What a special day, today was!

I woke up today thinking it would be another ordinary day. Coffee with one of my besties, a play date with Baby Sam & his mommy, and at some point I had to take some obligatory pictures of Emma's 6 month birthday! Today, on April 25th, one of my friends, went into labor at 25 weeks gestation with twin boys. As soon as I got the text to lift them up in prayer, I dropped everything and sitting there praying, peace overflowed through my spirit and flesh. I can so freshly remember all the prayers lifted through my pregnancy with Emma and I firmly believe that each and everyone of those prayers were accounted for and God made sure those prayers were answered. And with each prayer lifted for these beautiful boys and knowing the hundreds of people lifting the same prayers, God is taking into account every single one of them and here I am stating that I firmly believe He will provide and answer! I have so much love for this precious family so if you happen to be reading this, please say a special prayer for these twins and the journey ahead for them.

And for my little birthday princess, Happy 1/2 year birthday Emma! You are growing leaps and bounds and it's amazing to see life through your eyes right now. You are on a schedule now, thanks to the help from some fabulous mommy friends, and life has gotten its groove back. You're sitting up so well now, rolling both ways, and have the cutest rolls to boot! <------that's probably just the "biased" in me coming out, but they are pretty darn cute & squishy! I haven't weighed you but you are getting so heavy and you are getting long! You wear 12 months size clothing very comfortably, but by golly, you are going to wear all your 9 month outfits even if it means two to three outfits a day! You haven't cut any teeth yet and really don't drool that much. You are a social lil' gal. You will go to most everyone and flash your gummy grin to most folks. I cannot get over how happy of a baby you are; God seriously knew I needed you little one! Your brother thinks you hung the moon and will do anything to make you happy. I love watching the bond between you two grow; it truly melts my heart and I intend to remind you of these days when you both want to tear each other apart.

All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better day to celebrate LIFE! God's miracles are all around us if we take the time to look. I am so blessed to celebrate the precious Norman twins and my sweet Emma.
