...or do you secretly almost feel a little sorry for people who only have one baby at a time??? Don't get me wrong...I am completely terrified. But when I think about the bond my girls will have and the blessings taht will come along with the sleepless nights and crazy days...I just...SWOON.
Aw!! :wub: I cannot imagine what my life would be like with just one of my girls ~ Twins are AWESOME!!!!! :yahoo:
I agree with you 100%!!! I love having twins and while it's challenging, I could not imagine my life any other way. Every day I think about how great is having twins! I love it!
I could not imagine life any other way. When I see my two snuggle, hug and kiss each other. My heart just melts :wub:
I often feel quite special--but lately I realize that feeling is blessed. I never even knew how much I wanted this until it has happened. I will be delighted (and freaked and overwhelmed etc) when they arrive.
I do feel a little sorry for people who only have one baby at at time. And, some days, I feel a little sorry for me having two at a time. But I wouldn't change a thing - the pros WAY outweigh the cons.
I just think that is pretty neat that not everyone gets to experience this! Its quite a blessing! I can't wait to meet them!.....its a long ways away, but it will be here sooner than I know it!
I'll fess up and admit that I'm a bit jealous of moms who dont have twins. Don't get me wrong, I feel blessed to be having my boys and I do feel like we are getting to experience something special. However, I worry about how I will manage one on one time wtih my boys and I'm a bit sad that I won't have another pregancy/baby since 4 kids is our limit.
I have a single right now and I love him for everything he is and his individuality. My worry is that people will tend to classify my other two sons as a set and not regard them as individuals. I feel honored by the challenge of raising 2 at once but if this pregnancy had been a singleton again, I don't think it would have been less special for me at least.
:wub: I've always felt like that and the older they get the more in love I am with having them. :wub: :hug:

Although having twins is very special, I felt like the biggest gift in the world had been given to me when we had our 1st daughter. After years of trying, I was just so thankful to be able to have a baby. I hope nobody felt sorry for me. Don't get me wrong, I love being in that special "twins club" and they definately are special, I don't think they are necessarily any more special than a singleton. There are benefits to having both twins and singletons...I wouldn't necessarily feel "sorry" for those parents without multiples though b/c I was one at one point. They have been blessed as well, just with one at a time. Who knows, if the twins had been my first, I may have felt differently. I'm just so happy all of us have been able to experience the joy of being parents (or soon to be parents).
I am so used to saying "the babies" and "they" all the time when I hear other moms say "it" or "he" it sounds weird to me. I'm so excited to be having two. I was hoping for two from when I started fertility treatments.

I feel like my heart could explode right out of my chest sometimes when I cuddle with him. It is unbelievable and I wouldn't change it for the world. But now with twins, it's a whole different kind of special, you know? Like, I'm so used to thinking in terms of two and they and the girlS, that I've gone from being in utter shock and disbelief and terror to being in love with these two girls too! Does that make sense??? Of course my son will ALWAYS be my little boy...and he will always hold a special place in my heart...mama's boy, right? Didn't want anyone to think that singletons are "lesser"...just that I have found so many of my girlfriends having babies and I am extra excited (finally) that I'm having twins.

I gotta be the minority. I actually am envious of the singletons. We are afraid we won't be able to care for their individual needs as well. Not to forget I'm postively petrified at the thought of dealing with two kids with the same needs at once. This is going to be my first and last real pregnancy. As rough as it's been I don't want to go through it again. I sure hope an pray that everything goes well. I don't know if I should write it off as twins, my first pregnancy, age, weight, or all the above. Hopefully we'll come out of this good and I'll forget about the bad parts. I sure hope God knew what he was doing. We sure as heck don't know what we are doing!
