Due Date

Today, April 29th, is the twins official due date. Instead of being in the hospital tonight with newborns, our little baby girls, born a bit early, are 19 days old today.

They are growing so fast. Everyday they change a bit more. Their hair is growing and little curls are coming in. Their cute little bellies, that only a week ago still had the remnants of umbilical cords, are now plump and round and perfect. But the best part, the coolest development of all, the part we wait for and coo over, are the moments when you'll catch a glimpse of a smile. They are not yet smiling at us, that will come later. But a caress of the head, or a kiss to the cheek and they smile all the same. And though they will, without a doubt, have a million smiles over the years, there is something so special about the first ones.
