They will be 12 next month. Wow. Time does fly. Seems like last week I was in the ICU wondering when they would come home. Moira (r) was 3.25 pounds but packed it on and in a week was 4 pounds, the minimum they would let us take her home. Kiera (l) was a hefty 5.25 lol.

Short story, my wife and I tried for several years with no success, only to find out ultimately for us that the odds where against us on both of us, we never thought twice about not adopting. Our son is half hispanic/half white, and one of the proudest moments in my life was when i cut the cord at his birth and held him for the first time!!!
Although we dont have the experience of going thru my wife being pregnant, neither of us have ever looked back. It was an open adoption, so occassionally we do send pics through another party to the birth mom, just so that she will know what an awesome gift of life/and lives she has given.
The first pic is my son and I backfilling the ditch in our front yard day after christmas 2008(water leak in the yard).yes even plumbers have have plumbing problems, and the second of him pooped out with one of the dogs!

Count your blessings fellas!!

Me and my boy at Stone Mountain!

The most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life is when my wife and I had Tyler.

Patrick, Cute kid!

I think we are on about the same time line. My daughter Sarah was born on July 2, 08. She was not a whopper, only 7lb 6 oz. She has since made up for it. She is a little over 10 mos and is 25lbs and 31 inches!!

She too cut two bottom teeth and then struggled for a while and cut two top ones. We found crushed ice in one of her socks helped some. Orajel is the go to at night though.

You are lucky she sleeps that well. Sarah sleeps soundly, but wakes up in the middle of the night starving to death. She eats and goes right back out. I guess it takes a lot to keep that much mass percolating.

She started moving around a little late I thought. She has just gotten the hang of crawling in the last month, but now she's pulling up on everything in sight and walks four or five steps at a time between me and DW.

The most amazing part is when they start developing their own personality and habits. I wanted a little boy, but there's something about a little girl that just melts daddy's heart.

Here's our little one at Easter. She has a great time every day. She rarely fusses and we are very lucky!
