Happy birthday boys!! I cannot believe my boys are 3. I have 3 year olds! And to celebrate...they're sleeping in! Maybe it's because they haven't napped in ages, maybe it's a combination of day camp and swimming in the pool, but I'm feeling very productive on this birthday morning. Who knows, maybe this will be the new normal...haha, right.
I love Warren and Dean's birthday. I love it. There is so much to celebrate on this day. First, that they were able to have a birthday this late, that they didn't come in May or early June when we thought they would. And second, that they survived even born so early. We know all to well that this is not a given, that the odds were against us. And not just surviving, but thriving. They are going to camp together, learning so much and sharing it with each other. This year is a little sweeter, as they are so clearly best friends. They love each other and look out for each other and play (flight) together, which makes my heart so happy. Three years ago, I was being moved back from labor and delivery to my longer to room, only to go back to labor and deliver a few hours later. I still so vividly remember the way our doctor calmly stated "I'm going to take them now." The rush of fear and anxiety followed immediately by calm and peace. (And then reeeally calm as the mag drip set in). We knew God was in control, we knew God would be with us and these little bitty boys. We didn't know the outcome, knew better than most that there are no guarantees, but we knew that, no matter what, God was by our side.
We are so thankful to celebrate Warren and Dean's 3rd birthday today!!
