Happy Birthday Sydney and Hailey

Happy Birthday to my sweet twins. Three years ago today I felt more joy than I have ever known when I held you safe in my arms. After so many months of worry and agony you were born safely. During my pregnancy I never dared hope for such a joyous outcome. Spending so many dark moments believing you may never be mine was the hardest experience I have ever known... but without it I would not have known the joy that I have felt being your mother. Every moment of every day we all enjoy both of you. Your spirits have brought so much happiness to our family. May you always know how desperately we fought to get your here, how precious your lives are to us! You have changed the lives of all who know you! I love you my miracle babies!Safe in my arms (holding the girls for the first time).
First day home from the NICY (29 days).

Happy Birthday girls and Praise the Lord for such an awsome outcome! I bet this day is a real milemarker in your life! I can't imagine the stress you must have went through during your pregnancy!
Hope you had a great day of celebrating!

Happy Birthday to your "miracle" girls. What a beatiful post about how much you love them and how much you went through to get them here. Cute pictures, too.
