She is so different to her twin sister, she needs more touches to fill up her 'love bank' and requires a much gentler approach in general. As I sat next to her bed, waiting for her to drift off and I was thinking about just how incredibly lucky I am.
I get double kisses, double cuddles, double love.
I have two beautiful, kind, stubborn, loving, strong-willed and spirited little twin girls.
This morning I was reflecting on how important those moments are.
The quiet moments, the loving cuddles.
They make me really appreciate my girls.
So many strangers unknowingly make hurtful comments about twins - "double trouble", "you've got your hands full!", "better you than me!".
The more you hear these things, the easier it is to think this way.
Remember - Twins are a blessing.
am so thankful for my girls. Double trouble? No. Double snuggles!!
Im so glad to hear this! i am expecting twins in may next year, and all i have been hearing is "oh my how will you handle them" and "your going to have your hands full". I never hear anything nice like this so instead of stressing about how i am going to handle the twins as well as my other 2 older kiddies im going to relax and look forward to all the baby snuggles i will have :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Absolutely. Forget what they say, it just brings anxiety where it is not needed. You've got this!
DeleteSoak up those snuggles :)
Thank you :) its such an amazing process very different to having a singleton! I will forget what they say! You're very inspiring, also i love that you're sharing your journey to make other mums remember the good things not so much the bad :) oh i most definitely will! I can't wait for newborn snuggles :)
