Birthday Eve

Clearly time isn't on our side. This day has crept so quickly that I cannot even believe that tomorrow our tiny babies will be TWO. Two babies that will be TWO toddlers.

I was reading through my old posts tonight and reminiscing on how much they have grown in two years-well-I guess our whole family has grown immensely in two years. Bobby and I often say that we feel like we are experiencing parenthood for the first time with these girls-atleast the way that we expected it to be. Jake has been the easiest child on the planet and while that is such a blessing, we have been shocked with so many things we have experienced with the girls...now we get it we think. (Side note-times that by two.)

Last year we were just getting out of the hospital for RSV...I love this year so much better!

Two years ago today I had the most dear and wonderful co-workers and friends bring me dinner and visit. I remember them leaving and touching my big ol' belly and telling them I would send pictures on Friday after I had the babies in the morning. Little did I know that the next day I would be having one of most emotional experiences of my life. I can still picture walking into the OR holding Bobby's hand thinking Wow! All of these people are here for the three of us. I hope I don't forget those memories ever but time does its thing.

Tomorrow is a perfect day-one of my favorite days of the entire year. I love February 28th because it stands for so much success, happiness, and joy. I am part of a Facebook group about Momo twins and I see so many loses and each time I read another one I remind myself of how precious these two little lives are.

Tomorrow is their 2 year appointment and I will be THRILLED to hear Brooklynn has (hopefully) pushed 20 pounds. Sister is tiny. Avery was weighed at urgent care last weekend with croup and was 25 pounds. I am so anxious to see what they weigh. They have been terrible eaters. They went to the doctor on Tuesday and had bronchitis so we have had a rough birthday week. Tomorrow they get to share their favorite snack in the entire world--fruit snacks. They don't really like cookies or cake (love ice cream!) but they are obsessed with fruit snacks. Healthy? Probably not-but when they are going on 2+ days without eating anything, I'll take fruit snacks!

More soon-but for tonight I am going to enjoy thinking back over the past year and looking forward to the next.
