twin toddlers?

the shock and excitement, nervousness and awe...

8 weeks.doctor cowan says, "your bambino looks great...silence as he continues sono...oh, wait (heart stops with anticipation of the worst). you've got twins!"

wHaT?

so it was. twins. identical twin girls.

thank you God for my double miracle.

pregnancy was non-eventful (thankfully). although most of my friends and family told me i was crazy to try and deliver twins in austin while living near dallas - i did it. i went full term for twins, 38 weeks 2 days.

labor began on braxton's birthday, november 2, 2009.

yes, i actually went into labor hours before my scheduled section!

i held off until 3am and then HAD to go to hospital. why was i enduring contractions when my c-section was scheduled at 7am? well, i really wanted cowan to deliver & was trying to wait until my check in time at 5:30am. instead we checked in at 3:30am and delivered at 4:56 and 4:57am - with cowan!!! (despite the nurses rudely implying he wouldn't come.)

this past year has been

a blessing. trying. fun. difficult. funny. experimental. trial. error. joyous. precious. tiring. emotional. full of love, tears and memories.



and now, i present my twin toddlers! 

(i am told they are toddlers at age 1, but they will always be babies to me)
