And then there were 3...

My daughter did something not many women do, she gave birth to 3 baby boys in less than 1 year.
Shocking? Yes, but she also knows the pain of having 2 miscarriages.  Her twins are her rainbow babies and I believe God gave them both back to her when the time was right and exactly how it was meant to be.  I am so excited to be a grandma again! One more little boy to steal my heart...

On March 23, 2018, my fraternal twin grandson's were born at 32 weeks 5 days gestation.  We thought she went into labor early because it was twins, but apparently, that was not the case.  Her 2nd pregnancy, a singleton, had a due date of April 9, 2019 and on March 4th came baby boy #3 at 34 weeks 6 days gestation.  My daughter is now among the women who are at risk of preterm labor.  Regardless of how early they arrived, we are so fortunate that all 3 boys were born strong and healthy with no major complications and grateful she was able to carry them to a safe point in their development to have such a favorable outcome with each boy.  By the way, my girl is a trooper; all natural delivery both times!  Not many women do that these days and to those that choose natural birth (no pain meds) or have no choice, I salute you!!  Child birth is no joke!!

I've always heard that the love you feel for your grandchildren is so different than any love you've ever experienced.  I can now say, that statement is so true.  I was a young mom; 19 when I gave birth to my daughter and 23 when I gave birth to my son.  Times were hard for us, but we made the best of it.  Hind sight is 20/20 and for me, loving my twin grandsons feels like a 2nd chance to be an even better grandmother.  I can't go more than 5 days without seeing them.  Their smiles, giggles and crying is everything to me.  Each time I see the twins, they're reaching another milestone and look so grown up.  It's hard to believe they were premies weighing 4 pounds at birth and now I have another premie to love.  Time truly does not wait for anyone, and I just pray that God grants me with many more healthy years to be able to love on my grand babies and watch them grow up.  Thanking God for my 5 gifts; Jasmine, Will, Mason, Dominic and Roman.  I am one blessed woman!  I am one blessed mom!  I am one blessed grandma!
