Today marks the Terrific Trio’s second birthday. Since we have a chicken pox attack wafting its way through the house, the celebrations will be delayed a few days or maybe even weeks. Tonight I walked into their bedroom and thought back two years… it was Sunday night and they were almost twelve hours away from being born. The situation with Tess seemed to be status quo, and we thought that just maybe we could squeek another week or two out of the pregnancy. But over the course of the next twelve hours the preterm labour picked up it’s pace, and by about 4 to 5 AM the writing was on the wall: the triplets were going to be born. Two years later they have done amazingly well, praise be to God, the incredible healthcare we received from the Queen Mary Hospital NICU and the support from our friends and family. A special mention goes to Lita, Mila and De, who day in and day out for twenty-one months have provided the Terrific Trio with extraordinary, reliable, consistent care.
JASPER, 2.2 lbs (l) at birth; February 2006 (r) playing with a balloon.
SELA, 2.1 lbs (l) at birth; February 2006 (r) doing Wiggles moves.
CARYS, 1.65 lbs (l) at birth; February 2006 (r) doing Wiggles moves.
You’ve come a long way babies.
We’re proud of you and love you!

Happy Birthday to the Terrific Trio! What a beautiful bunch of babes and indeed, how far they have come in 2 short years. There really isn’t anything they cannot overcome now!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and such nice comments. Maybe I’ll post an explaination of how the heck I’ve ended up where I am today…..maybe LOL
I have to admit, I don’t know where the quote “Don’t be afraid, just believe” comes from. It sounds awfully familiar and I’m leaning towards Finding Nemo! LOL
Best wishes to your beautiful family!
Happy birthday to the Terrific Trio. Looking back to the Nicu can be painful, but look what you’ve got now.
