7 Month Old Twins!

To My Beautiful Child

13 Feb

{Nursery details here}

To my beautiful children,

You are SEVEN MONTHS OLD. How do I have 7-month-old twins?! I mean, I blinked, and then we’re here and you’re perfectly perfect and life is so good right now. The joy you have brought into our house is a joy I didn’t know existed. It was just yesterday that we found out we were pregnant with you…right?! Or that you were born? We are in the easy phase of babyhood because you’re not mobile yet and you’re on the most amazing schedule. As soon as you start crawling, all I can say is that I’m allowed to eat a dozen donuts each day because mama is going to burn a lot of calories chasing you two around. So it’s kind of a win/win! I love donuts.

There are so many precious moments that I want to remember with you two angels. I rocked you to sleep a couple weeks ago, Harris. I don’t normally do this because I think it’s important that you learn to fall asleep on your own, but you’re only small once. You’re only my chubby baby boy for such a short time. I held you and listened to you breathe and I closed my eyes and tried to memorize the moment because it went by much too fast for my mama heart.

There are so many things that I don’t want to forget. I write down as many as I can think of on my phone when I think of them so I don’t forget. Here are few:

  • Harris – Your face in the hot tub for the first time with your dad was pure sunshine. I loved seeing you sit on your daddy’s lap, so proud to be with him.
  • Goldie – I can already see a lot of patience in your sweet little personality. You’re feisty, but you always let your brother eat first. You don’t cry when you wake up in the morning or from your nap. You lay there and talk to yourself happily, and wait for mama to come get you. You kick your legs so hard and fast and give me the biggest, most joyous smile when you see me walk in. Oh, how you adore me. The feeling is mutual, my girl.
  • Harris – I love your low laugh. You have been laughing a lot more lately and your smile is so sweet and so precious and lights up the room.
  • Goldie – You will randomly start laughing when I least expect it! You and I laugh so hard back and forth with each other. Your belly laugh is one of my favorite sounds in the whole world.
  • Harris – I was downstairs getting your bottles ready for your last feeding of the day, and I could hear you squealing with delight as your dad bathed you and Goldie. It makes me so happy that you love your dad with all of your heart. You don’t smile as big at or look at anyone with more adoration than him. You snuggle in to his chest and lay your head on his shoulder almost every time he holds you.
  • Goldie – You can touch Harris, but sometimes lately, if Harris so much as touches your shoulder, you squeal and scream! You little rascal. It makes me laugh every time.
  • Harris – Your lay your arm and your hand over your eyes when we are feeding you your bottles. You’re the sweetest boy.

You’re my little buddies and I love going anywhere with both of you because you’re my sidekicks and I love to see you discover the world. I love looking into your eyes when we are at the grocery store and watch you discover all of the colors and shapes around you. Goldie, you love to look at me and smile and talk. Harris, you get kind of quiet and very observant. Your little souls are SO PRECIOUS TO ME!!!

You’re everything I dreamed of and much, much more.

I love you, babies!

I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I was deciding if I could handle doing another frozen embryo transfer…and now LOOK at him 🥹 It was one of the hardest years of my entire life. Going through things I don’t wish on anyone. But look at us now 😭 And looking internally…the things I’ve learned.

Tell me about something a year ago for you that you didn’t know you’d get through and can’t believe you are where you’re at 🤍👇🏻 #infertilityjourney #ivfsuccess #frozenembryotransfer
This is it. Not just in motherhood, although moth This is it.

Not just in motherhood, although motherhood really amplifies it, but in life.

It’s the fast days that are loud and sunny.

It’s the slow days that are quiet and snowy.

The mismatched pajamas and the dressed to the nines.

It’s the mess.

It’s the organization and order.

It’s the to-do list that gets crossed off and the to-do list that doesn’t.

It’s in the allowing of both.

It’s in perhaps preferring one over the other, but not judging either.

It’s in the wisdom that both will pass and each have lessons to teach.

Neither is wrong.

Both are allowed.

This is it.

It might feel impossible in the middle of it and y It might feel impossible in the middle of it and you might question everything.

“I have no idea what the future will bring.”

“Will everything I’m putting myself through be worth it?”

“What am I doing?”

“Am I making the right choice?”

But your moments will come. Trust that and let it bring you peace.

The alternative is feeling anxious, which is also completely acceptable and normal, but remember that you also have the option of trusting and feeling peace, too. There is room for both.

You’re not alone in this 🤍

It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the deep, black ocean of IVF again. I knew what I was doing this time and I was filled with fear because…I knew.

When I found out I was pregnant, the fear was my secret. Only a close few knew.

And this space was filled with tears, uncertainty…soul reaching prayers.

Sleepless nights, gut wrenching heartache.

Secrets that I hold close to my heart.

And then he came.

And the healing began.

And the mama, this mama, knew she did it.

That black ocean had swallowed her whole and she’d do it again for the light that is him.

Once she swam to the surface, and jaggedly gasped in the fresh air and felt the sunshine on her face, she knew she would do it all over again.

For this sacred chaos.

Tonight as I was moving the bassinet out of my room, I stopped. The room will soon be cleared. The shelves emptied and the order restored. And I can’t believe that the ocean was conquered. The chaos was where I found the strength and the beauty.

The sacred, precious chaos.
