six months in and ready for more

I consider this the perfect time for starting this blog. Six months ago today, my husband and I headed to the hospital, to prepare for the birth of our babies. The thought of being parents to not just one, but two babies should have really freaked us out. On some level it did, but there was no turning back. Even with all the nervousness we felt, our excitement and anticipation grew. We were so ready for our baby boy and baby girl to join our family.

Sitting here today, thinking back, I recall those times I thought we'd never survive--the sleepless nights, the frustrations, the tears. I was so wrong. We not only survived, we conquered. But how did we get from there to here? How did our little ones get to this half-year marker already? I'm so amazed that time has passed so swiftly. They still seem so new and shiny, yet so familiar, as though they've always been with us. It's almost as though we don't remember our former life. What did we live for before they got here? All I know is that our life is richer, sweeter and much more comical than ever before. 


There are times I think I might burst from all the love I feel when I look at them. I always knew I wanted to be a wife and mom, but I just didn't get how truly wonderful that whole package could be. God has truly blessed my life and since I love to write, it's only natural that I want to record those moments made better by these amazing little people. 


To my babies, a very happy 6 months to you. You are so loved, not just by mommy and daddy, but by so many others. I look forward to watching you grow.
