Ten years ago today my life (and my belly button) changed forever.
I still can’t believe it was a decade ago that I was waiting in the operating room of a small rural Italian town, surrounded by 20 doctors, nurses (and what seemed just innocent bystanders) getting ready to meet “La Principessa” and “La Contessa” for the first time.
And I still remember the awe I felt when they showed me those miniscule little babes for the first time. Awe at how tiny they were. Awe at how they looked and how completely different they were from one another (we hadn’t know whether they were identical or fraternal beforehand). Awe at how much my life had changed from one second to another.
The last 10 years have gone by in a flash and have been so full of love, adventure and so many amazing times together as a family. I’m so excited and curious to see what life brings Eva and Chloe in the future. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be pretty amazing though.…
