Introducing

Welcome to our new blog, we're the Delp's and 9 months ago we found out we were pregnant, and 8 months ago we found out we were pregnant with TWINS!!! That's how our family of 3 and a dog became 5 and a Dog! I'm Becky a now stay at home mom to three kiddos, who hopes to get back to being a pediatric PT at some point in time. Guy is my loving husband and wonderful father who has been very busy since about 28 wks into the pregnancy when as per my OBs twin protocol I was put on modified bedrest. Abigail is our two year old little girl who is loving being a great big sister to her new little brothers Justin and Ryan who were born on 9/29/08. Baby A is Justin and was born at 1:11pm weighing 8.4 lbs and 20.5 inches, and Baby B is Ryan he was born at 1:33pm and was 7.3 lbs and is 20 inches. Our Dog--is Zoey a Golden Retriever who will be 6 at the end of the month, yet she acts as if she's more like 10.

This blog is not only to keep friends and family up to date on the daily happenings in our crazy house but also to be honest about what life is like for our family of Five and a Dog. It is also a place to try and help me remember the upcoming year in years to come as not only does time fly but i've been told and have already started to experience that the first year of twins lives are such a blur and you just keep going through the motions trying to get by one day at a time and sometimes one hour at a time.


So many things have happened in the short time that our boys have come home from the hospital and I have missed so many little things already that I'd like to remember, but the past few days have really been somewhat of a blur--something quite common with any newborn, you can only imagine what it's like having two in addtion to a two year old.



Both boys are doing great and have been to the pediatrician once and don't have to go back until they are a month old. They are getting bigger and bigger everyday and although they're fraternal the look more and more alike as they grow. We call them the wrong names often, yet we haven't really mixed them up, but as Guy says at two in the morning when they're both swaddled and next to each other in the pack and play it's amazing how much they really do look alike. Ryan has shed his first tiny tear and to be honest we just missed getting it on camera and we're not even really sure what it was all about b/c as soon as it started it was over.

This is a basic introduction to our blog. Some days there may be a lot to say and others not so much. In the upcoming days I hope to go back and recount the boy's birth story as well as some other thoughts on having and raising twin boys, as well as a toddler. At first I'm sure it will be slanted towards the twins but have no fear Abigail will not be left out as the days and weeks go on. We hope you enjoy, read what is of interest and skip what isn't.
