This Time Last Year

This time last year I'd just been given a Foley catheter and was strapped to two fetal monitors at the hospital.
This time last year I was wondering when they were going to let me go back home to get some rest before the real action started.
This time last year I was excited and scared and full of questions.
This time last year I thought I was tired but I had no idea what tired really meant.
This time last year I was so big my belly walked through doors five minutes before the rest of me did.
This time last year I didn't know who William and Owen really were, didn't know what they looked like, didn't know how wonderful their smiles were, didn't know how much I was going to love them.

I love the comment about thinking you were tired but not really knowing what tired meant. I too was in the same boat, although just one baby.

This time around, I know what I am in for in four months time. I am taking in as many naps as possible now.
I also know what you mean by wow... a smile, a giggle, a snuggle... could my heart love anything more.
Being a m'u'mmy is a precious thing and you are a great one to two very loved, very well cared for boys.
We are blessed aren't we?!
Happy first Birthday to your precious boys tommorrow,
Jenna xoxo
