I'm honestly not sure how to begin this blog without rambling my entire life story as if I had just sat down in front of a therapy tell all session, "It all began with my Mother..". In reality, it all began when I became a mother. Before being a Mom I felt lost in the world, like I didn't quite belong. I was young when I had my first, a mere 17 years old. A baby having a baby.. but you know what I can truly tell you right now without a single doubt in my mind? Becoming a Mother saved me. You learn to grow up quickly and find out that the world isn't just about yourself anymore. There are things better in life than what I thought was important as a teen. The second I saw that beautiful face staring back at me, I knew in that very instant that my life had changed for the better and now almost 7 years later and three more children to add, my arms are just as full as my heart.
Balancing life with two plus twins is much harder than I thought it would be. First off I would like to tell you my thoughts on the twin saying, "Buy one, get one free!!". No. Not at all. Buy one, get another one and pay for the price of two. Ever try putting two babies into the same outfit? Having twins means buying two of everything... and I mean that. Not only are the financial aspects of having twins a factor but you also have to consider the emotional and physical demands as well. Having twins is not quite what I thought it would be but I also wouldn't change it for the world. These girls have opened my eyes and have shown me just how patient, loving, and blessed I truly am.
In the entries to come I will divulge many stories into the life of twins and parenting styles I have come to value and love. Breastfeeding, cloth diapering, and healthy living are most of the topics I will touch base on. Also, I will share many of my flaws and mistakes so that you who may be reading this can laugh, learn, and empathize.
To be continued...
