Don't mean to get polical on everyone but I saw this and had to post it. Very disturbing to me.

Boo Boo of the Week
I am realizing that with boys, someone always has a scrape, bump or bruise somewhere on their body. This week, Liam and Tommy decided to sneak in the office and climb on the desk....this resulted in Liam face needing to be glued back together. Sometimes I think I gave birth to monkey's and not little boys. He almost appears proud of his battle scar!

how people find me
I always wonder how people find my blog. I don't get many visitors compared to others but it interesting. I loaded a stat counter which gives me this information. So far these are the searches that found my site...
"32 weeks" twins
Virgin Mary beginnings
kiddiepark ohio
quote from small beginnings come great things
the story of the virgin mary
Story of the Virgin Mary
monoamniotic when to terminate
can a very short boy grow to be a tall adult
ambassadors begginings
The one that most disturbs me is of course "monoamniotic when to terminate".....Hopefully they found out NOT to terminate a monoamniotic pregnancy.
I am sure whoever wanted the story of the virgin mary were disappointed to just see my boys giving her a hug.

Happy Birthday Little Dudes
I am a little late in posting this as the birthday was August 4th but we have had a busy week.
I am just amazed that 2 years have gone by.
To my little Liam,
I feel so blessed to be your mommy. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw you. You were so small and so beautiful to me. I felt so guilty that this was the way you had to start your life and I promised to make it up to you everyday. I hope someday you realize that I wished every moment that it was me fighting your fight. You have taught me so many things in your short 2 years. You never gave up even when you were so sick that we didn't know if you could take one more breath.
You love to laugh and you have always had an impish grin. Your eyes just sparkle with excitement. You are adventurous and good natured. You learned to climb out of your crib 4 days before your birthday. You keep mommy on her toes! You love all animals and even at 2, I see a quiet loving heart in you. You love to dance and run. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you! Happy Birthday!
To my precious Tommy,
You were my first baby I set my eyes on. I couldn't believe what i saw. You were so tiny. I never thought I could love someone so much. I am so sorry you had to start life struggling so much but it taught me and everyone who knows you so much. You were a fighter and you hated your ventilator yet you struggled so hard to breathe. You felt sympathy pains for your brother when he was so sick.
You were the first to smile and it melted my heart. You have a quiet way about you. You love to cuddle and laugh. You are a good natured little boy. You love to give hugs to all the animals. You are sensitive yet strong. You love to jump and throw balls. You are determined to get what you want.
I am so blessed to be your mommy. I love you! Happy Birthday!

Before you were concieved I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of love.

This is the Season
Two years ago, this was my last day of work until I went inpatient in the hospital hoping to begin the journey of bringing 2 babies home with me. I remember I had just had my steroid shots and I was flying high. I did too much and had to lay down. It was a good thing it was my last day of work. I don't know how much longer I would have handled work.
I remember having all these plans of how I would spend my days in the hospital. I planned on watching the season of BIG Brother. I have to admit I am a reality TV fan and this was a show I could get into and it was on several times a week so I could look forward to it. I planned on learning to make a scarf. I had tons of books and magazines to read. I felt like I would finally get some peace during this pregnancy knowing that the boys could be delivered if a problem arose. I never dreamed their would be a problem. I had every intention on carrying them to at least 32 weeks.
Even though 2 years have passed, I still can bring up every emotion I ever had that year. It was pure hell and yet I would do it all over for the reward was amazing.
These next few months will be full of reflection and gratitude.
Dear God,
Please bless all the momo twins who were born early, all the momo twins still in their mommies bellies and all the babies in the NICU. Amen
