Bitter Sweet

At 8:56 pm 4 years ago, I was quietly falling asleep in the hospital knowing that I would soon meet my twin baby girls. While this was an exciting event, it was also quite scary as the girls were coming 10 weeks early as a result of Twin-To-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. They were born March 23, 2007 at 7:45 and 7:46 pm weighing 3lbs 8oz, and 2lbs, 15oz. Sophie Elizabeth and Macy Anne were tough little buggers and after a 5 week delux accomodation stay in the NICU we were able to bring them home and start our new normal as a family of 6. As I write this I hear them up in their room chatting away about Barbi and such and it brings tears to my eyes. I love the sweet, hilarious, outgoing and talented little girls they are becoming, but I SO miss my soft tiny little balls of baby love (I am truly crying my eyes out right now :) ). These 2 monkeys, or Boo and Peanut as they are affectionately know as, have completed our family and brought an immeasurable amount of joy to our lives. I can't wait to see what they do next...

Some of my favorite pictures of the twins...enjoy
