My Sweet Escape

This post has been a long time coming. I mean really, my beautiful, healthy babies are 7 months old already! Being a mom of two babies with their own personalities is both challenging and rewarding. I am very lucky to be a stay at home mom, but that is not to say that it is easy!

When I first found out I was expecting twins, I reached out to and spoke with all of the twin moms (and dads) I could find. I had lots of questions- some about twin gear like strollers and logistics of whether to put them in the same crib, or even the same room- and others more general, like what to do when both babies are crying at the same time. I got a lot of opinions on the gear, but not any satisfactory answers as to my general questions about how to handle having 2 babies.

I will be using this space to document what has worked for me and my family in taking care of 2 babies. I recognize that my opinions are different than most. For example, I do not buy into the “twin mystique.” I truly believe that my babies are two individuals who happened to be born at the same time. They have distinct personalities and I never generalize their behavior by calling them “the twins.” Regardless, I am excited to share my thoughts on parenting 2 babies. They are amazing already, and I know it’s only going to get better.
