Q

the first day I meet both of you, perfect little beings that fill and expand my heart beyond what I could have imagined.

Life is now a timed cycle of feed, burp, diapers, sleep, pump; a well-worn story of modern parenthood amidst sore boobs and milk stains.

But oh your little faces, expressions, and sighs. Your tiny fingers flexing and the softest downy backs. They make it worth everything, nothing is too hard or too much. I go to sleep dreaming about you.

It’s also incredible that despite both of you being of identical DNA, you are wholly distinct personalities to me. I love different things and have different memories i love of you (all of 4 days old!)

Luki with the deep contemplation and serious eyes that blink and look with such clarity. Henio with the most adorable milk drunk little face, flushed and content.

My two little angels. We love you so much.
