At this time last year, this day felt so far away! My girls are turning one in just two days! Some might say "We made it!" And while I'm so incredibly proud of not only myself and my husband for raising two precious baby girls at the same time, I'm also so proud of these two beauties and who they are becoming. This time last year I couldn't wait for them to arrive. I was miserably pregnant, hot and just ready for the next phase in our lives. Now I look back and think to myself, that was the last time that I would ever experience pregnancy. Everything that we've experienced over this last whirlwind of a year was for the last time. I remember leaving the maternity ward in a wheelchair with our new bundles in tow. I looked back and my eyes filled with tears, because having spent so much time there last year for testing, I got to know the nurses and I realized that I wouldn't be back.
Everyone told us how challenging this would be; that raising two babies would be one of the hardest things that we'd ever do. Honestly, I feel like I was made to be a twin mom. Not once did I ever come close to any kind of breaking point. Not once did I think I couldn't handle it. God gave us two of the sweetest girls and not only did this last year fly, but it brought my husband and I closer, it taught Rhylan patience, selflessness and responsibility and seeing the joy in those who've gotten to know Emersyn & Everly over this last year has been amazing.
Their first birthday is a bittersweet feeling. I started planning their party months ago and I don't think that it really hit me until now that it's actually happening. My girls are ONE. ONE!! They aren't helpless little babies anymore. They are individuals with personalities! Everly Morgan is our serious one. You have to work for those laughs and grins, but when she lights up, it's so amazing! She lights up a room with her beautiful grin and silly laugh. And it's just downright funny when you do everything to make her laugh and she remains sober. And then there's little miss Emersyn Kate. One word - HILARIOUS! This girl is always smiling. She laughs at everything and is one of the happiest girls that you'll ever meet. She even wakes with a smile on her face. They are both incredibly curious about the world and always up for an adventure or a day out with mommy!
Soon they'll be taking steps and then it's up, up and away from there! I'm looking forward to the future, but at the same time, it's hitting me that each and every first is for the last time.
