OR… there WAS that…
a new baby… on the way…
soon!
offically 38 weeks, so yes, VERY soon!
ANNNND then I delivered two weeks early, of course, before i pressed publish
…
and so, here we are
a family of four
with two little girls
eeeep! sisters! (we didn’t find out the gender before birth)
and life feels SO full
full in the exhausting, time-flying-yet-sooo-slow, when and HOW do you grocery shop/ clean / cook / BLOG, unison crying, 7pm adult-bedtime type of FULL
BUT, also the heart-bursting, big-sister-kissing, bed-full of GIRLS in matching pjs, newborn snoozing of chest, absolute JOY type of FULL
and just about every five minutes of the last four weeks I’ve wondered HOW DID WE GET HERE?! and THANK GOODNESS we are HERE.
i won’t shadow this post with the nitty gritty, but this pregnancy was not an easy one for me (emotionally). the dark winter i last spoke about coupled with pregnancy hormones and scary realities we know too much about made me sad and anxious. sharing the news we were expecting felt too presumptuous and even family and close friends who might not have seen us once i’d started showing were shocked and confused by a “new baby!” announcement last month. there are these things i’ve learned i don’t need to apologize or make excuses for…
and so… now…
our littlest girl is here!
eve emerson
born quickly and HEALTHY on the 29th of May
emily is SO excited to have her own baby to “cuh-wool”… she is excited to tell just about anyone about “baby eve!” and rocks her seat, offers a binky from her own mouth and buries her in toys when she makes the slightest of peeps.
we are over the moon
sisters…
wow. i am so excited for these two to have each other, forever…
…
forever grateful that our dear friend and amazing photographer christine chitnis was able to capture the first moments when emily met her baby sister.
