Happy Birthday to me!...

Well we made it! We made it through the "terrible two's" and have now entered what I have been told is even "better" than the two's... the three's! WOO HOO! Yes the tribe has turned three! We want to give a BIG thank you to all that have helped us get to where we are today! Today at church we were reminded of our HUGE church family. It was wonderful seeing a few of the volunteers that helped make those first few months bearable. If it was not for each of you we would not have been able to do it! SO again thanks! Today has been a day of reflection for me. It seems like yesterday that I was sitting in our fertility doctors office crying my eyes out thinking I would never have a child of my own. Little did I know then that our lives would be drastically different in such a few short years! WOW! SO much has gone on since that day! A miracle happened that day when against all odds we went for our last IVF cycle, implanting the last three embryos we had left. Never being pregnant I did not think they would take.You see I had about given up my faith in getting any of my prayers answered. Apparently God really did have a plan for us! Again, WOW! We had MANY people praying for & look where we are today, the proud parents of three year old quadruplets! I think back to when they all fit in the same crib. Now you can barely get them to stay still to pose for a picture! AMAZING how time flys when you are BUSY BUSY BUSY! Where do I begin to say what a gift it is to be their parents? Yes, it is HARD work! Yes I have bad days where I want to pull my hair out! Yes I wish we could afford to send them to preschool just so I could have a moment to breath! But through all of the hard stuff I am just happy to be called Mom. Motherhood is one of the best gifts I ever could have been given! Each year that we get to celebrate their miraculous birth is even more precious to me! I especially get excited when they chime in and sing...


Happy Birthday to me!...
