would you believe that this beauty was pregnant with twins?!
well, its true....at least it was...
we got the call at 5:00 a.m. on sunday, april 1 - erika's water had broken and it was no joke!
i passed through that door to find two of the sweetest little babes i have ever laid eyes on.
and it all came flooding back to me... how that hospital room came to feel like home. how i felt like the world should stop because my baby was born. how miraculous it all seemed. i suppose newborn babies and hospital rooms will never be the same now that i have been through it. so i marveled just a bit more...
what a proud papa. watching serf hold both the babies was so tender. he equally alternated his gaze between each baby so as to make sure they knew they were equally loved.
and this mama. i love the way she mothers. she is what you call "a natural". and i am so in awe and am so proud of her... it's hard to believe that we used to be eighth graders who stuffed pillows in our shirts, pretending we were pregnant. we poured over baby name books and talked about babies and motherhood incessantly. it drove poor trevor mad. and now its real. wow.
friends, please meet willow jane...
and her brother, solomon paul...
sigh...it was so heavenly to meet these two little ones so fresh and new. i can remember meeting their big brother, ever, for the first time and melting at the sight of his little furrowed brow and his skinny little legs, and i know i will never forget this day and willow and solomon's tiny little everythings. i already love them so.
happy, happy newbornhood erika and serf and ever! we share every little, baby bit of your joy...
