April 28th 2003

This was the day that the doctor came into my hospital room that i had sat in for 5 and a half long weeks ,and announced that "Today was a good day to have some babies"

This was the day that i had waited for for my whole life ! this is what i had been put on this earth to do ... i was going to be a mom a real mom not a stand in mom like i had very blessed to do and gladly been for so many other children and teens all those years . when i finally got to see them 3 days later it was the best day ever ,better then the day i got to meet them in the sonogram room,and big C's knees went week. i knew that all our prayers and hard work had been well worth it .I always said i wanted 2,4,or 6 .hubby said he always wanted 1.

God said here, you have waited 8 long years so have a two for one.There is not a day that goes by that i don't thank Him for these great, loving ,wild, funny, little men He put into my life.They make me cry and laugh all the time I cant tell you how great it is to be told "you are the best momma i have ",and know that they mean it and would not change that for the world -at least till they are 13-little C asked me if i was going to cry at this birthday too (like i do every year ) big C said yep honey she will and she will cry at every other one too,and as i sit here and type this i am balling my eyes out. It shocks me how yesterday they were both a bit over 4 pounds and preemie diapers were too big,how i could carry them both in my arms at the same time.how i loved having them in my bed every night and there was so much room for all four of us and now when they come into our bed in the middle of the night i have to leave because there is no more room for me.Or when those little babies that are no longer a bit over four pounds fall out of their beds ,i have to have daddy pick up them up for me because they are now too heavy for me to pick up much less carry both in my arms at the same time .

I marvel how they started out like this
