These 2 girls had their 9 month checkup today. 😭 They are 9 months old today and have officially quadrupled in their weight/growth charts since being born. They are in the 90% percentile for weight/height which is not a shocker knowing who I married! 🤪 I still remember our pediatrician saying at their 1st checkup after coming home from the hospital that months from now it will be hard to tell that they were once 5 pound preemie 36 week born tiny babies. I was thinking this doctor is crazy and sure enough look where these two healthy growing girls are now. 😭 Oh man there are SO many things I would go back and tell my pregnant new mom self. I’ll never forget how it felt finding out we were expecting identical twins at our 2nd ultrasound when we thought we were pregnant with just one baby. We were constantly reminded from that very moment all the risks and complications that could happen and I remember being fearful and having to remind myself daily to not let fear steal my joy and that God had a plan for these 2 babies. At 20 weeks we had a major pregnancy scare and I remember once again feeling so fearful of all the what if’s that could happen and having to fully lean on Jesus, my husband and family and know that God was faithful and he would take care of our girls. At 33/34 weeks my blood pressure started to get high and extreme swelling put us on hospital bed rest and I remember preparing to have F & G at 33/34 weeks and knowing once again all the risks that could happen. But once again God showed that he was in control and these girls stayed put and were born at 36 weeks and completely healthy which shocked doctors for some of the what if’s that could of been. Having a high risk pregnancy after infertility and loss was one of the hardest things I have ever done and it challenged my Faith in ways that I will always remember that God has the final say and his plans are always good. Being a first time mom to twin babies is not always the easiest and it continues to soften my heart, mold me and grows my heart in ways that I never knew it could. F & G I’m so thankful to be YOUR mama. ❤️🌈🌈
