The babies are a week old today.
I feel like a new person. Every day I feel better than the day before.
I feel stronger
and happier
and more blessed than ever

Yahoo! Welcome home. We've missed you. I'm so glad to hear you're doing great. The babies are beautiful but I am still tripping out that there are two instead of 1. Crazy.

I feel all happy and warm inside when I think of you and your lovely babies, the older ones too. Darling, simply darling.

Emma Jo said...

So this might be a silly question but I don't recall an answer anywhere, are they identical?

They are absolutely ADORABLE! Can't wait to show my youngest son, he was thrilled to see the photos when they were born -- we all were.
I'm absolutely thrilled to know you are feeling SO much better SO quickly.
With all the comments you get you may have missed -- if there is ANYTHING those of us long distant friends can do, anything you need for the older kids or the babies, PLEASE let us know.
Loads of love to you and your famiiy.

July. July I will see you in person my cute nieces. I will hug you and I will be able to tell you apart :) And I'll get to feed you and change you and take your siblings to the beach and mostly I'll get to hug my sister, who, while I love you babies, I love her more. You girls will learn to love each other like I love your mom. You will mean everything to each other, like she means to me. Thanks for finally coming out of her so that I could stop crying myself to sleep knowing she was in pain. I love you babies! And I love you Brittany.
