Troy and I can't believe that it has been a year since Tatum and Tanner were born. It has truly been the best year of our lives. What an amazing privilege we have, God trusts us with two of his children to raise!! WHAT A BLESSING!! We have had so much fun being parents.....from
-sleepless nights to sleeping 12 hours a night
-8 bottles a day to sippy cups
-crying to saying mama and dada
-6lbs to 23lbs
-laying in one place to walking ALL over the place
-sponge baths to swimming together all over the big bathtub
-being oblivious to the existence of toys to being entertained for hours by them
-milk to EVERYTHING(they love food)
-burp rags to bibs
-looks and babbles to hugs and kisses
-rookie parents to still rookie parents and learning something new everyday!
So crazy to think that those two big babies were in there!! This pic is at 36 weeks.
I went into labor on Jan. 25th around noon. Contractions were going great all afternoon and evening. Then that night they slowed down!!!! I was sooooo frustrated, I was ready for the twins to be there! Dr. Rowe said that since I was 36 weeks and 3 days that he would induce me in the morning if I didn't have them over night. Well the contractions went to every 8 min and there was no sign of any babies coming. He induced me at 7:00 that morning. Went through lots of pain until 10:00, got my wonderful epidural and it was smooth sailing till about 3:30. When it was time to deliver, my epidural didn't work, LONG STORY!! After some pushing, LOTS of pain my two healthy babies entered this world. It was SOOOOOO worth everything we had been through.
Waiting for the babies to come!
I'm a mommy of the two most amazing little people!!

Bringing in the babies for the first time, we were all SO excited!!
Mommy is in LOVE!!
It was so sweet how they both fit in the bassinet.
5 days old, they just went to the doctor for their first checkup!
So tiny!!
They loved to be close together and still do!!
Truly gifts from God!

Happy Birthday Kids! (I know it's not until tomorrow.) Great recap of the last year. I remember those pictures and I'm glad there were also some new ones you never put up. I LOVE the picture of Troy trying to hold them now in the same way as 3 months. Hilarious! Congratulations you guys! Keep it up!
What a wonderful birthday tribute to two special babies. We love all you and send birthday greetings!
Love, Kim & Stephen
