I know it's hard to believe, but these two are, in fact, 1 week apart. They were exactly 3 lbs different at birth. They are vastly different in size. They are darling together. Kate and I were pregnant the entire time together and it was fabulous to commiserate with one another. We thought we were so clever having babies at the same time.
As it turns out... we would have been smarter to stagger them by about a month because this first 6 weeks we have both been lost in the void of motherhood... about 3 miles away. We would have been much greater help had we been about a month apart. Instead we have resorted to calling and missing each other repeatedly and seeing each other a grand total of 3 times.
Still, I have high hopes for this summer. The dust will settle eventually and then we will be able to hang out in the backyard together with our kids and our newborns and not feel left out when all the rest of our friends are at Wild Waters.
There is something absolutely
beautiful about newborns hanging with each other. We have to assume that they were very recently hanging in the same place and now, here they are, embarking on the same journey.
