Twins... What a Handful!

It’s hard to believe that this photo was taken just 1 short year ago. This was the first time I ever held both my boys at the same time since their birth. The moment my second born was laid on my chest joining his older brother was the first moment it really hit me… I’m a mom, a twin mom.

To say this was the best moment in my life thus far would be an understatement. It was pure unadulterated magic. I have never in my life felt anything like it. This photo was a hard one to get. Because the boys were born at 25 weeks, it was 20 days before I got to hold Rory for the first time, 34 days for Jack and it took 58 days postpartum for the three of us to be reunited, and it felt so good ;)

This second in time would simply not have been possible without our elite squad of nurses. Each of them fought so hard along side of us to ensure all of our milestones were not only met but captured. In honor of International Nurses Week I want to give a special shout out to all of the incredible women who stood with us through this season; Best-Friend, Pretty, Sweet, Awkward, Gold-Star, Sleepy, Pop-a-Toppa, paRTy, Happy, Doc, and Pineapple. You laughed with us, cried with us and cheered us on. You all hold the most special place in our hearts and we will always be thankful and grateful for your love and support.

Holding them together has not and will not ever lose its magic. However, it does get more difficult as they grow and grow and grow. They used to both fit so perfectly on our chests and they would sleep so soundly.
