Long time no hear

Sorry I haven't posted. 

Life can be a little hectic when you have twin babies. 

Both are still healthy and thriving and I have 1 walker. 

Tons of teeth and still more childproofing to be done. 

My husband is under a lot of stress at work so almost all if the household duties. Well, to think about it, yes all of the household duties as well as caring for the twins. 

He's getting some help with his stress now. 

Although my TTC days are over, I love being there for others. 

When I decided to seek medical help to conceive. I joined a group of gals. Called ourselves "TTC 37+". 

All but 1 conceived and have given birth. The other 1 is expecting a baby through adoption later this year. 

It's been a year since I lost my mother and things are finally slowing down a bit and I'm really starting to feel the loss. 

41 years old and I feel like an orphan. 

I was childless for so long that I sometimes feel that these beautiful babies aren't mine. 

It feels as if I've been given someone else's beautiful children to take care of. 

Well these little one are turning 1 next Tuesday and their birthday party is tomorrow. 

Never thought I would get the chance to plan a birthday party for my own babies!!

I will stop the gabbing and let the pictures tell the story. 

Thank You Dr. L

So sorry for not being back sooner.
The twins are a full-time job and a half.
At a little over 6 months old they both teethed early and with all the crankiness and drool, both are sporting their 2 bottom teeth!!

I'm taking time out of all the hustle and bustle to remember someone who helped make my family possible.

I received a letter from FCI in early January.
The one doctor that believed in me is no longer with us.
He was the doctor that didn't give up.
He was the one doctor that respected my eggs more than I did by refusing to transfer them to a less than ideal uterus.

He was the only doctor that ever told me that my eggs were golden.

He took the time to talked to me when my mother was dealing with her liver cancer. He shared how he dealt with his father's cancer struggle. He held my hand when he saw me concerned.

When the time came to transfer my only 2 frozen embryos, he wanted to be the one to do it. FCI is a huge practice with all doctors capable of the transfer but he wanted to be there for us.

Early in my pregnancy, he told us that we had nothing to worry about. He told us that these babies were for keeps.
He was the coolest dude.
He helped us achieve our dream and I am forever grateful.

Dr. L passed away on January 8 th 2013.

Thank you Dr. L
Thank you for helping us achieve our dream of a family.
Thank you for taking such good care of those 2 little embryos.
Those 2 embies are 2 healthy smiling six month olds.

God bless you
