Happy Gestational Birthday!

This was supposed to be the girls' first birthday.  I'm so glad that it's not.  If this had been the day that they were born a year ago we would have missed out on so much.  We would have missed out on so many wonderful friendships that we started with nurses, doctors, therapists, fellow patients, social workers, chaplains, cafeteria workers, maintenance people, security guards, case managers....the list goes on.  Each of these people have been such a blessing to our lives and continue to be.  And on top of that they offer us an opportunity to be a blessing back to them.  Our difficult road has been just that, difficult, but the blessings it has provided have been too numerous to count.  Yes, our girls have had to endure things that no babies should have to endure.  But as is the case with all of our struggles as children of God, He truly does work ALL THINGS together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
