18 month old + twins!
12/5/2008 at 1:27 pm
I have an 18 month old and am due in two weeks with twins... a boy and a girl. All I hear from people is "You are going to be so busy!" I'm totally with you on wanting to stab each and every one of them with a fork. Forget the toddler fork... I want to use a heavy duty 3 inch prong fork! It's like "Duh! Really?? Never thought about being busy". People have also seriously asked me if we "planned" on having twins, like I'm crazy for wanting to do that when I already have a toddler at home. Good grief! Weren't even planning on getting pregnant, and somebody please explain to me how I could have planned twins?? Oh, well. After several months of crying I am now excited about their upcoming arrival. I know that it will feel like I will never get to sleep again, but I count my blessings for the fact that I will have 3 kids when I was once told I might never have children. I have several friends who have not been able to have kids of their own, and also two who have lost babies and were due at the same time as me (One died in utero, the other a week after birth). I know that those two friends in particular would do anything to be in my situation, so I think that keeping them in mind, particularly when I am frustrated, will keep me going!
