Can’t believe the end of 2016 is here. There were so many special and memorable
moments that my family and I shared this year.
I did my best to narrow my favorite moments down to my TOP FIVE
1. The Birth of My Twins.
I have so much to be thankful for with this milestone. My babies were born at 33 weeks 4 days and
they are healthy and thriving. This
moment taught me a lot about how to adapt when things do not go as planned, as
well as, patience. Thirteen days went by
before I was able to bring my babies home and leaving them at the hospital was
the hardest thing that I ever had to do.
I will post all about my birth story in a future blog post.
2. My
husband and I celebrated SIX years of Marriage.
We celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary on April 17th. My husband and I have been together for
twelve years and he is still my best friend.
He continues to outdo himself every year on our anniversary.
This year he had a special dinner planned at the Detroit
Athletic Club and we were planning on going to a play afterwards. I was 6.5 months pregnant with our twins and
had begun feeling very uncomfortable.
As much as I love plays, the thought of sitting through a play in a
theater sounded like a nightmare. I
never had to utter those words to my husband; he knew that maybe the play was
not the best idea for us, so he planned for us to just continue our evening at
the top of the Detroit Athletic Club. We
overlooked the stars and we had a great time talking and relaxing.
I still feel horrible about ruining our plans from our
anniversary. This year I am going to
plan our anniversary and I have decided that I am going to wear my wedding
dress the ENTIRE day. I can’t wait to blog
about the adventures we will have in my wedding dress 7 years after we have
said “ I do”.
3. I
turned 33!
We celebrated my 33rd birthday with a SURPRISE
gender reveal for my friends and family.
The look on everyone’s face was priceless.
I was able to convince my mother to cut the cake. As she cut the cake and placed it on the
plate she saw the filling that we had dyed blue and pink. She was so excited and could not stop crying.
We made a huge scene in the restaurant to say the least, but
it was AMAZING!
4. Baby
Moon
My doctor gave me a heads up early on that he will be
restricting my travel pretty early on.
We had a trip planned in February with friends and we
decided to make this our baby moon. We
realistically knew that we would not have any time to plan another trip before
my restrictions.
We went on our Baby Moon in Tampa Florida and we stayed on a
friend’s yacht. This was such a new
experience for me because the only yacht I had ever been on was a cruise
boat.
5. Baby
Shower
My god sister and friend came together and gave me a
beautiful baby shower. Thank goodness I
was able to attend because I ended up surprisingly having my twins three days
later
2016 had been an AMAZING year of firsts, learning, love and
I am so grateful for everything it has taught me.
Happy New Year to you all!!
XOXO
