I really have no words to describe the range of emotions I feel around the twin's bday. All I know is yesterday was a blast and we are so grateful for having so many people who love Serena and Edwin, and who came out to celebrate their special day. Here are a ton of pictures from their 2nd birthday party, and couple from the days before!
Happy Birthdays S&E So sorry we couldn't make it... I just couldn't get myself together enough to pull it off, plus Bryce has a URI and I didn't want to spread our "wealth" I would feel awful if any of you got it. Looks like it was a great time the kids look great adn I hope we can get together VERY soon!
Happy Birthday Serena and Edwin!!! Looks like they had a fantastic birthday party. And there are some really cute kiddos in your mix of friends and family :)
Happy Second Birthday!! It looks like you had a wonderful time! Ross and Riley wanted to let you know that being two is TONS of fun! They can't wait to see the great things you accomplish this year!!!
Happy Birthday!!! I have not had much time lately to look at blogs, but it's amazing that everytime I look at the pictures of S&E, they have changed!!! They are sooo big!!!
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Our story
After 5 months of a healthy pregnancy with spontaneous twins, we found out at 23 weeks and 2 days gestation something was terribly wrong. For reasons still unknown, I was in preterm labor, 3 cms dilated and my membranes with baby A were funneling out of my cervix. I lasted only 3 days on bedrest with meds in the hospital, and on September 29, 2006, Serena and Edwin, Jr were born at only 23 weeks 5 days gestation. They weighed 1lb 3oz and were 12" long. They were in the NICU for 122 days and we encountered some of the most frightening times of our lives. We nearly lost Edwin many times, and it is truly a miracle that both survived. Serena and Edwin, Jr are amazing and show us every day just how precious life is and how amazing it can be. We are humbled by the support and love we have found since entering this world of prematurity. Currently, our preemie "struggles" involve Edwin's hypotonic cerebral palsy and need for a reverse walker and AFOs, Serena's paralyzed vocal cord, and their continued oxygen needs while sick. We are passionate about issues related to prematurity and about sharing the very special lives of two amazing children.
I am first and foremost a mom, who works with "at-risk" youth in after-school settings. I am currently pursuing a masters in school counseling. Edwin, Sr is a professional boxer with a record of 10-0 with 7KOs. My email address is rapa.stephanie@gmail.com
