Now that I’m pregnant again, I find myself vividly remembering those early days with my first—like it was just yesterday. I can still feel what it was like to be home with my tiny little human, how small he was, how much he needed me, and how perfectly content I felt spending every moment by his side. The thought of leaving him to return to work felt impossible. And now, I can’t help but wonder what it will feel like this time around… but with twins! Will I feel the same way, soaking up every second? Or will I be ready to run back to work before I know it? 😅
