When we found out we were expecting twins, a good friend (whose precious twin girls weren't even two months old yet) told me right away how great it was to have twins. I remember thinking, "She's only been doing this for a while and already she thinks it's great. Maybe this won't be so bad after all!"
And now, my little ones are just over two months. Sure, the first month (at least) was a complete and total blur. You couldn't pay me enough money to relive it. Seriously. And just once, I'd like to feed these babies and be able to really relax, without having to take the bottle out of N's mouth every five swallows so she doesn't gulp, watch her like a hawk to make sure she doesn't puke, and give her a 30 minute break in the middle to cut down on puking episodes.
But really, these little people are so, so sweet. They sleep pretty darn well at night. They sleep (for the most part) pretty darn well during the day. They smile, coo, and even laugh. They're fun to dress up in matching outfits. And surprisingly, going out and about with our whole family is pretty amusing as well. Twins make for quite the spectacle on their own, but who knew I would love watching people's faces as they count up my kids and realize that yes, they're all ours! It's pretty hilarious, that's for sure.
I'm reminded of a comment left by another friend and twin mom when I posted the birth story: "Isn't it wonderful to look at these two little ones and think about how they wanted to come together?"
Yep, pretty wonderful.

I love them. They're little squishy tennilles.
I am glad that you can look back and laugh at the first couple months. You seem to be doing well and look at those precious smiles, who could resist.
Those babies make those outfits look so cute! What sweethearts. (The pictures of the older kids are great as well. T is so big!)
Robyn could be a good source for you. She had number 7 on Thursday and her oldest is 6. After the other 6 came to see the baby they went to the van and they all put their own seatbelts on except the baby who is not yet one. The others have learned on their own out of necessity and now almost tend themselves. Her doctor said that number 12 she would deliver for free.
