and we thought they weren't identical
The girls are starting to merge into the same face. For the longest time we would answer the question, "are they identical?" with, "they are supposed to be." But it seems like everyday they look more and more alike. The main differences are the hair and the cheeks right now. Rachel has more hair, Anya has more cheek. I haven't really ever thought the girls looked like me until recently. The other day, I saw a picture of myself, last year this time, in London. I look so carefree in those pictures. And I got this sort of deja vu of the future. Like I was reminded of Anya, but not my current Anya, but of a future Anya when she will look like her mom. Which is me, which is weird.
It has been 4 months, but it is still hard to process that I have two daughters. Me. When do you fully emotionally understand this, I wonder?

you know, that really is a cool photo. The girls do look uncannily like each other.

I don't think you ever get over the rush of emotion you feel when thinking about your kids. It is surreal and totally normal in the same instance. People have kids all the time yet for each individual it is a mammoth emotional journey. That's what makes us special.

Never, well atleast that is how I feel. Someday I stop and go..."I have two kids...one is ten years old!" It blows my mind all the time.
Such cuties!
