My Children..my heart!

I was blessed with fraternal twin daughters. Here I was, a young woman, that never had one child; and I was having two! Technology wasn't as advanced, so I didn't find out I was having two babies till August. They were due in November; but were born six wks early...on Oct 26th. My life would never be the same. I was lucky enough to have a Mother that lived close by. She was a huge help.  My parents couldn't have been  more  proud. After they wheeled  me out of labor on the gurney to the recovery room...under a warmed blanket I was shaking. My Daddy and Mama were nearby, and I looked at my Dad...and said, "how bout that Daddy?" I remember eating ice and sleeping some..I had lost so much blood I was weak. The girls were 6 lbs 10oz and 5lbs 10oz..healthy babies. We were so proud of them. In the room alone the next day, I prayed a prayer asking God to help me be the best Mother I could be. Now, those babies are 26; and independant. They look nothing like me, yet I carried them and took care of them! Funny how Lauren looked like my baby picture, and Kristen like her dad. Now, you see very little of me in them. But if you listen, you will hear it. The laughter, the personalities. The rebeling brunettes turning to blonde, the love of music, especially stringed instruments..and of course family. I am blessed beyond words. I just hope they know in their heart, I did the best I knew how...and I love them more than life.
