Today marks the Terrific Trio’s second birthday. Since we have a chicken pox attack wafting its way through the house, the celebrations will be delayed a few days or maybe even weeks. Tonight I walked into their bedroom and thought back two years… it was Sunday night and they were almost twelve hours away from being born. The situation with Tess seemed to be status quo, and we thought that just maybe we could squeek another week or two out of the pregnancy. But over the course of the next twelve hours the preterm labour picked up it’s pace, and by about 4 to 5 AM the writing was on the wall: the triplets were going to be born. Two years later they have done amazingly well, praise be to God, the incredible healthcare we received from the Queen Mary Hospital NICU and the support from our friends and family. A special mention goes to Lita, Mila and De, who day in and day out for twenty-one months have provided the Terrific Trio with extraordinary, reliable, consistent care.

SELA, 2.1 lbs (l) at birth; February 2006 (r) doing Wiggles moves.
CARYS, 1.65 lbs (l) at birth; February 2006 (r) doing Wiggles moves.
You’ve come a long way babies.
We’re proud of you and love you!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY TO THE TERRIFIC TRIO!!!!!!!
Happy happy birthday darling babies, it seems like yesterday when I used to refresh your page every few hours. You were on my mind and in my thoughts every moment of every day. It was then when I got to know your mommy and daddy, and realized what wonderful people they are.
You are very special miracle babies and very loved, but lots of people, all over the world.
Lots and lots of love from all of us here in South Africa, we can’t wait to meet you in person one day
Big kiss

Happy birthday to you – Happy birthday to you – Happy birthday to you –
Sing along three times.
Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to Jasper, Sela and Carys! What a joy to see their “that was then, this is now!” pictures. Each one is such a blessing, and a resounding answer to all those prayers in their earliest days.
Congratulations Tess, Charles and Sebastian on this big milestone that your family has reached together.
Smiling along with you!

Wow!?!? Has it been two years since I found out about you guys??
I remember crying, praying and then crying and praying some more and then rejoicing and then crying and praying some more. Someone had a fungus, something was wrong with someone’s eyes. Someone gained 2 ounces, Praise God! What a roller coaster it was, eh??
The “small stuff” was so thrilling. I lost sleep over you all and have never even met you. This is the impact you have made on people around the globe!
I cannot fathom what it was like for all of you. I have never even met you and I was stressed and worried and trusting God for a miracle.
I love checking your blogs every few days and seeing those gorgeous children of your’s. I know you cherish them.
Happy Birthday to you stunning Two Year olds!!!
Happy Birthday little ones that have grown so big!
lots of love Claudine, Richard, Alex, Ben and Daniel
Wow. 2 years. Happy Birthday Sela, Carys & Jasper!!!
You’ve already done & experienced so much, which is good so you’re ready for all that still awaits you!
Wow, two years already! Happy birthday, little ones, it truly is an amazing thing to watch you grow.
Add my wishes to all those above. You all have a lot to be proud of, and thankful for, in those precious babes! May God continue to bless you all. (NB: Big hugs to the proud Grandmom, too, please!)
Blessings,
Erin

Happy 2nd Birthday to 3 very special, amazing little people 🙂 All the way from Australia!
Wow. We just celebrated our twins third birthday. It is great to look back and know how lucky you were.
Happy Birthday babies.
If ever I wonder whether miracles really happen, I love the fact that I can look at your blog and see that they do. Happy Birthday to three lovely little ones.
An amazing adventure set forth 2 years ago, and so it continues. Good birth-day to you Tess, must have been a time of phenomenon. You did a great job with Jasper, Sela and Carys. Seb must be a very proud brother, and you and Charles, very proud parents.
Warm wishes from Fiji, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Hello to your Mamasita, Mozilla!
