We were in Chicago when the twins turned 1. We had a small gathering for close friends and family -- it is amazing the changes that have happened over the last year. I still remember being in the hospital too early and scared for my precious cargo. Max pulled through so well, and Sonya made it known early on that she was a fighter. I remember Max laying under the lights with his hands under his head. You would have thought he was laying on the beach. I also remember the nurses complaining that Sonya was constantly ripping out her IVs and screaming at them when they opened the lid to her isolette.
