As my babies will turn one year old TOMORROW (how did that happen??), I have been reflecting back on when they were born and where we were a year ago. I really don't think about our time in the hospital very much at all. I don't like to think about it...ever. It gets me too upset to go back and look at photos of the girls when they were first born. I feel like I have really blocked out that couple months of our lives. It is pretty hazy, which is probably a good thing. If you just started following my blog and would like to see how far the girls have come, take a look at
this page.
I used to frequent The Bump Preemie Board before I had my babies. I wanted to be as prepared for what my babies would look like and what they would go through as I could. I honestly have not been on this board in maybe 8 months. I would look for specific questions shortly after the girls came, but that too faded once they got older. I took a look this morning and found this awesome post. It's a
Then and Now post. Take a look at this and you will be honestly amazed. These babies are all such miracles! I had goose bumps looking at all of these photos. What amazing, precious, little gifts from God all of these babies are!
Here is a Then and Now photo of each of my girls:

We are so, so blessed with these little ones. I don't like to think about all that time in the hospital either. Can't believe they are a year old. The time went so fast!
