These 3 Are 4!!

Since it is the kids’ birthday, I thought it would be prudent to do the customary “through the years” picture post. It has been a lot of fun looking back through old pictures, though. They have grown so much! Can you believe these guys are four now?! It’s insane!

First, we'll start with their "birth" day.

  3. Looking at these pictures made me cry. It was so emotional for me when those babies were born. Because of my infertility, which I know you understand, I was jealous, mad, and hurt (not by you, but because it wasn't me, you know what I mean) when I found out that you were blessed with triplets, but I remember walking into the NICU for the very first time and the first glance that I got of those babies all that melted away. I had this instant love for them and knew that they would be a special part of my life forever. I love them as if they were my own and I hope they'll always know the love that I have for "my first babies" (hope you don't mind me calling them that?!). I wish we lived closer because I feel like we need each other in our daily lives! Anywho, that was a novel and a half, really I just wanted to say Happy Birthday and Mama, you've done a wonderful job with growing those babies into big kids!

    I can't beleive they are 4 already. They are real little people-not babies anymore(they have teeth..hehehe) But they will always be the babies to me.
