Life with Twins

Being a twin mom is like being in a club. Everyone who has had twins or is a twin wants to come up and talk to me. It's pretty cool actually. People all say the same thing - you just have to make it through the first year/infancy. I can see why.

Things that are hard for me:
1) Getting up all night with two babies (100 times harder than with one because you get no sleep)
2) Feeding two babies plus Jack and myself all day long - I know it will get better when all three boys can eat the same thing at the same time
3) Giving three kids seperate baths - it takes a long time to get everyone ready in the morning.

Things that are surprisingly easy:
1) Diapers - I am just in diaper changing mode and the extra baby doesn't seem to add that much
2) Leaving the house - it's not easy, but nothing like I thought it would be. We have been able to do things for a couple of hours at a time
3) Delivery - even though seven minutes apart sounds like a c-section, I did actually delivered them. I felt like superwoman afterwards, but really it wasn't all that different than Jack.

Then we have, the reward:



Getting a good picture of all three boys is not easy ... someone always starts crying, spitting up, or running away

What a blessing to have all three and it could not have happened to a sweeter couple! Thanks so much for the beautiful card. It is on the frig for all my friends to see! Miss ya:)
