I didn't have my twins until they were 16 months old, but ever since then I've pretty much had triplets. :) I've never thought much about being a "twin mom" though, maybe b/c my twins are adopted (?)<BR/><BR/>Take heart because as of 16 months old, they are definitely not twice as much work. Then in our family at least, Anna and Yosef currently have the closest sibling relationship, go figure. And Biniam and Kaitlyn often pair off. <BR/><BR/>Newborn twins are ADORable! Can't wait! You'll do great, and twins are awesome, and Henry will be a rockin' older brother!Brianna Heldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224838737334231065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718497027025949959.post-21412478647017485452009-01-08T19:09:00.000-08:002009-01-08T19:09:00.000-08:00Jeannett,Wow welcome to the world of multiples.

Our first were twin boys, came early and are now 6.5. Twins are awesome. You get to eat twice as much, get twice as much help. It is such a blessing and even though I have only known you known you from this silly blog world, you will be an awesome mom of 3! Congrats! Welcome to the mother of twins club!shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979460784361297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718497027025949959.post-49775473971546909072009-01-08T10:40:00.000-08:002009-01-08T10:40:00.000-08:00double the diapers, double the work...double the s...double the diapers, double the work...double the smiles and double the perks. double the hugs and double the fun...so much more joy than with only one!

When your kids get to 4.5 lbs each I'll lament with you. =)<BR/>It's weird to think that your identity as a family has totally changed now that you have twins.

I was thinking of you a lot, and remembered someone who nursed her twins. And probably supplemented as well. (She is <BR/>4'11" or somewhere around there. It can be done, but yes, she was all baby. I wish I could be more encouraging there.) I think I can get you her contact information if you want it. She also belongs to a group for multiples.Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874232257064291731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718497027025949959.post-44140388028592090142009-01-08T07:11:00.000-08:002009-01-08T07:11:00.000-08:00Yes my dear, you and Andy have been blessed--times...Yes my dear, you and Andy have been blessed--times two!!
