As we prepared ourselves for our first baby by reading books and buying baby toys and furniture, life didn't change much. Even though I stayed home most of the time because of the pregnancy I could continue working on my stories and articles at home. Sonaj just kept going to work and made promotion after promotion.
Then finally, the baby was there. It was a girl! We named her Emily.
After giving birth to Emily I stayed home a few more days to take care of her, Sonaj started working at night so things got pretty chaotic. Yet, we were a good team and we managed to take care of Emily together.
We were very proud parents.
Then Emily grew older.
She started to creep around, throw her toys everywhere and asking even more attention.
In the weekends we would cross the beach to go hang out on the beach. Emily loved to play in the sand and we liked the fresh air and the relaxing sound of waves. We enjoyed the time we got to spend together.
And that's when I became pregnant again. We were ready for a second little baby.
We had to make our house a bit bigger though, it became a bit small with a toddler that crept everywhere and a second baby coming. We made our living room bigger so we had more space for a relaxing place, we made our kitchen bigger so it became easier to cook and we made a separate bedroom for Emily (and soon our new baby).
I was glad I could stay home to take care of Emily but I kept working on my books. Meanwhile I already wrote a few books that got us money every week and I had some nice articles published in the local newspaper.
Sonaj made promotion again and started to work during daytime again so that made things easier again.
And then she was there, our second daughter. We named her Jasmine.
Meanwhile Emily learned how to walk and talk. It made things easier for us.
We're not sure if we'll try to go for a third baby but for now things are just fine. We're enjoying life, our children, work and most of all each other.
And we finally bought a barbecue! I know Sonaj loves grilling and it'll make us spend more time outside.
