A lot has happened over the last 12 months, there have been many highs and a number of lows. But most importantly I am continually reminded just how lucky we are.
This time 12 months ago I was being wheeled into the labour ward and very vividly recall telling every one not to get too excited as I was not having our babies anytime soon and that I was there for at least 2 weeks of bed rest. I am not sure whether it was denial and believe it or not 12 months later and I am still surprised. If you haven't seen the birth story you can read it here
In my final few weeks of pregnancy I vividly recall not being able to eat much, struggling to keep food down, I couldn't sleep, was incredibly tired, very uncomfortable and I had terrible tachycardia (my resting heart rate hovered around the 130bpm mark) to name but a few struggles that I was having.
I remember being told that 32 weeks was an awesome milestone to meet and then the babies would be safe enough to deliver. From the very beginning I prayed every night that we would make it to 32 weeks and we would have three healthy babies, but towards the end I changed my goals and revised it to 30 weeks, which I succeeded in doing. Amazing!
All though ours days are sometimes long and always busy I am forever thankful of our amazing blessings that are Addison, Spencer and Hudson. Never in a million years would I have suspected that this is what the universe had planned for me, nor did I imagine how fulfilled I would be.
I am no 'super mum' just keeping on top of things and I do admit that super powers would be great when everyone is sick like they were earlier in the week.
Everyday I love watching the interaction between my four children and watching their bond grow. The joy and laughter they bring to each other is the most amazing interaction to watch.
So the preparations are complete and I am very much looking forward to sharing tomorrow with some very special family and friends to celebrate the mayhem, the craziness and the joy that three precious souls bring to our lives. But far out we did it! We have survived our first year of multiple madness and can still laugh about the craziness. And we couldn't have done it without any of you xxx
