating babies. One important one is the traditional Christmas Eve gift.
What could it be?
A surprise?
The anticipation is killing me!
The all important geeky pajamas!
Now, only one more sleep till Christmas Day.
The Day Before Christmas
Once again this year, my nurse out did herself. Remember last year and how absolutely amazing it was. Well this year was even better.
Presents bigger than we are!
Scooters!!!
My own moon.
A real MP3 player and super stylin' headphones, just for me.
Some awesome new kits to go with our Potato Heads.
Enjoying our hopscotch set. Now this was good practice for Christmas Morning itself!
