March of Dimes March for Babies!

Kiko and I have joined up with our friends to walk with a team in the March of Dimes March for Babies Fundraiser!!! Our team is dedicated to Kayla and Kamryn!! Since our little girls were born prematurely by 8.5 weeks, we have a very special place in our heart for this event now more than ever. Without the March of Dimes, many premature babies wouldn't have the chances that they have now. Please consider donating to our team! My personal goal that I've given myself is $1500...though I know that we can do much better than that!! The walk will take place April 25 at the University of Houston Robertson Stadium. Kiko, myself AND the WONDER TWINS will be there!! We hope that you can join us!! And if you can't and would like to make a donation to this wonderful cause, please click the link to the right of this blog and it will send you to the website! NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL!!! EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!!!

Thank you so much!!!

First Year Checkup!

Today was the girls 1 year checkup with their pediatrician and it was both stressful and wonderful!! The girls are weighing in at 20 lbs and "almost 17 lbs"! Kamryn can now ride forward facing in a big girls car seat!! Kayla has a little longer to go till she can switch...but now they can face each other when they are riding :). They got their immunization shots and some blood drawn too which was not fun for either of us. Kamryn is not feeling well...I think her molars are starting to come in and really bugging her. She was up most of the night and very whiney...which she never is...so I'm hoping some Motrin will help her out tonight. The doctor was so pleased with their progress...she said Kamryn still has a "big head" so we're going to keep watching it and if she doesn't meet her developmental milestones in 3 months and her head continues to be large (90th percentile) she will order some more tests and a consult with a neurologist just to be sure. We have monthly visits from ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) and they should be by this week to check out her development some too. She's not really wanting to crawl or pull up which is a little worrisome since Kayla is all over the place...but she's trying. It's so cute to watch them crawl around the house...Kayla is so fast, but she will stop and wait for Kamryn to catch up to her and they both giggle while they do it! I can almost see Kayla encouraging Kamryn when she does this...she'll circle around Kam while waiting for her and they both smile and laugh. It just warms my heart to watch these two beautiful girls!!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

Today was our baby girls first birthday!! I can't believe it's been a year already! I only cried once! LOL. They had a great day today with a lot of friends and family sharing the day with us!! We had a LADYBUG theme for the party and the girls were so cute in their little matching "ladybug" dresses and "ladybug" cakes! **Note to mommy...black and red icing makes for VERY messy babies!!!!** Here are a few pictures...sorry they are dark :(.
