birthday eve.

I'm not sure where the time has gone, but tonight we tucked our darling girls into bed for the last time as 3-year-olds. four. tomorrow they will be four.

so many emotions are flooding my heart... four years ago tonight, c was admitted into the hospital for 24 hour monitoring. four years ago tonight, we met with one of the neonatologists. he was as gentle and kind as he could be as he told us that the odds weren't in our favor. four years ago tonight, my naivete got the best of me- I was certain that we had a few more weeks before we would meet our little girls- 25 weeks was just too early. four years ago tonight was our final night as a family of three.

we don't need a day set aside to celebrate the birth of our girls... we celebrate them every. single. day... because we know the fear that we felt when all we had was the hope that they would be here with us to celebrate them. but tomorrow... tomorrow we shall party... like only four-year-olds can!

from a doughnut breakfast with mommy and a pizza and cake frozen party to a visit to the nicu with goodies and gifts, it is sure to be a spectacular day!

happy birthday eve, lyncoln and quinn!
