One Year Ago Today

Remember when all the pics we had of the twins were ultrasound images like these?

    

Funny how their personalities were already starting to show at 30 weeks of life inside Mommy. Zeke (on left) tries to suck his thumb and Gabriel sleeps with arms stretched high above his head — both characteristics the boys still possess.

I was looking at these old ultrasound photos because it was a year ago today that I underwent fetoscopic laser surgery for TTTS at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. As you all know, Gabriel and Zeke are now happy, healthy and adorable 9-month-old boys.

Still taking care of each other — just like they did in the womb!

And dwelling on the miracle that all babies are, but especially Gabriel and Zeke since they would probably not have survived my pregnancy if it weren’t for the brilliant folks at Cincy’s Fetal Care Center; excellent medical care here at home; the prayers of friends and strangers; the support of our family, friends, neighbors and church; and last but not least, the grace of God, makes me so thankful for the awesome blessing that is my life with Clan Dillingham!
