Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Today has already been a busy and hectic day and its not even noon :o) but I love it!! Last night Ethan and I made Gingerbread cookies for Santa and decorated them, I also made a Peppermint Cheesecake which is by the way my very 1st cheesecake! It called for a 9in springform pan and all I had was a 10in so its smaller than it should be but looks really good. I also made cupcakes this morning with holiday funfetti. I cant wait to head over to Mike & Angela's house and start our Christmas Eve traditions. We always eat finger foods and appetizers on Christmas Eve then do a big breakfast on Christmas morning, well probably watch a movie tonight, maybe play a game, and let the kids open 1 present and of coarse play Santa!!! Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas with all their loved ones and Ill be sure to post about ours in the next couple of days :o)

Our Story......

Hi, my name is Krystal and around August of 2007 I decided I wanted to start blogging about my life and everyone or everything that's in it. I am happily married to my wife, Shauna, of 9 years now. She is my rock and without her I would not be the person that I am now. We have so many things in common and I knew from the moment I saw her that she was going to be in my life forever. In 2007, I conceived identical twin boys thru IUI,of coarse we only were trying for one baby but was so blessed to hear that we had two little babies growing in my belly. My pregnancy was a rather hard one, I was on bed rest from 21 weeks and on, I was on medicine to stop my contractions and preterm labor starting around week 20, and my twin boys developed twin to twin transfusion syndrome. At 27 weeks, we were told that twin a (Evan) had passed away and that twin b (Ethan) needed to be delivered asap. I was scared beyond belief but knew my guardian angel would look over us. I delivered both my boys on Wed, Dec. 19th via C-section. Evan was born at 1 lb 11 oz and 12 3/4 inches long, sleeping away. ♥ and his brother Ethan was born 2 minutes later at 1 lb 15 oz and was 13 1/2 inches long. Ethan underwent 61 long days in the NICU, having 2 blood transfusions, IV's, feedings by tube, and learning to suck, swallow, breathe, and eat all at the same time. He was a very strong boy and I owe it to his brother for making him so strong out of the womb. He came home at 4lbs 7oz still so tiny but so big considering. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God above for our miracle son and all the joy he brings us. He is our everything, our life, our soul. Ethan is now a healthy, growing and thriving little boy, as he should. We have 2 furry children, a English bulldog named Star and a tabby cat named Abby. We have the cutest family and life! Our family grew once more April 15th 2013. We welcomed our daughter McKenzie into the world at 8lbs 6oz. She is the exact opposite of Ethan but I love it. They have 2 totally different personalities. He is my timid and obedient one and she is my outgoing, test the limits kind of girl. I am beyond excited to start our journey as a family of 5 with our precious guardian angel watching over us and keeping us safe. I look forward to everything our wonderful children can bring us!! ♥
