Entry #16
~ Glimpses of Motherhood of Twins

Birth - push, push, push, a joyous wail, more pushes, another voice joins in.

10 minutes old - Here's your babies. Our first snuggle, warm, dry, and reunited. Welcome to the world my little girls.

Four days old - Sleeping, crying, feeding. Breastmilk everywhere! Welcome home! A new big sister is ready to help and love these two bundles we bring to keep.

Two weeks old - Who sleeps? Not Mommy AKA the feeding machine. Babies - beautiful babies, snuggle together each time they sleep.

Ten weeks old - Colic? Who has colic? Rocking, swaying, two babies in my arms. When does Daddy get home????? Hi Honey! Mind if I take a break? I'll be in the bath. Mysteriously, a two year old joins in. We play together, splash, and cuddle. Time to return to the babies!

6 months old - Wow! You've grown so much! Baby food jars everywhere! What appetites! You eat and sleep so much better now! Big sister and I are glad to have made it so far!

One year old - A celebration of life, love, and a world that's forever changed. Happy birthday my babies! We made it!

Walking a little bit and talking a little bit. Baby gate time!

Eighteen Months - The house is filled with running, laughter and new words are made each day! Big sister and I are busy watching and playing. We all sleep well at the end of the day!

Two years - Another celebration - two little girls, not babies, with strollers and new babies of their own. Dancing at storytime, hugs and "I lub ou!" Chasing, learning, and lots of playtime with my three lovely girls.

Three years - Twins days - We walk next to you as you drive in the parade. You throw candy to the kids all by yourselves. Big sister leads the way, but you can do it yourself - almost.

We swim now and spend days at the pool together in the warm sunshine. You can ride bikes with training wheels and play baseball. Two individuals with different likes, great appetites, and boundless energy. Two close friends, sisters. Holding hands and hugging. Loving to play together.
