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.
