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.

It probably gets tired... but when I saw the "First Birthday", I thought "Is it one year already?
Wow!
For you it must be a combination of time flying by and dragging all at the same time.
None the less, you, they've come a long way and I wish them both a very happy birthday, and may all your dreams and wishes for them come true.
Many Blessings,
Anna
Ohnnoooooooo!! I totally missed it. I am so sorry. totally crappy of me. Oh man, I feel just awful. There's been fires at work taking all my attention of late.
OK. I shall make it up to you somehow. Sushi. On me.
I hope it was a total blast.
So So So Sorry

Congratulations for reveling in this truly awesome milestone of life, your children's 1st birthday.
Nothing marks time faster than our children growing up.
Happy birthday to M & Q! Yes, yes, so many miraculous moments, so many sleepless nights, all rolled into two amazing little lives you are raising. I'm sure baby Kara is proud of you, and I'm also sure she knew you could do it! Congratulations on the first year!
I could relate to this so much. The past three years for us both have been filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
I know how special this day would have been for you. I'd LOVE to see photos! The cake got me as well. I can't believe we both made it to this point.
Love to you, mama.

They are beautiful. It made me happy, too, to see them devouring their cakes. I'm sitting here tearing up now. Hugs and happy birthdays!
