Love Lasts Forever

baby shower

I can't believe I'm 7 months pregnant with twins! I thought I was huge when I was carrying Demi, but now I feel like a whale. I'm so glad Charlie and I decided to find out the genders, though – it's been so fun decorating the nursery and picking out outfits for Taylor and Nicholas.

Speaking of Demi, she is so freaking adorable. She's growing up so fast and is already walking and talking a little. I can't wait to see her interact with her siblings – I know she's going to be the best big sister.

Charlie and I are so lucky to have Cecily as my best friend and Charlie's twin sister. She's been by my side through every step of this pregnancy, and I'm so excited that she's pregnant too! We decided to combine our baby showers, and I can't wait for all of our friends and family to celebrate with us.

"Hey Harper, how are you feeling today?" Cecily asks as she walks into my living room, where I'm sprawled out on the couch.

"Ugh, Cecily I'm so huge and uncomfortable," I complain. "But I'm excited for the baby shower this weekend. Are you ready?"

"I think so," Cecily says with a laugh. "I'm just glad we're doing it together. It's going to be so much fun."

"Definitely," I agree. "It's going to be so cute to see all of the little outfits and toys for Taylor and Nicholas. And I can't wait to see Demi's reaction to her new siblings."

"I know, she's going to be the best big sister," Cecily says with a smile.

*baby shower*

The day of the baby shower finally arrives, and my house is filled with all of our friends and family. There are pink and blue decorations everywhere, and the smell of cake and punch fills the air.

"Harper, this looks amazing," Cecily says as she takes in the party.

"Thanks, I'm so glad you like it," I say with a smile.

"Hey Harper, can I see you for a minute?" Charlie asks, pulling me aside.

"Sure, what's up?" I ask.

"I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you," Charlie says, looking at me with love in his eyes. "You're going to be an amazing mom to Taylor and Nicholas."

"Thanks, Charlie," I say, getting choked up. "I couldn't do this without you."

"I know," Charlie says with a smile. "I love you."

"I love you too," I say, kissing him on the cheek.

*later*

The baby shower is a huge success, and Taylor and Nicholas receive so many cute outfits and toys. Demi is having a blast playing with all of the other kids, and I can't wait to see her as a big sister.

I couldn't have asked for a better baby shower, and I'm so glad Cecily and I decided to do it together. I know the next few months are going to be a whirlwind, but I'm ready for it. Taylor and Nicholas, here we come!
