I have been tired for a year...

It was one year ago tomorrow that we found out we were having twins. Twins. The ultrasound tech didn't see it at first. Shane had to convince her to look really close to make sure there was only one baby. And when she looked again, there was little Baby B.
.
I was already super sick by the time we went in for that ultrasound. And I was only 6 weeks along. So we knew something was up.
.
As you well know, I was sick long into the second trimester. Then there were a few weeks that I call the Glory Days. I felt better, was not working, got to be with Silas every day, and was not quite huge enough to be uncomfortable yet. But the hugeness came soon enough and the Glory Days were over.
.
As you also well know, I would never trade rest for the joy that these babies have brought to our lives. I am more tired tonight than ever, but almost started crying as I thanked the Lord for each of them and Silas as I put them to bed.
.
It seems somewhat fitting that tomorrow will be a monumental day this year as well. Tomorrow we move into our new home. And tomorrow the babies will finally have their own room. I have incredibly mixed emotions about it. I am so ready for them to move into their own space.
.
However, looking at them in their beds next to me tonight I know there are going to be days very soon when I miss this...
