I feel so lucky to have healthy Twin sons. Who on this day last year were just barley born at this time. 8 32 and 8 35 a.m. via c section. I went to 37 weeks- and with twins thats really far to make it. And as much as it hurt to go that long I'm glad they had the chance to grow longer inside me. Greyson was just fine when he was born weighing 6lbs 6 oz and Harrison being even bigger at 7 pounds 1 oz. I was shocked they were huge! No wonder I hurt. I remember Brandon bringing the babies over for me to see and being overwhelmed with joy and relief. Brandons face I will always remember He looked so cute in scrubs and you can tell he was smiling so big through his mask. Thats a moment I'll always remember. They were here I made it. I later learned after getting out of the recovery room-when they only brought Greyson into me that Harrison was having a really hard time breathing and they were taking him to the nicu. I didn't get to hold him for 2 weeks and it broke my heart. Thankfully having Greyson with me helped ease the pain a little. Brandon stayed by my ra ra all the time always checking on him- they bonded pretty fast. I loved holding my little unit- and was just in awe of how tiny he was and I loved when he would breathe deep and sigh-he still does that. Id go visit ra ra in the nicu and I remember loving all of his black hair. and his little legs. He's my kicker all right. We were able to bring Greyson home 4 days after my surgery- and harrison 2 weeks later- thankfully we didn't have to bring him home on oxygen which we thought we might. He even had a little shaved head where they tried to stick Iv's in his head. When we got home we switched and I held my ra ra to make up for lost time and Brandon held greyson. They were very good babies. I'm very greatful. They slept through the night at 3 months. It was awesome! Today I feel humble and greatful that I was chosen to be their mother. They remind me whats the most sweet and tender in life. And they fill my life with moments of true joy. I love how different they are. blue eyes brown eyes hair no hair- timid and loud. I can't wait to see what year 1 brings. I love you my babies. Man I'm crying...They just seem really big this morning. You'll always be my babies.

Beautiful Bree, kids can bring us the greatest sorrow we will ever know, but they also bring us the greatest joy, I am happy to with both your little men a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ReplyDeleteI love birthdays for this reason. I always pull out the old pictures and look at them as little babies. Time flies so fast and these babies are so precious. You'll enjoy this next year even more, I promise...although it might be more physically exhausting.
ReplyDeleteDangit Bree you made me tear up!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I go to get Aaron up in the morning he seems like he grew just a little more through the night. They do grow so fast! It's bittersweet. Happy birthday to your little ones!
