Happy 1st Birthday my sweet Sadie and Sawyer ♥ One year ago today our lives changed forever and for the better!!

Today has come so fast and I can't believe that my babies are growing up! The past year has been scary, crazy busy and so much fun! We would not trade it for anything. I still remember the feelings I was feeling last year at this time and it was so overwhelming and wonderful. We had gone in to the hospital at 6 am to be induced and I thought cool, in just a few short hours I will have two new babies and life will be great. Well we waited and waited and waited all day long for those sweet babies to decide that they were ready enough to come. And finally after all day of waiting to get to a 10 it was finally time and at 6:00 pm that night it was time. The nurse wanted me to do a practice run of pushing because she said it could take up to a hour or so since this was my first baby, well as soon as I started to push she was like ok you need to stop baby is coming and we need to wait for the doctor and get you into the room. ( Sadie was right there and wanted out!) So I was wheeled down to the operating room to get all prepped for the delivery and I was so scared, I just wanted everything to be OK with my babies and wanted to see them so bad. :)

So they got me all ready and I had to be in the operating room just in case I needed a C section, luckily both babies were able to stay head down and all went well. By the time we got in there and the Doctor showed up it was after 6 and at 6:46 pm Sadie was born and was so tiny! They took her away over to get all checked out and even before I could see her they took her away to the NICU. :( Then at 6:56 pm after he broke my other water Sawyer was born. He was just a bit bigger than sister, but still looked so small. After they got him all cleaned up they let me see him for a second and kiss him and then he was off to the NICU to be with sister. They were both having a hard time breathing so once Sawyer was born Lance went down there with both of them to make sure they were OK. Then I was taken to my room and called the family and let them know that they were born. I did not get to see them till 11:00 that night and I was dying to see them! It was the best thing ever when I finally got to see them and hold them!

It is still amazing to me that I gave birth to two babies, it was the coolest experience I have ever had and I am so glad that I was able to have this opportunity to bring two little one's into the world and raise them! It has been wonderful for Lance and I too see them grow and change and just be able to have them in our family. We love them so much and can't imagine our lives with out them. So here is what our lives have been like over the past year. We hope you enjoy the pictures.

This was us the night before I had the twins! I look back and think how scared we were that night and excited all in one! I didn't gain much weight since I was so sick. But I think what I did gain it was all in my face, it looks huge in this picture! :) I can't believe I am posting this picture, I think only Lance and my parents have seen this one. But owell, it's on here now! I felt like I was so big, everyone kept telling me I didn't look like I was carrying twins, but I sure felt like I looked it! I was all out in front. My tiny little Sadie bug born first and weighing 4 lbs 7 oz at birth and now around 18 lbs! Yes, she is still tiny and has not gained a hole lot, but she is doing wonderful. ( I don't know her exact weight yet since we have not gone to their 1 year appointment, but think she is around that weight.
My cute Sadie Christine, Lance went in to check on them that night and she was loving her little fingers. Sawyer Lance 5 lbs 11 0z at Birth and now he is 23 lbs! They were both hooked up to things the first night they were born, but by morning they were able to be in my room and I was one very happy new mommy! I worried all night long if they were doing OK and if they would be able to be with me that next day.

My little man Sadie baby

This was the very first time I actually got to hold them both with out them all hooked up to things. I was so tired that morning as you can see! ( I am still bugged that our camera date was off, it says it's the 2nd that day but it was really the 3rd!) Owell. ( I worry way to much) :)

The morning my two bundles of joy were brought into my room. They were so tiny and precious! My mom put these cute signs out for us at our house. The day we came home with them, so cute and tiny!
