Fredrik Eklund isn’t taking a second of fatherhood for granted.

The Million Dollar Listing New York star welcomed his first children, Fredrik Jr. and Milla, to the world via surrogate on Tuesday — and since then, the overjoyed dad hasn’t been able to help sharing a few sweet photos of his twins with husband Derek Kaplan to social media.

“We’re so in love with them. There really are no words,” Eklund, 40, wrote alongside a Saturday snap of the beautiful family of four. “I still cry often … just looking at them, feeding them, kissing them. They’re so perfect, they really are everything. I still can’t believe it.”

He added in the caption, “Today Milla and Freddy are four days old. My promise to them is to always love them and make them proud. #grateful

The day after the twins’ birth, Eklund shared their first photo to social media. The sweet image featured the star and his husband sharing a smooch and cradling their newborns.

Two days later, the Sweden-born real-estate guru posted a snap of himself enjoying some skin-to-skin time while snuggling with the babies under a blanket.

“Daddyhood,” Eklund captioned the moment.

Eklund’s over-the-moon emotions surrounding his children’s birth are par for the course for the proud papa, who endured quite a journey with Kaplan on their road to joint fatherhood (Kaplan is also dad to son Kai, 7½).

“It felt like every time I went onto Facebook or Instagram, all that I could see were these smiling babies on my feed,” Eklund told PEOPLE in August following the couple’s happy pregnancy news.

“I was reminded constantly that there was this gap between me and where I wanted to be,” added the star, whose surrogate suffered multiple miscarriages previously.
