    So I have a lot of thoughts that run through my head over the course of the day that only a mother of twins could relate to and I started to wonder if you all have the same. So I want to start some fill in the blanks sentences to see how you all would finish them.

    Before I had twins I took a shower every day but now I smell really bad and am covered with formula (both fresh and um, used).

    Before I had twins I actually had time to myself during the day, but now I get to spend my day watching two little amazing personalities just blossom! :wub:

    Before I had twins I would get 8 hrs of sleep a night, wake up refreshed and be able to put matching socks on but now I am sleep deprived, and am lucky to have a shower before the day ends.

    Before having twin I was able to go where I want, when I want, but now my day is planned around their schedule and whether or not a can use the stroller.

    Before I had twins, I had a nice, clean couch, but now I have a couch that has more milk on it than a dairy farm....

    Before I had twins, I had room to walk freely, but now Fisher Price, Playskool, Duplo, amongst many others, have thrown up all over my house.

    Before I had twins(kids), life was rather boring..., but now, my days are filled with so much laughter and smiles, and plenty of hugs and kisses-that I wouldn't trade it for the world!

    To say to my boys before bed, "How much do you love mommy?" And to hear them say, "Moon and back!" Trust me ladies-it makes EVERYTHING you are going through right now-worth it. It's such a short period of time-a time I WISH I could get back again and again.... Love those kids up! It's amazing what a difference makes in one year, in two years... They become little people! Funny, amusing, smart little people-all because of YOU! Enjoy!

    Before I had twins, I thought I was happy with the size of our family, but now I can't imagine my life without them! :wub:

    Before I had twins I drank one small cup of coffee a day but now I drink a whole pot.

    Before I had twins I often wasted time doing nothing of consequence but now almost every minute of my waking day is filled with purposeful activity.

    Before I had twins I couldn't imagine life with twins but now I can't imagine my life without twins.

    Before I had twins, I was able to type on the computer with two hands, now I only have one (if that).

    Before I had twins, I got to eat warm meals, now they're lukewarm or cold.

    Before I had twins, I was able to walk through a room without going 'ick', 'ick', 'ouch'.

    Before I had twins, I only needed to go to the grocery store once a week, now it seems like daily.

    Before I had twins, I only needed one set of clean clothes for myself a day.

    Before I had twins, I just did laundry on the weekend.

    Before I had twins, I had space in my refrigerator.

    Before I had twins, I had to use an alarm clock to get up in the morning, now I just use the baby monitor.

    Before I had twins... I didn't think I could handle twins.... now, I know I can!!!!!

    Before I had twins... I shaved my legs once every 3 or 4 days... now I'm lucky if it's once every two or three weeks ;)

    Oh and I really like the alarm clock one... that is SO true... I use both monitors as alarms now ;)

    Before I had twins I had a full time job and got up, got dressed and spoke professionally all day :) NOW I have 2 full time jobs, stay in my jammies a lot of the time and speak baby-talk!!

    Before I had twins, I had great hair and well waxed parts. Now, my hair is in a bun all the time and waxing anything is a joke!

    Before I had twins, I would linger over my meals, and eat when I felt like it. Now, I eat like a prisoner at their last meal, as fast as I can and anything I can eat with one hand is a plus.

    Before I had twins, I had to take a shower every day. Now I consider myself clean enough if I wash my face and remember to brush my teeth.

    Before I had twins, I thought I knew what responsibility was because I had two dogs. Now, I GET IT that I had no clue what I was thinking when I said that!

    Before I had twins, I was so sad we had so much trouble conceiving. Now, my heart is so full and my life so much richer for having my babies in it!

    Before I had twins I thought things were chaotic with 4 kids running around all the time, now chaos is an understatement.

    Before I had twins I never thought about having twins because NO ONE EVER had twins in my family, now everyone is all gaga over them and we can't imagine them not being here.

    Before I had twins I thought I could handle pretty much anything EXCEPT twins, now I think even the twins are a piece of cake.

    Before I had twins I thought our house was just the right size, now I realize how much STUFF the twins have I'm wondering if I'm right about the size of the place.

    Before I had twins, I spent 6 years feeling more and more that I would never be a mother (very sad) then I had my 3 year old and thought wouldn't have anymore, OOPS! TWINS!! Life is crazy but a good crazy.

    Before I had twins, I was so scared that I wouldn't be able to handle 3 under 3 all by myself, now I know I can do it.

    Before I had twins, I thought my first child was hard (you all know the feeling when you have your first and it is all new), now what the h*** was I thinking :laughing:

    I LOVE all these!!! Here's mine:

    Before I had twins I had a designated "Laundry Day", now EVERYDAY is "Laundry Day"

    Before I had twins I could catch a nap when dd napped, now all the planets have to align for all three to be sleeping at the same time (and even then I use the time to take a shower :))
