A Year Ago Today....

On this day last year, we found out we were expecting triplets!

I can't believe it's been a whole year. In a lot of ways it seems like it all happened five minutes ago. But, on the other hand, it seems like a lifetime ago. So much has happened since then and are lives are very different.

If there is one day that I could go back to and relive, it would be August 18, 2011. It was probably the craziest day of my life. I wish I could go back and remember it better. I think after they said "triplets", I totally blanked out and the shock and fear took over. I wish I could have enjoyed it more and been more excited about my three babies and less stressed out about the news.

But, that being said, there are parts of that day that are burned in my memory that I will never forget. And despite all the shock, it was such an amazing experience to learn that I had three babies growing away in my body and so happy to know that they were all healthy!


Last year, we walked out of our two hour fetal assessment, completely stunned with this picture in our hands:

I didn't know at the time that it would turn out to be the only picture that we have of our three babies together. It has turned out to be one of my favorite pictures ever and is framed in my bedroom and I look at it everyday.

I also got our photographer, Cynthia Korman  to make me this, which will one day hang in Garrett and Rhys' room should I ever get a spare moment or two to frame it!

One thing I will never forget about this day, and the days after, is the crazy amount of support and love we had extended to us from all of our friends and family. It was truly awesome, and we will always remember it. Thank you all!!!
