I mean that in the nicest possible way. But I just don't understand the women I meet that say they would love to have twins. I'm sure 99% of them are not mothers yet and have no idea what it is like to have 2 babies, yet alone 1. I don't know how many people I've come across that see the babies, or saw me when I was pregnant with them, that say they always wanted twins. I laugh and say, "NO YOU DON'T!". I know I'm blessed, at least that's what EVERYONE tells me (can you tell how sick I am of hearing that?)... but geez... I can't wait until they're 12 months. I know it will be easier. All I do is feed a baby, burp a baby, change a baby, put a baby to sleep just as the other wakes up and needs the exact same thing.
I'm also definitely not looking forward to being alone in my house with them after we move this weekend. They are the cutest little things, but add them together with a defiant 3 year old, laundry, cooking, house cleaning, trying to move, laundry again, washing bottles OVER and OVER and OVER again, and trying to get a shower at least every other day (that's right, I don't shower everyday anymore)... that makes for a very stressed mom who wants a vacation.
That's the end of my rant... Have a great weekend!

You know I would NEVER say that. I have no desire to have twins whatsoever. But I am always in awe of women who do. You rock!
I agree...12 months is easier. I love a little independence. I never understand when moms dread their infants learning to walk and stuff. I know they cause more trouble, but still, they're easier.
Yes, I have to agree with Katie. I am one of those women who would never say that I want twins either. Maybe because I can only imagine what it would be like. It's hard enough having two that are two years apart. I feel for you Kelly.
12 months will change your life. Once they are mobile and can all play together and there are NO MORE BOTTLES to clean, life will be better. For now, it's a bit repetitive, but remember that right now will not last forever.
Hang in there.
You crack me up!!! I seriously LOVE you and all your honesty! I was one of those people that said I always wanted twins.... and yet I have not taken care of one yet. I will see if I still want 2 after I have this 1! Anyway you are amazing!
As for the comment you left me... I would be happy to have anything or take anything off your hands. If there is anything I can ever do for you please let me know!
Congrats as well on moving into your new home soon!
And a well deserved rant it is!!! When the girls were little, their pediatrician's nurse had 5 girls! TWO sets of twins and one single. ALL within less than two years of each other!!!! Does that make you feel any better at all????
Hey, go back on the past few comments of your posts. I put a blog for you to check out. This lady has fraternal twins the same age as yours.
Thought it might be fun to compare horror stories...as it were, at this point....It will get better Toots!
Hang in there.
Oh no Kelly, I'm one of those crazy women you speak of. I know it's probably 100 times harder than what I think, but like you said, when they are 12 months and older, they will be each other's playmates, it will hopefully be a huge change. I want four total, call me crazy AGAIN, so I'd like to have twins next, twins equals one pregnancy, and only one more time doing diapers and craziness, it's like a two for one deal. ;) I think you are one AMAZING woman!!! And I can only imagine what it's like to chase after Derek as well.
PS. Just shower for twice as long and it'll count for every day ;)
