First Birthday
Tomorrow is the twins' first birthday. It's amazing how far we've come. The last 3 years of my life have been the worst and the best ever. When I lost Kara, I wanted to die. Now that I have M & Q, I want to live long enough to see them grow into healthy, happy adults with wonderful lives of their own. I worry that one of them will die before me. I try to concentrate on their lives and the wonderful things we've shared together so far.
It's amazing we made it through the first year. The sleepless nights (when does that end, again?) the crying, the colic, the reflux, the all-nighters, the smiles, the giggles, the belly laughs, the crawling, the first steps, the babbling. It's all so wonderful. When my daughter, M, is being rocked to sleep, I just stare at her in wonderment. It's all so amazing. I'm so glad to be alive.
We celebrated their birthday yesterday, with everyone who matters. Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, best friends, neighbors. It was amazing. And the cake....oh the cake. I think watching them eat cake was one of the happiest moments in my life - I'll remember it forever.
