Almost 6 months...

The state of Arizona offers a free program for any child that was in the NICU for more than 3 days after birth. This program is an early intervention program. A nurse comes to our home throughout the first 3 years of life. In the beginning she came once a month. Now she is coming every 3 months.

The babies are only 4 1/2 months old (gestational age) and 6 months old actual age. Because the babies were 7 weeks early, the nurse evaluates them as of the gestational age.

Yesterday the nurse came over and played with the babies to see if they were doing everything a 4month old should be doing. As I suspected, they are acting more like a 6month old than a 4 month old. Except Alexis, her fine motor skills are more like a 8-9month old.

I feel so blessed!! I went through so much to get these babies. The ups and downs of infertility is hard to explain unless you go through it yourself. And now, I am so amazed at how perfect they are. They are a huge blessing!! They bring Justin and I so much joy, and we are so very proud of them and all they do.
