Rights of passage

Today Jacen and Spencer are two months old adjusted!  Happy should have been birthday, boys!

I'm finally getting to work on a mommy right of passage I have wanted to do for a long time; birth announcements.   Yes, I know they will be nearly five months old before anyone receives them but I don't care.  We didn't get to celebrate their birth since we were so scared and worried.  Then I was very protective of who got to see pictures of them.  I'm well aware that to most people a 29w baby is far from cute.  As precious as their faces were to us it hurt to know others wouldn't feel the same.  I also definitely had a strong aversion (which continues) to anyone saying our boys are tiny, little, small etc.  I just wasn't able to celebrate their birth in the midst of all the unknowns. But now, four and a half months later, I think I am finally ready to tackle this normal right of passage.  I'm ready to celebrate their birth for the joyous event it has become, not for the rough start it was.
