A Year Ago Today...

A bit late on the post today thanks to a pre-6am start at work and traveling all day.

Last year at this time, we actually thought things were going pretty well. This post classifies the day as boring...wish that had lasted! Tomorrow would be when the excitement began - slowly at first, but then building.

Today is the day that Ollie died. Not the date of course, but the relative time to his birthday - 2 days before. I've become increasingly anxious as we have approached this 1st birthday milestone with these little tykes. Today I'm glad that I was very, very busy and did not have time to ponder. Oliver didn't get to see his first birthday and all the cool birthday favors we had for him...he didn't get to see anything else after that day.

Saturday will be wonderful and uplifting. It will also be bittersweet. I feel bad about that for these little guys.

We'll love them, and squeeze them and look for butterflies.
