As Lyla's first birthday fast approaches I start to think about all of you that have been in this journey with us. I remember back in June/July/August/September 2007 when many of us starting getting BFP all at once. Serenity, Amy, Dellenn, Caro, Learn to breath-Amanda, And Baby Makes Three, BellyBug, Kicking You From The Inside, Neenie,Hopeful to Hateful in 28 days,Oscar wants a pl@ym@te. Life is good ... OMG, so many of us ( I am sure I am forgetting somebody, please help me to add on to the list). It was so exciting to be finally part of it, not to feel left behind. I remember the thrill of the first betas, then the heartbeat, the challenges and wonders of the pregnancies, the excitement of the births... Reading your blogs kept me calm, receiving your commends was so awesome, the encouragement, the support. YOU GUYS ROCK! . There was a second wave of BFP and they also made the class of 2008: fertilized, baby Moxie, Pig P and me, The onliner, Bea, Not like I thought it would be... (come on Help me) Then the babeis were here! I think Swim was the first of the class of 2008... Then Luke, Brooklyn, baby O, Mason, , Lyla, Willow, baby T, Claire, Giulia, Lily, kate, MT, katherine, Prata baby, D0n0van... (again I am forgetting names, please help me! and I am not sure with the order is right).
I also remember the heartbreaks, the ones that should be here. My heart aches for their mommy and Daddy. Sara's baby (I am glad she her precious girl now- the head of class of 2009), Sylvia, Claire, Lucy, Devin, Silas,Doodles...I am so sorry , I wish you were all here with us.
It was amazing to have you all to share the joys of motherhood during this first year, the challenges, the insecurity, the frustrations, the happiness, excitement, discoveries... Our babies grew up "together", we grew together! and forever we will share this bond. It's time to celebrate, happy birthday to you all!

This is such a nice thing to do, Cibele!
Willow Leone will be turning 4 years old on April 24th. She is going to have a B-Day party at Chuck E. Cheeses.
I think we should maybe put a small paragraph about what they are like now at 4...
Willow loves dress up and barbies. Things are always "cute" and part of family units. She likes Dora, Diego and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Love the idea Dellen !! I will do that
This is so cool! thanks for doing this!! Lily is uber organized, fearful of getting in trouble, hilarious imagination and obsessed with Dora. She writes with both hands still and has a big shy side that's getting better with every month she ages.
Awww....*sniff* how has it been FOUR years???
Luke is having a dinosaur party n the park with a pinata! He also has a speaking part in the upcoming school play where he will be a rooster! (I'll let you know if a career on stage is a possibility.)
Missed this when you posted it originally. I have the hardest time doing anything with blogs lately.
Mason turns 4 two weeks from today. I can't believe we have kids now instead of babies. Mason is an extremely fun loving little boy. He is full of energy, imagination and personality. I cant take him anywhere with out someone commenting on what a fun kid he is. Mason is also the class "mayor" and his teacher told me she thinks im in in trouble when he reaches middle school Withthe girls He is obsessed with Legos. We are having a party at a gymnastics studio with a Lego theme.
