My last maternity leave morning



Today is my last day of maternity leave and I'm so happy that it started out sunny.

Each morning, after my husband leaves for work, I have quiet time with the twins. My bedroom gets the morning sun and the the light that comes through when the sky is clear is really beautiful.

After I nurse the babies, we just hang out in the bed. This is the one feeding that they never seem to be fussy after.

Hunter loves looking around giving me tons of expressions with his eyes.

Penelope looks at the designs on our curtains, cooing and making these little excited pot belly pig sounds.

I get gummy smiles and hear their little voices -- "ah ah ah," they both say.

I take pictures with my phone and send them to my mom.

I tell H & P what our plans are for the day. They seem very interested.

I hold their little hands, watch their legs and feet wiggle.

I notice the changes in them that seem to happen each day.

It's been the most amazing 12 weeks of my life.

  1. Oh my gosh, don't think I'm crazy. lol I was just "surfing" around online googling "twin tattoos" and I stumbled upon your blog. I love it. Not only do I have twins, but your birth story brought me right back to my very own that happened four (feels like the other day) years ago this January. Love that you have tattoos, love that you're in nyc (I'm from LI) and love your sense of humor..just had to say it. Your twins are beautiful.

    I also just have to add (and I know I'm biased) that being a mommy to twins is the most amazing thing on this entire planet. I feel like my two big boys were the size of your munchkins just months ago. It gets cooler each and every day.

    Keep up the great work! :D
