I can't believe that today my little boys turn 3. All morning I did what my mom always did and said "I remember what I was doing 3 years ago today". I kept thinking back to your birthday and remembering how nervous and excited that Daddy and I were. When I look at what tough, strong little boys you are I can't believe that these are the babies that we anticipated being so tiny. We had sooooo many doctor's appointments for you guys because you were considered high risk. They checked your growth almost weekly. The doctors prepared us that you would be small and probably be sent to NICU. I was mentally preparing to have to come home without you and visit you in the hospital. I tried to prepare your Daddy. He kept telling me that you wouldn't need all that and both of you would be over 5 lbs. Noah, you were 5lbs7oz and Nathan, you were 6lbs13oz. You were healthy and perfect. Not only did you come straight to our room with us but you left the hospital with mommy in 4 days. You are our little miracle boys.
You came home and were the most perfect babies. Yes, you had to eat every 3 hours on the dot. (no exceptions!!!) At night you would eat and go right back to sleep snuggled up together. You rarely ever cried unless you were hungry. I would have never survived taking care of 2 infants and a toddler if you you both had not been such good natured babies.
I can't believe 3 years have gone by. It has flown by. I won't say it hasn't been hard especially after you became mobile. (Watch out and nail everything down!) I have enjoyed every minute of the last 3 years watching you two grow and change.
Happy birthday my sweet baby boys!
Love,
Mommy
