8 Months

Yes, today my babies are 8 months old. I can't believe it. It seems just like yesterday that my water broke and they gave me magnesium to stop the contractions 41 hours before doing an emergency c-section. Wow, time sure flies by when you are having such an awesome time raising your miracles! I love my life, my husband and the sweet sweet babies we are enjoying raising together.
