Aunt Elvia

Aunt Elvia finally flew into Houston to meet her two precious nephews! I'd like to say, she fell instantly IN LOVE with them...as evidenced by the pics below!

Aunt Elvia was Executive Producer at Red Car in Hollywood. (http://www.redcar.com) before leaving there to start up her own company, Pistolerapost. (http://www.pistolerapost.com) She is now in Santa Monica....can't wait to take the boys to visit and make a quick trip to Disneyland!

I'm going to try to convince Aunt Elvia to create portfolios for the boys and send them to numerous agents to see if someone picks them for a casting! LOL..if anyone can do it, Aunt Elvia can!

Can someone say CHEEKS!

Long time no see

WOW! How time flies...I've been so lost in baby land its been a while since I've posted!
Well...so what's new? I must admit that the first thing on my mind are my boys and behind that, Mothers Day!
They are growing soo big. I can't believe how much love one person can have for two little boys...It feels like just yesterday that I was starting my IVF journey... I remember taking a picture of the beginning...literally taking a pic of the ROAD, my journey commencing toward Motherhood.......

I remember the 1st ultrasound, seeing what would become my SON...

then my 2nd ultraound...seeing what would become my SONS! Yikes, that was a scary day!

37 years old and never have had Mothers Day celebrated for ME...well this year, all that changed forever. It was a wonderful one...
Watching my baby Embryos grow is much like seeing Marcus & Matthew grow now, amazed at their strength and perseverance to get through the toughest of times (Matthew) and Marcus growing steadily, by leaps and bounds, as each day passes.

Just as amazing as the ultrasound pics was watching as my belly grew. Commemorating each week with a pic, I started like this...

Growing with each passing week:

And aaah Mother's Day, no longer JUST the revered day when I celebrate MY mom and sisters' motherhood and that of mothers around the world. I, CC, joined this prestigious club and became a LIFETIME member. WITH PRIVILIGES!

All in all, its been a wonderful 2 months. The boys have grown out of their preemie clothing, Matthew has overcome his colic and Marcus has "found" his lungs! His BLOOD CURDLING screeches have me jolting out of bed in the middle of the night, staggering toward the nursery as the blood rushes to my head ....stopping at the door to my bedroom to gather my wits before heading on.....

Yes I have had MANY a sleepless night and even MORE restless days plagued with fatigue. My reward? being greeted with warm smiles in the middle of the night by a baby thankful for satisfying his hunger and offering a warm embrace...

Would I trade it for all of the riches in the world? NEVER.

EVER.

I.

SO.
BLESSED.

THESE.
BOYS.
IN.
MY.
LIFE.
that includes my dear husband Eloy....
