1 Year Check Up!

My little deer in the headlights not moving an inch as all of the staff come in to take a peek and congratulate us on not having ONE sick visit since they have been discharged from NICU! L-R Baxlyn Brody Kylee & Korbin

Brody at birth - 3lbs at 1 Year - 20lbs 15oz!

Having a moment with Dr. Reyes... a little doctor in training... who knows?!

Our Baby Girl B at birth 2lbs10oz at 1 Year - 18lbs1oz!

"This is me showing you I can stand. And this is my shoe!"

My Little Tiny Kylee at birth 2lbs7oz at 1 Year - 19lbs9oz!

Last but not least Korbin at birth 2lbs11oz at 1 Year - 19lbs7oz!

I'm pretty sure this next part made them never want to have another birthday - shots! Poor things got 3 shots each, it was brutal and you could hear them all crying AT ONCE through the whole office.

"We hate being one, mommy!"

Our attempt at a group shot with Dr. Reyes before leaving which the girls wanted nothing to do with. Better luck next time!

Happy 1st Birthday Brody Baxlyn Kylee & Korbin

This is it, this is their very first birthday. It's so hard to believe my sweet babies are ONE! February 16th 2009, I woke up like any other day having no clue that by the end of the day I would be half my size and officially a "Mommy". I remember so much about that day... the nurses who were present, the special one who came in from home just because I wanted her there, the disgusting meatloaf with tomato and basil that I (for some reason) ordered for lunch, the look on my doctor's face and how my heart sunk when he said the words "Looks like were gonna have some birthday parties...". I'll never forget seeing my friends and family in the hallway cheering me on while I was being wheeled to the operating room, literally feeling myself getting smaller and being able to take deeper breaths as each baby was pulled out, and hearing each one's weak whimper as they took their first breath on their own. It was definitely a day I will never forget.

Right before Korbin and Baxlyn were discharged.

These are some of the amazing doctors who God used to take care of myself and the babies. Dr. Leveno, Lucena, Kuforiji & Dr. Jain, if you are reading this THANK YOU! We think about you often, especially during this time.

Brody, Baxlyn, Kylee & Korbin
Your Daddy and I have said a million times already and will say it millions more in your lifetime, we are so proud of you and thank you for being the fighters that you are. Not one single day has gone by that we haven't thought about where you were a year ago and how far you have come. God has truly blessed us not only with four babies, but more specifically YOU four babies, and we thank him for that each and every day.

Happy Birthday to our miracle babies, we love you!
