Happy Birthday to my BIG Girls!

this post is mainly going to be pictures, tomorrow after they go for their physical, i will do a more detailed post of their birthday party. anyway, 2 years ago on Feb. 2, 2005 at 2:33 & 2:34 p.m. we welcomed two little girls into the world. first was


Kelsey Faith ~ 5 lbs. even and 18 1/4 in. long. followed by


Kaylee Grace ~ 4lbs. 5oz. and 18 in. long.


They were 6 1/2 weeks early, but were healthy. They had a feeding tube for about 2 weeks just because they were so small and needed to learn to eat and breathe simultaneously. They got to come home 2 1/2 weeks later. Here are some pics from the day they were born and the nicu stay:

daddy and his girls (in all the pics, kelsey is on the right and kaylee on the left)

in this pic below, you can see just how tiny they were. kelsey was the bigger one and is on the right. my hand is next to her head and is about the size of her head.kelsey's first bath in a real bathtub, they had been bathing them in little pink throw up buckets. they were 15 days old here.
kaylee's first real bath
still tiny at 1 mo. old (finally growing out of their preemie clothes)
one month old and swimming in 0-3 mo. clothing


their first year was pretty uneventful with exception for the first 2 1/2 weeks in the hospital. once they hit their first birthday (got their first ear infection on their first b-day), that all changed. if you are a faithful viewer of the blog, then you know all that the girls have been through: numerous ear infections, colitis, pneumonia, croup, tubes, and kaylee's tb. if you are not a faithful viewer, then feel free to go back to the beginning of my blog and you can read all about it. things have gotten better now and we have not been to the dr. for a sickness is atleast 2 weeks....lol. i am holding my breathe. the stats for their one year check up were: Kelsey ~ 19 lbs, 10 1/2 oz. and 29 in. long, and Kaylee~ 18lbs. 11 1/2 oz. and 29 in. long. here are some pics from their first b-day and following(they are in no particular order as it would have taken way to long):
















and of course, here are some from their second b-day(i will post more b-day pics tomorrow):




i hope you enjoyed the post

What darling pictures, they are so adorable! I know I have already said it, but Happy Birthday! You really celebrated their life here well :) Can't wait for those stats... I have a feeling they are much bigger than my girls are right now!
