A Year Later

I'm writing this tonight, a day before the 1 year anniversary of the day we found out that we were having triplets. We have a busy day tomorrow so I'm taking advantage of the few quiet moments I have!!
 
One year ago, on New Years Eve 2012, we walked into my OB's office as nervous as you can be for our ultrasound, hoping to see a healthy baby with a beating heart. We had a sad, terrifying experience before this so our nerves were high! I will never ever forget this day!! It seemed like FOREVER before the ultrasound tech said " I see 2 babies with heartbeats and one baby without one". A few minutes later, she was able to see the third heartbeat! As you know, we were shocked, excited and scared!!!  They also told us, that baby C probably wouldn't make it. Well, we all know how that story ended...we have 3 perfect babies now! Thank you, God!
 
This is the ultrasound picture we walked out with that day and continued to stare at for hours, days and weeks until my next appt.
 
 
And this is what we stare at now, a year later....
3 perfect, healthy almost 6 month olds!
 
 
Carter
 
 
Annie
 
 
Brennan
 
We knew our lives were going to become crazy. What we didn't know was how much love, joy, and laughter these 3 would bring to our life!
 
 
2013 has been the best year!! I can't wait to see what 2014 and the many years to come have in store for our family of 5!
 
 
Hope everyone has a happy and safe New Years! I'm sure we will be in bed by 10! haha
 
Love,
J
