The babies are just shy of 6 months old. How has it been 6 months!? The time is flying by, while simultaneously dragging. The babies are growing so fast, now taking solids, and just exploding with new skills every single day.
The good – Twins. I mean, come on! There are two new little people to love and cherish in my life! H has become so attached to them, just loving on them all the time. The smiles are amazing, the sounds and giggles they produce, the snuggles…oh, the snuggles! As a family we are working on a routine, spending time together, and loving each other.
The bad – I don’t get the one on one time with H anymore. There is always a baby on my hip, and half the time one of them is crying. They don’t nap at the same time very often, so I rarely get a break. Childcare costs are ridiculous, so I can’t go back to work right now because the cost of daycare would be higher than my mortgage. Trying to entertain 2 babies, in various stages of tired, can be very trying. Throw in the one weekend every few weeks when B has to work, and I’m on my own with the twins and a pre-schooler. Poor H barely gets any time with me on that weekend! Mom guilt is a very real, very hard thing.
The diapers – We go through about 80 diapers a week. ‘Nuff said.
Happy running y’all!
