9 months ago today...

Nine months ago today I was sitting in a hospital bed at this very moment with two sweet babies in each arm. They were tiny and new. We were tired and even though we had been parents for 5 years before their arrival, I felt very novice and a little uneasy. We had waited for months to hold them and kiss their little cheeks. We had heard their hearts beat and I had felt their kicks and tumbles. They looked nothing like I thought they would look like. Liam with his dark hair and super high squeal. Levi with his long body and cotton top hair. For twins they looked nothing alike. They were up most of night that first night.

Nine months ago tomorrow I was completely exhausted and a little overwhelmed. My nerves were on end and J was very kind and forgiving to my snappy attitude. We came home a couple days later with two healthy baby boys and started our life as a family of five. We took it day by day by day. Sleepless nights, a massive amount of diapers,hours of crying and a lot of dirty laundry has passed these past nine months. But most importantly so has baby cuddling, precious firsts, sweet gummy smiles,and the knowing that countless more blessings are ahead. These little boys have brought so much joy to our family and I can not imagine our life with out them!
