Things I've Learned Since Having Twins
- To eat as quickly as I can (sometimes without chewing) before they wake up
- To eat without dropping food on the baby's/babies' heads because I'm wearing them in a sling or eating while they're eating on my breastfeeding pillow (quite a sight!)
- To not use the restroom for at least 8 hour stretches (who has the time for that anyway?)
- To shower at lightning speed (Wait - do I hear the babies crying over the sound of the shower? Should I pretend I don't hear that?)
- To change a diaper quickly enough to avoid being pummeled by urine or feces
- To keep wearing the same shirt even if it has some milk and/or urine on it (when did a little urine hurt anybody?)
- To open a door with one hand and pull a double stroller through it with the other hand
- To carry two babies at once
- To breastfeed two babies at the same time
- To clean poop off of walls, clothing, carpet and furniture
- To clean urine and milk off of the couch (watch where you sit at our house!)
- To love my babies to the moon and back
A resounding YES is coming from Chapel Hill...we are laughing and nodding and agreeing with every one of those. I especially second the eating fast and eating over their heads. I found a raisin in one of their sleepers the other night; I was snacking on the raisins and lost one - hey, there it was later at a diaper change! BTW, my new grocery store strategy: push the cart, pull the double stroller by the car seat handle. Easier to steer both. (And drive up for the groceries.)
