Meet the two boys in my life. Aidan Dominic and Joshua Xavier. Can you guess who is who? Do they look like brothers or not at all? Don’t ask me because of course, I’ll tell you they are! I’m the mom after all!

The very first time I saw Aidan, I was overjoyed! Nothing can replace the feeling of a mother in seeing her baby who grew in her tummy for 39 weeks and 6 days. And now, I have another bundle of joy to boast of! JX was inside of me for 40 weeks and 2 days. Boy, was it the longest pregnancy period I had! Not because he reached full term or past the 40 weeks of gestation but because we were already expecting him since 25th of October (37.5 weeks) when I had my prenatal check-up. I was told that I can give birth any time.

At that moment, everything went still. Everything changed. I was in an emotional turmoil. If I was about to give birth any time, where would Aidan be? Oh yes, I have thought about it several times but this is a different situation now because this is the actual scenario! I was also very excited as we would soon see JX. How could this be? Admittingly, I even cried because I was worried for Aidan, not because he would not be properly taken care of ( I know he will be!) but because this is the FIRST time we would not spend the night together. How would he feel? Would he feel abandoned? Can he sleep without me? I know, I should have prepared him somehow because this was an inevitable situation but I didn’t. Why? I just don’t know, kept on postponing and now, it’s there. No turning back this time. Excitement and wishing there was another way for me to spend the night with Aidan while giving birth to JX. Time to face reality.

And so, meet my two sons. AD and JX.
