They are one!



They are one!

March 1, 2017

I can’t believe a whole year has gone by and my babes are a year old, where has the time gone? I remember a lot of parents telling me to enjoy the first year as it seems to fly by and you don’t remember very much…well, I’m here to tell you that is 100% true.

We have come so far from that first day we brought them home, luckily with all the NICU time we had we felt very confident bringing them home. We went from completely helpless and totally dependent babes to walking, learning, growing independent babes. They are doing things that I remember daydreaming about when they were young. They comprehend so much that we tell them and they’re so attentive. It just amazes me to see the difference in not only them but us as well.

They have shown us how to be more patient, enjoy those little moments and how to survive on a little amount of sleep. LOL. I still don’t know how we’re functioning?!? The boys just continue to amaze us and surpass any expectations that we have for them. They have really become my little men and have grown so much in just one short year. I suspect that will be the case for the rest of their lives.

Their birthday is something that is not only so memorable but it’s something that I am still not 100% sure of how I want to celebrate. I think I may have it worked out but will have to see. Initially I wanted to celebrate for two days, seeing as I have two babies to celebrate. But this year when I went to celebrate on February 28th, it felt a little surreal as last year at this time I still had the little monsters in my belly. I decided to celebrate on March 1st instead as technically they were outside of my belly then, with their birthday being on leap year…it’s never easy having babies born on a day that technically only comes around every 4 years.

I know moving forward I will go ahead with my plan to celebrate on two days, February 28th and March 1st. I have decided that I will rotate who gets to celebrate on the two days so that they don’t come to expect that day as their birthday. I definitely need to make a calendar reminder about this so I don’t get mixed up. I think it will be something they will enjoy and it’s nice for everyone to have their own special day…despite them being twins.

Happy First Birthday my babies, I can’t wait to keep celebrating your special days.
