EPS 130: - Twice the Love: A Mother’s Reflection on My Twins’ Second Birthday

Two years ago, my life changed in a way I could never have planned or predicted. On April 18th, 2024, I met my twins—Arabella and Elijah—for the very first time. What began as an ordinary morning became one of the most sacred moments of my life. In this special birthday episode, I share their birth story, the emotions of that day, and the journey of becoming a mother to two miracles at once. This is a story of answered prayer. A story of timing, grace, and love that arrived in pairs. And a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me, prayed for me, and never made me feel “too old” to step into motherhood. Your kindness carried me in ways you may never fully know. To every listener still waiting on their own miracle—may this story remind you that love can arrive beautifully, unexpectedly, and right on time. Happy 2nd birthday, Arabella & Elijah. 🤍 — Heart-to-Heart with Abagaba Let’s connect: https://www.abigailedominguez.com/about
