Happy Birthday, Midget Girlies!

Today, my babies turn THREE!

THREE!!!

How on earth did that happen?

Three years ago today, I woke up in the hospital - hurting from an emergency surgery that happened at 2am - half in disbelief that down that hall, in the NICU, two teeny little princesses were mine to hold and love. The other half of me was scared witless (that wasn't the word I was going to use, but this is a b-day post for toddlers preschoolers).

Everyday I now watch as these amazing little babies -  these preemies who so rocked my world - turn into little ladies (though sometimes, from the mouth on her, I'm not sure Buggie will ever be a true lady)

But let me tellya - I love these two little midgets so much more than I ever thought it was possible to love a human being.

I love the way Doodle sees her little world! And how she can change the way I see it!   She helps me notice things that would otherwise pass me by!

I love Buggie's happy-go-lucky attitude! and her infectious little smile!   Even my worst day is made better by her presence.

I love that Doodle will get my attention and pull me aside so she can tell me she loves me.  Our one on one time is insanely special to me.

I love that Buggie will sing and dance all day!  Her beautiful voice makes my heart sing.

I love the stories Doodle makes up from the storybooks we share! Her retention and creativity will serve her well - though I may come to regret that when she's a teen!

I love that Buggie will only draw smiley faces!   It shows that she is positive to the core!


I love that they are sweet and beautiful and grateful and generous!

I love the special bond they share!

Happy birthday, midget girlies!   

Momma loves you more than you will ever know!
