Lots of updates!

Yikes!  Where does the time go?  So so much has been happening!  Rocco and Maximus are turning 9 months tomorrow! Can you believe it!?  It truly is unbelievable how fast it does go!  Those first three months feel like an eternity with the lack of sleep learning how to be a mother, learning your babies needs and wants then BAM you get it down and they are NINE MONTHS OLD!  Oh how I love them!

My babies are so much fun!  I love my life with them!  Each day they make me smile, each day they make me laugh... of course we have challenging moments, but I wouldn't change a thing!  I am truly BLESSED beyond words with the sweetest most lovable little boys a Mommy could ask for!

Rocco is crawling like crazy, since 7 months, and honestly I think he is going to walk soon.  C started walking when he was 9 months... I'm scared.  This week Rocco learned to pull himself up in his crib, I walked into this in the morning...

Look how proud he is of himself!  Then, with in two more days, he has learned to  pull himself up on just about everything he can grasp, including our back door, he has also climbed up a step from the living room to the foyer.  Thankfully, he is the only one doing this...

Maximus army crawls EVERYWHERE.  I'm not really sure if he will actually crawl, since he is so efficient at army crawling.  He can keep up with Rocco and go from room to room.  He sits up very well but cannot sit-up on his own or go back to to crawl from sitting.  He is in no hurry and neither am I!  Maximus is VERY busy, high energy, so I know that he won't be walking, he'll be RUNNING! Ha!
He is definitely my lil comedian and is so funny!  I have never met a baby like him.

Last week, we FINALLY went back to the RE and the boys got to meet all the nurses, Dr. R, and the Embryologist!  It was SUCH an awesome day!  I brought them a little thank you...

We actually had to go to both offices to see everyone.  I got a little teary going back there and seeing the nurses who were so supportive throughout our IVF process.  It is something that I can NEVER forget!  Going back just reminded me of how far we have come and how emotional the process was.  Anyways, Dr. R got to hold the babies which was so neat to see since he got to hold them as embryos!  I am so mad because I forgot to get a photo :-/  I was so caught up in the moment.  However, I went to go see Kristine, the embryologist, who told me at the transfer, "you have to bring these babies back to see me after you have them, we NEVER see this happen!"  Which I elaborate on HERE, in a previous post from our IVF cycle.  

Kristine had been following our story through the computer, since they update to make sure there was a live birth.  She remembered us IMMEDIATELY and was SO happy to meet the little miracles she helped create.  One thing she said, which surprised me is that we are their MOST SUCCESSFUL case EVER of rescue ICSI because we got twins and that we only had a 2% chance of it working to get ONE BABY, let alone TWINS! What little miracles I have here!!!  She wanted me to take a picture of the three of them so here they are...

It was such an awesome day!  The boys also did so good... I am one PROUD mama!!

Sunday, the boys are getting dedicated to the Lord in church and we are having a celebration lunch back at our new home (which we are LOVING!).  All is good here and we are all just so blessed :)
