New stay at home mom

Hi! I am new to this and thought I would just share a little about me and my new life as a tiwn mom and stay at home mom. First I do have a beautiful 6 year old daughter so I am not new to the mommy thing. Of course having one 6 year old does not get you ready for twins. My handsome boys :itwins_boys: were born October 1, 2008. I was due October 30, 2008. I went into LD to get checked because I didnt feel very well. When I got there and they finally came in to check me I was already at a 4. As the minutes progressed my baby B (Austin Curtis) heart rate kept dropping so we had to do a rush C section. I was not happy about this at all. My husband just barely made it to the hospital for them to walk me back to the OR. By far that was the scariest moment of my entire life. We were so unprepared for them to already be born. We didnt have the bed together none of the baby shower items umpacked. Nothing was done. So anyway, my boys were born at 3:06 and 3:08pm. Landon Michael was 5lb2oz 18" long and Austin Curtis was 4lb13oz and 18.5" long. They were perfect. Austin had some problems at first so I didnt get to see him until 2 days later. Landon got to come to the room right away. I was so sore. I hated the C section. HATED it. I worked for family before I had the boys so we were going to just have them come up to the office with me since that is what I did with my daughter. But as time went by and I saw how much more time it takes to take care of two at the same time we made the choice to just have me stay at home and help with my husbands business. It has been such a change. I have always had a job and you really cant just jump and go somewhere with two as easily as you could with one. So I am generally stuck at the house with no one to talk to but my boys who dont talk back and my dog. So I a little bored and in need of some communication. Well, a little about my life. I was married before to a man that gave me my daughter so I wouldnt change that for anything. We divorced when she was 2. I met my wonderful husband before I was divorced but we were only friends since I was married and he was engaged at the time. We met at work. He was doing some on the side jobs for us and he went to the same church as my aunt. We lost contact for a while and at some point we hooked back up. At that point I was no longer married and he was not engaged. We stayed friends for a while until his birthday in 2005 when we decided to start dating. That was in March we got engaged in November and were married the following April. We had decided to not have anymore kids. We were both very happy being parents to Skylar. He had taken on the role of dad and everything was going great. Then we found out we were pregnant. :yahoo: We were very happy about it. When I ws 12 weeks along is when I found out that we were having twins. I think we both stopped breathing for a while. I am not to sure that the shock has left us yet. So we are taking this one day at a time. Thanks for taking time to get to know me.

 

:welcome: to TS and to first year! I am also a stay at home mom, I worked up until I was 30 weeks pregnant and I've not gone back since. I really enjoy it most of the time but there are some difficult days too. There is no such thing as a day off on this job! Anyway, I am glad you found this site, it has helped me a lot to talk to other new moms of twins.

 

Welcome to TS!!! I too am a SAHM after working all my life. It is definately a big change. I have 3 who are just 2 and under so it does make it difficult to go out and especially not that WINTER has hit. Just wanted to say welcome and feel free to PM me anytime!

 

:welcome: to the First Year. I am a SAHM too with twins plus one . It's exhausting, challenging and rewarding all rolled up into one!

 

Welcome to the first year and Congrats on your twin boys! I am a SAHM too, I worked up to 36 weeks and have not gone back. Being home with the babies has been rewarding but also challenging!

 

Hello! and Welcome to our little community ^_^ You'll find that there are people to talk to on here [well, type to :lol:].

I am in the same boat as far as daily does of communication. I am 24 and have been working since I wa 16. Not a very long time, but still long enough to feel awkward being a SAHM. Either way I look at it, it's worth it to SAH with the girls at least until they're 2 and/or are able to talk. I've heard so many horror stories about day care's that I don't know if I'd be able to relax.

 

hi!! thanks for introducing yourself! im a sahm mom too and i do have very lonely days, but theyre getting a little older and its a WEEEE bit easier to get out for a little while, even if its to walmart/BRU to walk around hope to "see" you around!

 

Hi, another SAHM here. I have 3 kids under 4yrs. Older DD is 3.5 and twins are 5mths. Good luck with being at home. I worked until I went on bedrest with twins. So I am still adjusting also.
Just wanted to say HI.

 

Welcome and congrats! I loved your detailed post. (BTW, I too was done having kids before the twins! Mine are nearly 8 mos. and the realization that we have five children is finally settling in.)

I have been a SAHM for over 7 years. It is the hardest job I have ever had, but I wouldn't change it. I feel so blessed to be able to do it. Sometimes my dh comes home telling me hospital stories from his day at work and I get that longing to be a part of it again. Maybe someday!

 

Hey! Congrats and welcome! I had to laugh and say that having three singletons only prepared me **maybe minimally** for having twins. Holy cow, twins are a whole 'nother animal for us!

I come here for some communication too since I'm a SAHM with little contact with adults during the day, but sometimes I express my opinion and it's not welcome, haha. (I haven't looked at the thread, but apparently there are people who disagree with me about big dogs and babies.)

I'm glad you joined us!

 

Welcome and congrats! Another sahm here - my 2 half year old is in nursery all day though so that helps A LOT! Loving being a full time mum but am knackered most of the time! But it is the hardest job ever, with not pay, no medical, no holidays blah blah blah!!!

 

Hello and :welcome: to Twinstuff! I'm glad you found us . I'm also a SAHM. It's nice to get to know you.

 

Welcome to the FY and congrats on your twins
