Happy Birthday!

Two years ago today, I woke up and realized that I might be in labor.  Less than 12 hours later these two bundles of joy came into the world ~ 5 1/2 weeks early!  They weighed in at 5lbs 4 oz and 5lbs 14oz.  Not bad for preemies.  Three days later we came home as a family of 5 and it hasn't been the same since.

So today when most of the country is celebrating Mothers or graduating from high school, I am celebrating our little miracles.  We know how lucky we are to have gone through 2 IVF cycles and come out the other side with 3 beautiful children.  We know that the odds were against us, but this time the odds fell in our favor.  Our double blessing of twins has paid us quadruple what we could have ever imagined.  I am one of the lucky ones and for that I will gladly give every Mother's Day for these two.  

Happy 2nd Birthday!!  We love you to the moon and back again!  Enjoy the photo montage below - it's a look back on how tiny they were and how far they have come.
