4 Years Old!

*This is a long post!*

It will almost make you sad if you think too much about how fast time goes. But today is a happy day.

My twins turn 4 years old! I cannot imagine my life without these two little blessings!

So very opposite, and so much fun!

I almost didn't post this photo! Me at full capacity! I think I was trying to blend into the bush.

We had went out for a walk, apparently when I still could.

At the last part of the pregnancy I couldn't make it very far. =)

I went full term with them, 37 weeks. Don't slap me through the computer, but honestly it was the easiest labor. I had been sitting dilated to a 4 for a week, so when I checked into the hospital that saturday I almost immediately received an epidural. So I had no pain, and was able to have them without c-section. Although Miss Blair decided to be a bit stubborn, hmm still is, and came out feet first.

Jude had to visit the NICU for a few days and then we were home with two healthy babies. What a blessing! I will never forget, that I thought having them home was a piece of cake. You know at first all they do is eat and sleep. It wasn't until they got a little older that the reality of having almost triplets set in. But that is a different story, for a different day. =)

Blair was such a good baby, the best baby. She was a self soother, and was almost always in a happy mood. She cracks me up, she is on this kick of wanting to be just like mommy. If we go out to our favorite little cafe she asks if I am getting a tea, and if I am, them she wants one too. If Josh offers her gum she asks if I am having some before she answers if she wants a piece. It makes me smile. She has her daddy wrapped around her finger and adores him as much as he adores her. She laughs at everything he says! LOL Makes me laugh just thinking about it!

Jude on the other hand was a grump, but one look at his sweet smile made it all better.

And I know this is going to sound crazy, but he had that mysterious man thing going on from the get go.

You know the kind of thing that makes you want to be around them all the time. Something that just pulls you to them. He can still be a little turkey, but as soon as he flashes you that million dollar smile, you can't help but want to eat him up.

Ugh, three butts in diapers! How did I ever survive that!?

LOL

Never mind that Jude has on a pink blanket. You know it was whatever was on hand kind of a household. I promise he never wore her clothes, though I can't say the same thing for her. = )
