because I am acutally very sad I will have no more babies. WHHHHAAAATTT??? Yes, you heard right, SAD ;-(.
I LOVE babies and I love my kids, but the challenges of dealing with the older ones can wear on me. If I had my way, I would keep them babies FOREVER.
Although, I am NOT sad that I will not ever be pregnant again. The things I have had to do and how I have felt, well, those are things I am glad are all behind me. THANKS to the wonderful OB care I received or I would have been a family of 2!
So as the twins turn 1 today, I reflect on all the blessings and lessons I have learned this past year. If you are reading this and are in the midst of twin hell...behold my friend, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I also wish those of my twin moms, who have had much great struggles than I, many prayers. I often think of many of you and the sacrifices you have made. But that is not to say that singleton moms have not made sacrifices either. As many of you have given up careers or have stayed in a career and tried to juggle being super mom and professional...no one can know the true sacrifices we have made. ITS HARD! I have always wanted to make my own way, but I have to admit, being a kept woman...sounds pretty enticing these days. And again not to say that stay at home moms have it easy...as I have told many of you...for me WORK is a BREAK that is often needed!
SO happy birthday to my 1 year miracles! You crazy girls have made me laugh, cry, worry, stress, but most of all you have made our lives richer and more fulfilling! You are baldies, boy toy lovers, picky eaters, slobber goudies (as my grandma would say), lovers, demanders, and just plain cutie pies! You switch personalities, you give us a run for our money and WE LOVE YOU!
