My mood while writing this blog: happy

My babies celebrated their 1st Birthdays today. I can't believe they are finally a year old!!! This past year was definitely difficult, especially the first six months, but thank God for today. I was so depressed when I had to leave them in the NICU and go home empty handed. Words can't describe the feelings of helplessness and despair when you know the little angels that you carried with you for 8 months are alone in a hospital room on the other side of town. It killed me to see all those tubes on my babies. I just wanted to take them home and protect them from the evil blood drawing nurses. I didn't sleep more than three hours a night for almost seven months and thought I would die of sleep deprivation, but God sustained me and helped me run on fumes. I knew it would eventually get easier and when my husband finally returned from his deployment on January 15th I got some much needed rest. Since then my babies have grown so much and started sleeping through the night. My three oldest children have been fantastic helpers!!! If it weren't for them I wouldn't even be able to take a shower or go grocery shopping. We get funny looks and comments when we go out in public with five children but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my children and I can't wait for our newest arrival due next year.

The girls each have five teeth now, and they are working on number six. They started crawling in April and have been cruising our house for the past month. I'm in no rush to have them take those first unassisted steps, but something tells me it won't be long. They are a little over 15 lbs now and even though they still aren't on the "growth chart" they are perfectly fine in my opinion. They've come a long way from 4 lbs and I love them so much. I hear one of them waking up so I better go, Vinessa
