2015 in Review

I think it's safe to say that 2015 was our best year yet!  Our highest high was obviously having our two little angels being born in February!  Our low for the year would probably be saying good-bye to Ben's grandmother over the summer.  I like to reminisce so I thought It would be fun to recap the year and take a look back on what we did each month!

January

• We rang in 2015 with the realization that we would be parents this year! 

• Final preparations were made for the arrival of our girls!

February

• I went to a routine doctor's appointment on February 9th only to find my perfect blood pressure was a little high.  Was sent to the hospital for monitoring and long story short, left a week later with our babies!

Noelle

 

Noelle & Natalie

 

• February 12, 2015, we welcomed Natalie & Noelle into the world!  We couldn't have been happier (or more tired!)  We brought them home on February 15th and headed back to the hospital on the 16th for body temperature issues.  We finally came home for good two days later.
