Our sweet babies are HERE!!!!

May 12th was a very special day for us!!!

Our twins were born at 36 weeks.....

 I can't believe it...

we've got two more sweet GIRLS!!!!!

Emily Brooks 

12:29pm

5lbs, 2oz 

We've always loved the name Emily!  Brooks is my mother's maiden name and I somehow wanted

to incorporate it into our new family.  Our sweet little Emily will definitely wear it well.

Margaret (Margo) Grace 

12:30pm

5lbs, 15oz

Margaret was my husband's grandmother who passed away on April 11th. She was absolutely 

one-of-a-kind, and we hope our little Margaret will be as funny, sweet and wonderful as "Mema" was.

 Big Sister Betsy is taking her role very seriously and is doing a great job.

 We are all at home, resting and enjoying our newest little McDs.  

To say that we feel blessed is an understatement!

Happy Mother's Day!

I think this sums it up best.  Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day!!!!!!!!

Before I was a Mom;

I made and ate hot meals,

I had unstained clothing,

I brushed my hair every day,

I had quiet conversations on the phone,

I slept as late as I wanted and I slept all night long.

Before I was a Mom;

I cleaned my house each day,

I never tripped over toys or forgot lullabies,

I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous,

I had never been puked on, pooped on, spit on, chewed on, peed on, or

pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom;

I never thought about immunizations,

I never held a screaming child so the doctors could give shots,

I never looked into teary eyes and cried,

I never felt my heart break into pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt,

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

Before I was a Mom;

I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down,

I never sat up late hours of the night watching a baby sleep,

I never got up in the middle of the night to make sure everything was okay,

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

Before I was a Mom;

I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts and my body,

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside of my body,

I didn't know that having something so small could make me feel so

important,

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,

the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a mom.

Before I was a Mom;

I never knew that something so small could effect my life so much,

I never knew that I could love someone so much,

I never knew I would love being a Mom,

I didn't know the bond between a Mother and her child,

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much.
