    so... this morning I am standing there with my first cup of coffee and disheveled hair :blush: , doing my usual morning routine of trying to get everyone happy quickly. i stopped and actually took a second to take a slow look around my house to see my oldest DD doing gymnastics in the dining room yelling about a bowl of cereal and exactly what kind of juice she wanted, baby A screaming in her bouncy seat for HER breakfast, and baby B screaming her little head off because she rolled over on her stomach and she couldnt turn back over. I had a flashback of my relatively short life ( im 23) and the role i have now taken on as a mother of three, and its almost like it just started sinking in!! i just looked at them all like "Who the heck are you guys and where did you come from?" :huh:

    im pretty amazed in how well ive adapted to the growing good natured chaos that has moved into my house!! :D

    Wow, lindsay - all of that wisdom and you're only 23? Good for you!! Seriously - awareness and a sense of humor make all the difference. All three of your children are very lucky to have you for a mommy!

    I've had these moments before too and I'm 32 and only have 2 kids. Dh and I say all the time (in a conspiratory whisper) "I don't think they are leaving, ever! Where did they come from?!"

    Funny! I said to my husband the other night, "Where did all of these little people come from?"

    I am the same way. I have those same moment where how did I go from a laid back "party girl" to an overprotected mother of 3. I just turned 26 and feel like i just turned 40. :) It is amazing how you change so quickly to accomodate our lives!!

    Yeah we sure have to change with life as a mom, especially twins. I am sure it will only get more crazy as they get older.

    I have these moments too. It is truly hard to figure out how I got here sometimes, but I don't think I'd change it for anything :D !
