Just One More…

…or perhaps two.

Amazing

Filed under: Twice as Fun — Sommer at 1:44 pm on Wednesday, March 19, 2008

I love those quiet moments where I am suddenly consumed by the miracles that are my children.  This morning, I had been thinking about our first IVF and the three embryos that did not grow into babies.  I wondered who they might have been and quietly mourned their loss.  I would have loved to have known them as I know Calista, Ace and Nate.

Of course, without the loss of those three embryos, we would not have Ace and Nate, so for that, I am grateful.  Changing just one moment of the past would create a whole new future, and I’m not interested in a life any different than the one I am living today.

Calista has an interview for kindergarten next week — she is growing into such a little lady.  We butt heads a lot, but she is my princess and I love her dearly.

Ace and Nate are so different from one another, but are each so very sweet.  They have come so far in such a short time, and while I am anxious to see who they become, I am also cherishing their babyhood.

When Calista was younger, I had created a video montage of her life to date, and last night, created one for the boys.  Watching Ace and Nate’s really takes me back to the moment they were born and all of the joy and uncertainty I felt at the moment they arrived.

 Here is the montage:

This reminded me so much of when my boys were babies! They are almost 5 now, and I am not quite sure where the time went!! So sweet. :)
