last night adonis came home from his grandparent’s house with a shirt that said “it was my brother’s fault” and i lost all composure.  almost 2 years ago to the day, i found out i was pregnant with identical twin boys.

i was different then. i was a 24-year-old-newlywed-newly-pregnant-just-moved-into-a-new-home-woman. 

i am different now.  i am a 26-year-old-wife-and-mother-of-one- who still hasnt gotten around to decorating the house.

but still, i remember.   Mateo, i love you.
