I am always amazed that I made these children.
I am always amazed that I made these children. Grew their organs and hands and small noses. And every night before they sleep, Anya asks to hear about the day she was born. And Anya asks me to tell her about how I had one egg that wanted to be two. I am glad she loves this story. It always reminds me of the initial fears about having twins. And I realize how crazy and young those fears were. The best moment of my entire life was when that egg decided it wanted to be two. And I tell Anya that. And she giggles with delight. And Rachel says, "You got two girls. Twins. Mama, you have two girls," as if she needs to explain it to all of us. I nod and tell them the story again.
