I'm having what?

TWINS! My doctor's appointment on November 22nd, surprised all present (Mom, Dad, Grandma and MiMi). I couldn't believe what the doctor had just told us. It all started with a normal ultrasound and then I will never forget the words my doctor uttered "Oh my goodness, there's one, two...." I thought to myself STOP COUNTING! There it was, seen through my own eyes....2 little peanuts! What the heck was I supposed to do now. No one is ever ready for this, but I guess now was the time to get ready.

Dominic and Delaney were born on May 29th, 2012 at 9:01 and 9:02 AM. They were born 8 weeks early after my 4 day stay in the hospital. Dominic weight 5lbs 8oz and Delaney weighed 4lbs 6oz and both were 18 inches long.  They spent 18 days in the NICU and my friend Megan Pinheiro said it best when she said "He has taught me so many things already.... patience, love, strength and did I mention love!" These babies, while in the NICU taught me to have strength that I never thought possible. Sure, there were hard times and times that I thought I just couldn't leave without them, then there were times when I knew they are were in the best hands possible. I never realized how hard it would be to drive away from the hospital for those 18 days with out my beautiful new babies. But I had a 3 year old home that wanted just as much attention, and I had to make sure he got it.

Dominic and Delaney have grown up fast and you would never have known there were born premature. They still continue to teach me so much and I am thankful that they are beautiful happy babies. God never gives you anything you can't handle, and I thank Him everyday for giving me the three most beautiful children.
