A blog written as I journal my way through the ups and downs, the fair and unfair, the joys and disappointments.... all while remembering how very grateful I am.
Life is wonderful and difficult... and I am grateful!

"This was the beginning"
When I look at this photo I think "this was the beginning!" Before that time, before the girls, I had no idea what I was made of...or what was in store for me. Before I get to that, can I just say how cute the girls were?! Liz is on the left. When the girls were first born, Kaitlin was actually the sicker of the two... which is why she was still on oxygen 24/7 at the time of this photo. How precious are their little rolls and the drool-soaked onsies?
The girls were born on our first anniversary. Two months after our wedding I had my 4th surgery for endometriosis. My doctor advised that if we wanted children, we may want to start trying sooner rather than later as it could take years to get pregnant. A month after that advice we were pregnant, naturally, with twins. My poor, poor husband! Our five year plan for enjoying the newlywed stage and then starting a family went out the window. Elizabeth and Kaitlin arrived and our family was born.
