Two years ago tonight I attempted to fall asleep the night before my long, hard road of fertility was to end and prepared to delivery my precious boy/girl twins at the multiples full term of 37 weeks.
Two years ago tonight I tossed and turned with one main thought in mind to GET THEM OUT! I had grown so uncomfortable with these two very active little ones constantly moving and groving in my belly. Although the thought of two actual live babies still seemed like an unachievable dream, I could not wait to meet them. "I'll believe it when I see it", I thought. And so they were born the next morning at 7am one by one with baby bird screams into the bustling operating room. The next few days and months were blurs of sleep deprivation and learning how to handle not just one but two newborns. And now 2 years later I feel a deep sense of achievement of not only getting through those first months and year...but coming out on the other end of infertility successfully.
Happy birthday my little sushi nuggets! You are the most precious gift I could ever have dreamed of and the hardest things I've ever worked at creating. I love you with all my heart...may you grow strong and thrive for years to come :)
