The arrival of the second baby brings a mix of moments.

Quiet ones–

Sitting in a chair with a teeny little one nestled up against your neck.

(It’s been a while since you’ve smelled that newborn smell, and when your nose remembers your heart swells in size)

Chaotic ones–

The routine now calls for four arms, and eyes in the back of your head

(It’s a whole new game to cut up grapes and comfort a crying baby at the same time.)

Lots of Diapers, lots of wash, and a lot less sleep.

But most of all joyful ones–

So in love with both of them.

(More than you could have even imagined).
