Who They Are Now

Brinkley Jada. She’s passionate and feisty. Not surprising. I’m sure I willed her to be like me. I dreamed of her a million times, she wasn’t exactly what I expected, but everything I wanted. You’ll probably notice her hair first and then she’ll melt your heart and possibly pierce your eardrums. I told you she’s passionate. She looks like her daddy, I thought she’d look like me, but now I can’t imagine her any other way. She made me a mommy and for 8 minutes of her life I only had eyes for her.

Braxton Reese. A turtle. Sweet and slow, but worth waiting for. He looks just like me. I love it. It’s hard to imagine him six feet tall someday; for now he’s just my little, precious turtle. So tender and easy-going. He smiles and talks in his own way and I love our conversations. He’s all about exerting as little energy as possible. He’s teaching me to calm down and enjoy the journey. He may not have made me a mommy, but he sure is making me love motherhood.

How beautiful - the photos, the words, and especially the babies! What a wonderful journey you have embarked on - so glad you are now a mommy!

I love the descriptions...I can't wait to meet them. We used to call Spencer a turtle too. It is something about the way they move their tongue in and out so slowly. They are too cute!!

I love your description of their little personalities, especially since we can't be close to know them ourselves yet. Thanks for the the tiny window into your everyday life with twins! :)
