Nine Months
The girls are officially nine months old (and a day, I’m late)… time sure does fly. Nine months isn’t necessarily a “special” birthday, but I think most parents kind of feel like it is. When you first find out you’re pregnant, your first thought is to calculate a date that’s nine months out. Nine becomes an almost magical number that you think about almost every day. It’s your goal; it signifies the beginning of a whole new life that’s scary and exciting.
When the girls were in the hospital we were still focused on nine months. That was our new goal — get the girls to when their due date was and we could go home.
So it’s hard to shake that special feeling that saying “nine months” gives you. The girls are nine months old and we couldn’t be happier.
