WELCOME TO THE FAMILY.
NEW YEARS EVE
I remember so vividly. The clock was ticking. One rep closer to having the kids.
We looked at each other in the eyes and smiled.

We shouted and the closer to zero we got, the closer our faces got together. We didn't even scream 'Happy New Years!' We just kissed. Our lips moved in sync and we battled for dominance.i felt the fireworks shoot out of me. But it turns out they weren't just in my head. There were literal fireworks flying in the sky.
It was magical. It was perfect. I felt so blessed. So happy.
FEBRUARY 19th
Nat: Take deep breaths. Calm down. We're almost there.
Anna: DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! YOU'RE NOT TE ONE THAT HAS TO PUSH NOT ONE, BUT TWO FUCKING BABIES OUT OF YOUR VAGINA!!
The stress took over. I don't even know why I was that harsh to him. He was just trying to help me.
Today was the day I was giving birth.
1 HOUR EARLIER.
Nat and I we're so excited yet anxious. The babies were due in two days so we're gonna go to the hospital tomorrow evening just in case. I was so nervous. Was I ready to be a mother. This wasn't like adopting a dog or something. It's kids. You can't go back. I was sitting on the couch, on my laptop editing some YouTube videos. I started a channel a while ago but it wasn't that big. It was mostly filled with skits and challenges and my music. I was really passionate when it came to music. Whether it was composing or doing covers, I loved it. I would usually play the piano or my guitar and sing but sometimes, if it was requested, I would play my violin. I wasn't an expert at the violin but I knew how to play it and all that. A lot of people told me that I'm really good at singing but I needed to control my voice so I took their advice and started vocal lessons.
Anyway, I was editing when I decided that I was hungry so I drove to the supermarket to buy some things but. Well. My water broke. No one I knew was there with me so I called Nat and just at at he corner of the grocery store waiting for him to come.
He finally came and helped me get to the car. It was like one of those dramatic movies.
He tried calming me down but I was just so stressed.
We got to the hospital and. It happened. I gave birth to two magical, beautiful kids. A boy named Sean, and a girl named Cathrine. I wanted to name her Eliz but I had something planned. I'm Cristian but I'm Greek Orthodox Which means that you baptize your kids. I didn't want my kids to be Greek Orthodox but I did want to baptize them because I liked the idea of it. Basically when you get baptized, whoever baptized you becomes your godparent which means that if anything happens to your real parent, your godparent is legally your new parent. Also, the name of your godparent becomes your middle name. I wanted Eliz to be Cathrine's Godmother.
I really hope that Eliz doesn't get sad because I didn't name her Eliz. But I just wanted to honor my aunt and godmother, Cathrine because she went through a lot and always loved me. Sadly she died a year ago from lung cancer and I was heartbroken. I just hoped she would understand.
At least her name would be 'Cathrine Eliz Wolff'
I couldn't have been happier. My life was finally complete. I couldn't stop staring at them. They're beautiful.
