Few Misc. Pics of my 8 month old big boy and girl...

It's hard to believe they will be a year old in 4 months?? I was just looking at their newborn pictures and was got all emotional thinking about the day they were born. I was so scared and overwhelmed that morning when I woke up. Just hoping and praying everything would go well, scared to death of getting the IV and epidural. (I am a really big baby!) Maybe I shouldn't share this but I cried when the nurse walked in to give me my IV! I do it every time...pretty sad huh? Then shaking like crazy when it was time for the epidural, looking at Brad with this terrified look on my face. He felt so bad and was trying to talk to me so I wouldn't think about it. The nurse kept saying, "ok, I need you to hold really still and stop shaking" I would just cry harder! The c-section was a very surreal experience. Once again Brad was talking to me to calm me down and distract me and before I knew it they were pulling Lilly out and holding her up to show me. I was crying so hard I couldn't even make out what she looked like thru the tears but I knew she was beautiful. I got to hold her for a couple of minutes while they worked on getting Ash. I just remember looking at her and talking to her feeling so blessed. I couldn't stop kissing her. They took Lilly to clean and warm her up and held my handsome boy up to show me. His little arms and legs where just spread out as wide as they could go screaming his head off. He didn't want to come out of his cozy home just yet. I didn't get to hold him because they had to stitch me all up, etc... and I had lost a little more blood then normal so I was in recovery for quite a while. I couldn't stay awake for anything. I remember people coming in to see me like my mom, sister, Brad, his mom, etc...and talking to me, holding my hand, telling me how beautiful the babies were. All I said in return each time was when do I get to see my babies??!! and fall back to sleep! That was really hard to not be able to be with them right after they were born, that was something I wasn't expecting. Brad got to hold them both and walk them down to the nursery and his mom snapped this shot when he came out of the operating room. Everyone's first look at the babies and daddy had them both...Here are also a few pictures of them I took the other day, they are such fun good babies...
