Wednesday is a big BIG day for me. I'm letting go of the last possibility that I will carry more children in this life. I'm finding closure. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been in pain pretty much since the day I "blossomed" (HA!) back in 4th grade. Yes, you heard that right. And I'm not sure that I know what a pain-free day is like for a woman. After 3 very necessary surgeries and clean-ups in the past 14 years, my doctor finally mentioned the big word to me 3 years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hysterectomy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I wasn't ready to hear it. The "H" word had been preceded in the conversation by Stage 4 Endometriosis, complex cysts, and "It doesn't get much worse than this." I just sat there letting it sink in and not wanting to hear it. I wanted to say WAIT! I haven't had my babies yet. I haven't felt that joyous movement from inside me. I have NEVER had a positive pregnancy test. I haven't had an ultrasound where anyone smiled and measured a heartbeat. I've tried and tried so hard. I just did In Vitro twice last summer, and it broke my heart into a million little pieces. It's just not FAIR....Please don't take my hope from me. Let me have one more moment of possibility...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it came out as "... Not yet."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fortunately, my doctor is an ANGEL and not only did she not push the matter, but she was inspired to help me prepare for one last attempt at In Vitro. She put me on certain medications that would help me temporarily and lead me right up to the moment when I met with Dr. Awesome in Salt Lake City. See <a href="http://www.kevnik.blogspot.com/2011/09/so-thankful.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read more about him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 years later, and 2 miracle BABIES later.... I sat across from my doctor and she said the "H" word again. This time I'm ready.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I'm SOOOOOO very excited to be free. I've jokingly mentioned for years that my womanly innards were just mocking me anyway. And Kevin and I are so grateful for the 3 miracles that we get to kiss and hug and tuck into their beds at night. We are so content. We are grateful. We are overwhelmed to be called their Daddy and Mommy. And we feel very undeserving of their precious love. Everyday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I'm starting a new chapter in my life. Physical strength, hopefully free from pain! And watching my children grow (which I cherish daily anyway), knowing that my family is complete.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel so relieved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel free from the burden of infertility finally, though I will NEVER forget the struggle and journey. It's made me the woman, wife, and mother that I am today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel FREE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See you on the other side. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love,</div>

This Memorial Day brought the fulfillment of a very special promise. My grandfather died 10 years ago this Easter time at the age of 93. I've missed him so much since then. When he passed, he was quite frail and often had brief moments when he did not recognize those who loved him dearly. But I will always remember when my grandpa was strong enough to pick me up and bounce me on his hip when I was little. He used to call me his "imagination maker." It was wonderful to see so much of my Gardner family again at Grandpa's funeral. Aunts, Uncles, and cousins cousins cousins! Some of us hadn't been in the same room for many years. The day after his service, several of the family made the drive to Star Valley Wyoming where Grandpa was laid to rest. It broke my heart, but I woke up very sick that morning and couldn't make the trip. Kevin promised me that one day he would take me to see my Grandpa once again.</div>

Grandma passed away two years ago at the age of 97. And TODAY would be her 100th birthday! We're thinking of you today and always, Grandma. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My last experience with my Grandma on this earth is a very tender one. I was staying with family in Utah that March, 2011 and Kevin and I were undergoing our very last attempt at in vitro. My mom stayed with me for about three weeks during that time to help with Noah and with the whole process. Mom wanted to spend some time with Grandma while she was there, so she picked her up and brought her to my brother's house where we were staying. I often felt that Grandma wasn't 100% with us toward the end of her life. She didn't recognize where she was a lot of the time and she would fret and worry a lot about being away from familiar things. But as my mom took her by the arm and walked her into the house, I met Grandma face to face and said "Hi Grandma." She looked right at me, and it was like her eyes cleared. She smiled and put her hand on my face like she always did and I knew that she recognized me for a brief window of time. I knew that she was truly with me for right then. It was all I needed. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom recalls another amazing moment with Grandma during that trip and during my IVF experience. Grandma lived with my amazing uncle and aunt until she passed and Mom was there visiting one evening. She and my aunt were talking very quietly about how I was doing and how everything was going with the doctors. No one had said anything to Grandma about what I was going through or that, once again and for the last time, I was trying have a baby. When Mom said goodnight, Grandma gave her a hug and clear as day said, "Tell Nicole that it will all be okay." Mom was shocked by how lucid Grandma was and how strong her words were. I think maybe Grandma was close to passing through the veil and perhaps was even surrounded by those who have passed and those who were coming soon. :)</div>

This May Kevin kept his promise and took us all to see Grandpa and Grandma once again. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that special fulfillment would have been enough. But MY dad and mom also flew into Salt Lake City and drove up to meet us so we could go together. It was an amazing day and it couldn't have been prettier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was very pregnant( and SOOOOOOO ecstatic!!!) and expecting TWINS when Grandma died, so I couldn't be at her funeral. This was a beautiful day to be able to see them both and to bring my children to "meet" them. Noah remembers Grandma very fondly. And Mom hadn't been back since Grandma's grave marker was placed.</div>

I love that my children have very tender relationships with their great-grandparents. How amazing that they even know them! The last of my great-grandparents passed away the year that I was born, so I have no memories or connections with them other than that I can't WAIT to meet them after this life and to know them as family and as a part of who I am. As the oldest, Noah has been able to know and love <b><span style="font-size: large;">6 </span></b>of his great-grandparents. Lucky LUCKY boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent this Memorial Day weekend catching up with Grandma and Grandpa Stephie in Logan, UT. I <b>LOVE</b> everything about their home and am constantly flooded with childhood memories whenever I visit. I smile when I observe Noah and his little cousins exploring all the closets and secret rooms and finding the old toys that we all used to play with when we were that age. It's a truly beautiful place. With two of my absolute FAVORITE people inside. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I <b>L-O-V-E</b> seeing Xiomara with Grandma Stephie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Xio is named after my Grandma and is so very much like her. See <b><a href="http://www.kevnik.blogspot.com/2012/02/whats-in-her-name.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b> for more info on that. :)</div>

So I can't WAIT for you all to be the judge. Here are some pictures that I love to compare, especially now that all three of us are about the same age in these photos. Xio definitely has SMITH in her. But I think she's a Stephenson girl, down to the dimple and feistyness.</div>

After a nice Easter Sunday nap, the Smith kiddos had an Easter egg hunt in the living room. They laughed as I told them about how there was ALWAYS an egg hidden on Grandpa's coo coo clock when I was a little girl. Always. We found some pretty awesome hiding places as well and the kids had a blast together. It wasn't the most challenging egg hunt that Noah has participated in, but I think he lost himself in the moment with Liam and Xio.</div>

Easter is a wonderful, amazing time of year. It brings renewal to life through Spring and flowers and grass, and sometimes crawling things. More importantly, Easter brings renewal of testimony and commitment to the Savior as we reflect upon His love for us. This Easter was just awesome. :)</div>

It's funny but for the last three years our small family has been assigned to clean our church building the weekend of Easter. And we showed up again this last Saturday to help beautify the chapel and get everything ready for the next day. As I was about 45 minutes into vacuuming cheerios and other weeks old tidbits from the very corners under each pew, I smiled to myself. A lot of times lately I feel like I haven't been able to look after my family and friends, and take care of my neighbors the way I'd hoped. But there Kevin and I were vacuuming the chapel, and my Noah was hopping around looking for crayons and toys on the floor that he could throw into the lost and found. And the babes were chilling in the stroller and munching on apple slices. My heart was happy. I could do THAT. This Easter, I did that for my Savior. It wasn't much, but it was something. :)</div>

I realized that I never posted pictures on the blog of the twins' first Easter. And we had way too much fun this year. So here you have it. Loads of pictures... The good, the not so good, and just plain bloopers!</div>

Our first Christmas with the babies was an absolutely MAGICAL time. That whole winter and early spring we spent all day everyday feeding them, changing their little patooties, and getting very little sleep. And we NEVER left the house with them, except for doctors appointments and their once a month RSV vaccination (which I am SOOOOOO thankful that they received...). My mom stayed with us until December 17th and then she flew home to be with Dad for Christmas and to actually LIVE there again. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Christmas preparations were kept at a minimum since no one really had the energy to do great big things. By some miracle (probably named KaraLee Stephenson!) we decorated a tree and made a few sugar cookies. I was so happy when I picked out and ordered 2 new stockings for our mantel. Looking back, I'm so glad that we spent that first Christmas just snuggled together in our warm home while Noah and the babies just loved on each other.</div>

Christmas fell on a Sunday in 2011, if you remember, and we decided to take the little ones to church for the first time that day. They didn't go back to church until the end of April after that because of RSV season, but we are glad that we went as a family for Christmas. Then we all came home, ate, and took a NAP...</div>

Noah has a great new view on life... As of this last week, he is now the FIRST member of our little family to ever wear GLASSES!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is so excited, too. I'm SOOOOOO glad that he thinks glasses are super cool and he feels really handsome when he wears them....</div>

It turns out that Noah actually has better than 20/20 vision up close, but seeing in the distance gives him a little trouble. So Dr. Awesome Optometrist wants to give him a little help for now. Dr. Awesome said that if Noes were to try to pass the eye exam to get a drivers license right now he would fail. A funny thought since I can't get the fact that he's 6 out of my head!</div>

I LOVE the picture at the top. I told Noah that he looked like Anakin in the pod race when the doctor checked his eyes with that doohickey. I was grateful when the doc suggested that I take a picture so that Noah could see. :)</div>

They are perfect for him. Very edgy, but very classy. I encouraged him to try on about 4 or 5 other pairs just for comparison. He even said the he looked like "a professor" in one of them. But we both knew that he'd found his perfect pair.</div>

So we had to make this year a memorable one for sure. Noah had his very first sleepover on his birthday with his best friend, Ryan. It was action-packed, hamburger grillin', cake devourin', presents revealin', pirate tent sleepin', chocolate chip pancake cookin', Indiana Jones costume wearin' <span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><b>FUN.</b></span></div>

My munchkins LOOOOOOOVE to eat. And they actually will eat FRUIT... something that I could NEVER get Noah to do. Oh, he would eat bananas and applesauce. But never an actual apple slice. It's okay though. He's still growing strong and I'm having a lot more luck with his food choices now that he's getting older (phew!). Liam and Xio can't get enough of whatever I put in front of them and it makes me so happy. At least until they decide that they've eaten enough of the deliciousness in front of them...<br />
<br />
And they throw it to the dog.<br />
<br />
Awesome. :)<br />

I have reached the next stage in motherhood.... Again. I remember it very well when Noah started walking. My babies are now toddlers (almost 16 months to be exact), and there is not much "baby" left in them if at all. I find myself dreaming of little jammies and socks and pacifiers and smelling newborn scents and blankets and soft soft things.<br />
<br />
I want another baby. Maybe 2. :)<br />
<br />
It's been the topic of a few quiet but sweet conversations between Kevin and myself lately. Always ending with a long warm hug and an "I love you...." And then the familiar heartache of knowing that it's never really been our choice and never really been in our control. It's been the subject of so many prayers and pleadings with God over the last 13 years of our amazing marriage. But it's never EVER been our decision. Whether or not we would bring home a baby has always been under someone else's power.... and according to God's will.<br />
<br />
I know that I have to let go now. And accept that I am done with the tiny diapers and jammies and soft soft things. And I can... By being thankful with every breath that I have for the 3 miracle babies that I DID bring home. I feel so very blessed. I am complete in this moment. <br />
<br />
As part of my "catching up" with everything, I wanted to share a very special moment that took place on Sunday, November 20, 2011. Liam and Xiomara were given a name and a blessing by their daddy in our home. They were just about 6 weeks old (37 weeks gestation) and had been home for 2 weeks. We basically kept them shut away from everyone and everything that winter and spring because of RSV season. But we were so glad to have some good friends there to celebrate that special occasion. It was a day that I had dreamed about and hoped for for a long time. :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Liam... This special blanket was made by Grandma Stephie when Noah was born<br />
and was also used for Noah's blessing.</div>

It's a SNOW DAY!!!! Just last week Noah was bemoaning the fact that we may not have a white Christmas... Then Ta-Da! Blizzard warning last night and snow until sun up. :) I just couldn't wait to get the babes out in it after breakfast. First encounter with snow is priceless.<br />

Don't worry. I didn't keep them out there but for a few minutes and they were frozen!!! Next year it will be snow boots, bibs, mittens, and frozen cheeks all the way. In the meantime, I think they're content to watch Brother play through the window while the fire warms their little tushies. :)</div>

My big BIG <span style="font-size: x-large;">B-I-G</span> project lately has been to go back through all the pictures and videos of this last crazy year and organize them, back them up, and try to share some special times through our blog and other outlets. :) It's been very therapeutic for me to look through these thousands of files and soak in the sweetness of the babes and Noah again and again. I came across a series of photos that I tried to take with my phone one morning after a feeding. Noah was at preschool, Kevin was at work, and Mom was out running my errands for me. I found myself in a quiet moment with the babies...<br />
<br />
It was heavenly. I can still smell them under my chin and feel their breath on my cheeks. <br />

BTW - the photo at the very top is one of my absolute FAVORITES. I tandem nursed the babies until they were about 3 months old (why I stopped is another post... coming soon). At one point I looked down and they were HOLDING HANDS!!!! It was so precious. I'll never forget it.<br />
<br />
Enjoy today. It is my birthday and I am enjoying the things that matter most. :)<br />

Christmas cookies are a long-standing tradition for us Stephenson-Smith's... Sweet buttercream frosting (my mom's recipe!), sprinkles, red and green sugar, red hots, and lots and lots of love. Santa usually gets the creme of the crop, hand picked by everyone and laid on a special plate. Rudolph's plate has a special place next to Santa's, filled with peanut butter and carrots. But oh, the cookies...<br />
<br />
Last year's cookies took an interesting twist. Maybe it's because I had 2 month old twins and was pumping about 50 to 60 ounces of milk a day for the little sweeties. Maybe it's because it was all I could think about and every hour of my life revolved around hooking myself up to that blessed little machine. It doesn't really matter WHY it happened... I didn't even recognize that I was doing it until I took a closer look at the finished products later that day. It was then I realized... It was true.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd made <b><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">cookie boobs</span>.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
No joke. Can you spot them below?<br />

<br />
Yeah. And by some strange series of decorating events, I just happened to make them in sets of<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>2</b></span>. </span> Whenever we use sprinkles on anything, I always lay down a plate for each of us in order to minimize the mess. It just so happened that the plates I chose that fateful day were big enough to hold 2 freshly frosted cookies at one time and I always try to keep them coming so Noah doesn't get bored. So I also ended up with 2 freshly frosted cookies on MY plate and decorated them together.<br />
<br />
Kind of feel like you should look away, right?<br />

...... (HEAVY SIGH)..... <br />

I didn't point out the obvious to Noah, although the look on his face does imply that he knew.<br />

I love the look on Xiomara's face... Pretty much the same look that the babes have whenever Noah comes into the room.<br />
<br />

One year ago this Tuesday, November 6th, Liam and Xiomara left the hospital for good and came home to their family. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They were 4 weeks old, and technically only 35 weeks gestation. We were soooooo ready! The neonatologist suggested that I do a full 24 hour shift at the hospital before the babes came home. It was such a good thing, because I was so afraid for the babies to not have their alarms on anymore. So when I stayed with them overnight and the next day, the nurses actually turned off the visual and audio for the alarms inside their room. The nurses, of course, could still hear and see the alarms at their stations just in case. But it gave me the chance to just WATCH my babes, monitor their coloring around their mouths and observe their breathing with my own eyes. I felt very confident after doing that with them. I was still very nervous about bringing Xiomara home, however. She was so fragile, still needing us to "side feed" her. We needed to cradle her little head and lay her on her side as we gave her a bottle. She had only gained 0.1 ounce in the two days before she was discharged, and I wasn't sure it was the right thing to bring her home. But her doctor was confident and told us that we would be surprised just how much she would thrive when she's home with her family. He was very right, of course. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But we were still cautious. Mom, Kevin, and I made sure that the babies were not left alone in a room. EVER. It was kind of the unspoken rule. We learned very quickly after coming home that it was not enough just to be in the same room with them. We needed to WATCH them. The babes had been home for a few hours and we had them in their bouncy seats in the living room. I was moving a few things around in the kitchen and just happened to look over at Xio and saw that she was blue around her mouth. I was over to her in two steps, picked her up, and patted her back to stimulate her. Up came a huge bubble and her color immediately returned. If she'd been in the NICU, her alarms would have been singing. I just looked over at Kevin and Mom and we all breathed a sigh of relief.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking back, I remember thinking that I may never sleep very deeply ever again. I didn't want to take my eyes off of them that first night. But we didn't get much rest anyway from all the feedings. :) Maybe it was a blessing until they grew a little stronger. Liam weighed 5 lbs 6.6 oz at discharge, and Xiomara just BARELY made it to the "5 pound club" before she left, weighing 5 lbs 0.9 oz. What little munchkins they were!!!!!</div>

Kevin getting them all strapped in for the ride home. They both passed their "car seat" tests the day before. The NICU staff put the babies in their car seats and monitored their vitals for about 90 minutes, just to make sure that the sitting position didn't put stress on their heart or lungs. <br />

This is the white board in the NICU room. It was a lot of fun for us to see the sweet messages left by each nurse as she came on shift. </div>

Just some of the AMAZING nurses that watched over our darlings while they were in the hospital. This is Mary, "Original Sarah," and Jennifer. Mary always seemed to know when I needed a hug. When Kevin and our friend Mike went to give the babies their first priesthood blessings at 1 week old, Mary was on duty and was so supportive. I mentioned that Kevin and Mike were going to anoint the babies with consecrated oil, wondering if that would be okay. She just smiled warmly, pointed to the cross around her neck, and said, "How wonderful." Sarah is known as "Original Sarah" because she was in the operating room during my c-section and they handed Xiomara to her. I remember she winked at me when she stopped just long enough for me to blow Xio a kiss before she was whisked away to the waiting NICU team. And Jennifer is a true angel. One day while I was in Xiomara's room, I heard Liam start to fuss in his isolette. Before I could go to check on him, Jennifer was right there next to him, gently patting his back and singing to him. I don't think she knew I was there, but I had tears in my eyes when I saw it. These women and all the others that watched over my little ones are the ONLY reason that I had the strength to leave them there at the hospital every night. I knew they were among angels. :)<br />

This is quite the familiar scene from the babies' first months of life. They slept in these WONDERFUL rock n' sleepers, which glided easily over carpet and kept their little heads elevated perfectly. They were so easy to move from our bedroom to the nursery and back, depending on who was taking the midnight, 2:00am, and 4:30am feedings. Man, good times, but such a blur...<br />

I'll leave you with a few videos. This is Noah greeting the babes as they came home, and Kevin and I in the car on the ride home from the hospital. I think I sound giddy!<br />
<br />
Enjoy today. It is a gift.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Nicole<br />

My babies are officially ONE YEAR OLD! Actually, they are now just a few days away from being 13 months. They prove to me in new ways everyday just how big they are and how much they want to grow and conquer new things. Liam is ready to take off and walk at any time. I'm doing my best to try to capture this and many other major moments on camera if possible. But honestly, I'm so content to just sit back and soak it all in... I find myself just sitting on the floor with them and smiling as they play. I don't want to rush any of this.<br />
<br />
The babies' birthday was everything I'd hoped for! It was laid back and really just all about them. And it was about Noah... Helping them open presents, singing to them, reading to them, playing with their new toys when he thought we weren't looking, helping to decorate their cakes, and loving that he's the BEST big brother the world has ever known.<br />
<br />
The waiting presents and decorating the house...<br />

Can't wait to see what the munchkins will do tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm going to try to take advantage of the extra hour of sleep that we supposedly gained last night. The children rose bright and early, but were also ready for bed by 5:00pm tonight. Hence, the reason why this blog post is happening. :)<br />
<br />
Be good, K?<br />

We couldn't resist, Okay? Noah was already set on being Anakin Skywalker this Halloween. And we have twins... a boy and a girl. Hmmmm..... what could they be? Oh, what could they be? I was so excited to have a Star Wars family Halloween! I even ordered a Yoda costume for Miss Abbie, but alas it didn't fit her so we sent it back and gave Abbie the year off. I think she's eternally grateful. :)<br />
<br />
Our Halloween started with a Trunk Or Treat at our church, followed by a chilly night of trick or treating. Noah ran as fast as he could from house to house with his pack of friends, and the adults and babies did our best to follow, direct traffic, greet other parents as we passed each other on narrow sidewalks, and pick up after Abbie (she got to tag along for the night). As Master Yoda would say, A good time it was.<br />
<br />
The force is strong with these 3.... Heaven help us. :)<br />
<br />
At the Trunk Or Treat... The Princess kept taking off her super awesome hair. She'd had enough already.<br />

I am SOOOOOOOO tired today. Kudos to my parents for all the amazing Halloweens that we had growing up. I don't know how you did it year after year. And I totally understand if you want to confess that you pilfered some of our candy when we weren't looking... You deserved it. At least that's what I'll tell Noah in about 20 years!<br />

One year ago this week my sweet babes were tucked in safely at the NICU, feeding through a tube down their perfect little button noses. I was elated, overwhelmed, EXHAUSTED, overjoyed, and sooooooooooooooo happy. My little ones, my miracle IVF babies, had made it to 31 weeks and 1 day before they were born. Their little lungs were premature, but healthy. Their hearts were strong, but still a little fragile. They were just tiny and needed to stay in the hospital until they could learn to eat. We longed for the day when we could bring them home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This morning, I had to use my leg muscles as I lifted up both of my babes to bring them downstairs to breakfast. All together, they weigh just under 41 pounds. Heavens!!! They giggle as I bounce them on my hips to the tune of their favorite songs. I do my best to keep the cheerios coming and spoon yogurt to them as they eat. I am elated, overwhelmed, not so exhausted now, completely overjoyed, and happy beyond description.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought a little picture comparison would say more than I could write this morning. Here are some pictures of Liam and Xiomara, first at three weeks old in the NICU, and next at one year old lying next to the same little outfits that they wore in the hospital. The picture at the top of this post is just to show how TINY these little outfits are compared to a dollar bill. I still remember how they fit my babies perfectly and even left a little room to grow back then. :)</div>

DISCLAIMER: I've been trying to get the spacing right between the pictures and text in this post for the last hour... And Blogspot is fighting me every step of the way. Please don't judge me by the way this post "looks." I'm letting it go for tonight simply so I can share a few memories... This isn't OVER....</div>

<br />
Hello again!!!! What's it been... Another 3 months?<br />
<br />
We've been enjoying everyday. :)<br />
<br />
I can't BELIEVE that my little ones will be 1 year old on Monday. I'm a little in denial about the whole thing, but it is finally sinking in I think. My parents are here to help celebrate this blessed event and I was just saying to my mom tonight that it was very different watching Noah go through each phase and celebrating each birthday with him... Simply because I knew deep down in my heart that I would be there again with another child. I feel the closure that will come once my babes are officially not babies anymore. I am done saving precious blankets for the next blessing, dreaming of when that might happen. I pass by the baby clothes section in stores now with a little zing in my heart, knowing that Liam and Xio are way too big for those soft little jammies now. I have shed a few tears already, and I'm certain there will be more. But I'm so very excited for my little ones to move on to the next stage and grow into little toddlers. They are already there in so many ways. I can't wait to celebrate with them on Monday. :)<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we are ringing in the Fall!!!! We went to Roca Berry Farm today and had a great day. Noah wore himself out on bouncy houses, giant jumping pillows, pony rides, haunted mansions, and then savored a warm glazed donut and kettle corn. Good times. Here are a few of my favorite moments...<br />

So... It's been an amazing last 8 months. Yes, the Babes are 8 months old!!! Just can't believe it. They are sitting, babbling, drooling, teething, playing, blowing raspberries, laughing, rolling over, EATING, and exploring like crazy.</div>

I have been beating myself over the head for the serious lack of blogging these last few months. And that needs to stop today. I do plan to catch everyone up on our amazing Christmas and Springtime adventures. But I feel like if I wait for that to happen, then I would never blog again! So I'm just going to start from today and share what my sweet children are up to right now. And if I can throw in some "catch-up" blogs every now and then, fantastic.</div>
