Dear Sydney and Hailey,
I believe in miracles because I begged God to allow you to live and come to our family safely and you did. It didn't seem possible or even likely.
As I watched you be born and heard your first weak cries. I knew I was experiencing a miracle, we all knew it. I watched the nurses and doctors attend to you carefully. I worried as a ventilator was needed to help you breath.
All I wanted was you to be born alive- to have you safe, yet my arms ached as stayed at the hospital small and weak for 29 days.
We celebrated as you came home pink and healthy to our home.
You have given me a gift. I will never be the same. I will never take any life for granted. Life is fragile. I love you so very much!
Happy Birthday my sweet little girls!

Such a sweet post and what an amazing journey!
Happy Birthday to your incredibly adorable, special, lovely girls......I love how you made some of the pictures black and white. What did you do for their birthday?
This is great! I can't even imagine how hard that was to go through. I can't believe they are 4! Our babies are not babies anymore! I love the sunflower dresses - your family is so beautiful! It was good to see you - we need to have a girl’s night together.
P.S. I love what you do with your blog – I need some lessons!
Happy 4th!
Happy, happy birthday Hailey!! Happy, happy birthday Sydney!! You are such special little girls. Have a wonderful third birthday day!
Happy 4th birthday to your miracle girls!
How sweet! Happy birthday girls!
What a sweet birthday tribute! I hope they both have a wonderful birthday!

Happy birthday, Sydney! Happy birthday, Hailey! And congratulations to you and your family, Laura, for reaching yet another milestone with your amazing girls. You're so right about no longer taking any life for granted - I know that's the biggest lesson I've learned in the last year-and-a-half.
Happy 4th Birthday Sydney and Hailey.
I love those sweet smocked outfits.
Happy birthday Sydney and Hailey!!! I am so lucky to be your aunt and share in your lives. Seeing your mom's post about your beginning, reminds me what a wonderful miracle we all experienced. I sometimes forget that because I see you healthy and happy now, which, of course, is the best part of the miracle.
Happy Birthday Sydney and Hailey!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday girls! Teensy tiny cuties, now nice healthy beauties!:)
Happy Birthday little miracles!
I cannot believe they are 4!!!
Are they going into Preschool already?
♥ They're so cute! It's so amazing to me the modern medicine and things that dr's can do! Happy Birthday to your cute girls! :)
Happy birthday to Hailey and Sydney, here's hoping you have a wonderful day!!
Sweet, sweet, post Laurie!
Hey pretty girls! Have a fun and sweet 4th birthday. What little miracles you are.
I finally get to say "Happy Birthday Sydney"!! Of course a big Happy Birthday to Hailey too.
Great post Laura.
I just re-read my birthday comment and I must have been thinking about my girls! Happy 4th birthday girls. I am slowly losing my brain cells.
oh, happy birthday to your beautiful, strong girls! i love this post, laura.
They were such sweet little ladies right from the start.
Okay!! You made me cry!! Such a lovely post. And it really hit home.
And so I was so overwhelmed I didn't say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your beautiful girls, and Laura you are an amazing Mom!!
And what BEAUTIFUL miracles they are! Happy Birthday girls!
they are adorable! love the white outfits picture!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS! WHOOHOO!
That is so sweet! And I love the pictures! I believe-- too!
happy birthday sweet girls - what a beautiful post. They look so plump even as preemies - I bet it is almost impossible to think back to that.

I can't believe how time flies! Cameron will be 4 tomorrow and he's still as mischievous as the twins. I've decided he won't be going to kindergarten next year. I'd rather wait and give him the advantage he needs. I think you said the same thing about sending the twins when they're 6 instead of 5. I love how you composed this post. It reminds me of a scrpabook page. Blogging is a nice substitute when scrapbooking is not caught up or impossible to find time to do. I still try to do it at least once a month. I'm trying to finish Conner's baby album. I like that my blog doesn't take up any space and doesn't require taking out any supplies. Plus it doesn't cost any money! I miss you and wish we lived closer! Love ya!
What a touching post and great story! I know it killed me when Bryce was in the NICU for 5 days I cannot imagine 29...
I love this post. I will never forget the journey you took to get these girls here. What a miracle it all turned out so perfect. I am happy they were born when they were because my Cali got two cousins the same age. Happy 4th b-day Sydney and Hailey!
Sweet post! Look how far they have come. Hope they had a great 4th birthday!
Such sweet precious little girls! Happy Birthday!
