Introducing...

Sintayehu and Bizayheu!

Yes, we passed court!
They are legally our sons!
I can share pictures on my blog,
I can email pictures,
I can finally write their names,
they. are. mine.

Oh wait.
But I'm not going to share their picture.
Not yet...
because I'm stingy.

I have been so anxious to write this post. I have dreamed of the day I could introduce all of you lovely blog readers to my two new sons. I've looked through all the pictures of them that I've received and wondered if that would be the first one I shared with you.

But I can't. I just can't do it. I'm sorry to say that I think you're going to have to wait until I have a picture of all 6 of us together. As a family. I know this seems unfair.

It's just that I want to keep them for myself right now.

I hope all you mothers out there can understand. As a pregnant mother, you get to keep your baby to yourself for 9 whole months. Only you know when they are awake and asleep, only you know their favorite time of day, or the position they most enjoy. You know what foods sit well on their tummy (yes, even in utero), and what foods they detest.

Then their birthday comes, and you're so excited to share him or her with the world, yet, you want to keep them for yourself. You want to be the one to hold them and look at them and stare into their eyes.

Or, at least this is how I always was.

Well, here I am, a mom again, this time to two! And today is that day, the day I can finally share my beautiful boys with you all, yet, I want to be the one who holds them, loves them, and stares into their deep brown eyes...first.

So, after I've gotten my hands on them,
I'll share them with you,
but for now,
I'm keeping them all to myself.

* Yes, I know this post makes me sound terrible. But hey, I just "had" twins! I can do whatever I want to do right?! hee hee. Yes, I also know that they aren't really mine, but partially their first mother's, and all God's. But boy, am I sure glad they chose to share them with me...

** So, I may change my mind in a day or two...maybe I won't make it until we get them home without sharing them...because I'm SO PROUD OF THEM ALREADY, so don't hold me to this...it may depend on what kind of pressure you guys put on me to share.
