| SO YOU ARE HAVING TWINS |
As a new mom of twins I sure wish there were words of wisdom for me as I embarked on this "journey".
I had a vision in my head of what I thought it would be like..
Babies that slept, ate and a daily routine that kept everyone sane !
Well was I in for a surprise...
Hopefully these few tid bits of information will ensure that yes you can do .. and no it's not as easy as mom's with babes a year or 9 months apart !!

Other bits of advice... Often moms that had babes 1 year apart would say " I know how you feel" actually sorry to say they do NOT ! Having 2 human beings the EXACT same age is not the same.. Think of 2 puppies.. most would say you are crazy to get 2 puppies.. (Yes I know that children are not puppies but you get the general idea) Me Time.. it is ok to have a shower get dressed and leave for a few hours to get your nails, hair or whatever your poison is .. A Happy Mom is GOOD MOM ! Sleeping.. (insert laughter) don't worry you will eventually sleep ! Making your own baby food.. with all the recalls out there on baby food, I found making my own baby food didn't take as long as I thought and I felt much better about feeding my little ones food in which I knew the ingredients.
Let's discuss Me Time.. every new mom wants to be HANDS ON, but let's be realistic... Everyone needs a little help and a little time for themselves. The best thing you can do is to escape even for an hour. Making sure you are feeling happy and that the stress of caring for mulitples is not taking a toll on your mental well being.  New Mom  |
