My TTTS Survivor is TWO!
Today is sweet Tiny’s 2nd Birthday. We celebrated on Saturday night with the family. It physically pained me to NOT put Kathryn’s name on the cake as well. But the thing is, I don’t want to take away from the joy and happiness of the day for my living twin daughter.
Look how tiny she was???
That little diaper was no bigger than a small sanitary pad, yet it engulfed her!
She fought hard to be here. Our road was long before we finally came home from the NICU (84 days!) But she did it. She is our amazing TTTS Survivor!
I am relieved that Kathryn died on the 12th, not the 10th. This way, I can honor her and celebrate her on her own special day.
Today, I celebrate my Tiny. I cannot believe my baby is two. I officially no longer have any babies. Toddlers and kids. Thankfully Tiny still looks like a baby, so she is stretching out this time frame for me.
I love you so much I can hardly stand it!
Thanks for deciding to stick with us sweet baby girl. Our lives are so much better with you in it!

December 10, 2013 at 1:19 pmYes, I do. I often feel guilty about feeling sad about Kathryn, because I am so blessed to have three healthy children. My little munch is so sweet and I am so thankful for her!

December 10, 2013 at 2:17 pmAmazing how joy and sadness and thankfulness and wistfulness and missing can coexist in a mother’s heart without canceling out one another in any way. Happy birthday to your sweet Tiny and to Kathryn as well. Love you, my friend!

Happy Happy Birthday.
Des is 17 months and I still call him a baby and I’m glad to know I can do it for another seven months!
