I know why God gave me twins---I would obsess over one and never leave him/her alone.
My quest for perfection in every aspect of my life has stopped. Nothing can be perfect with twins.
My best advice for parents of twins? Stop listening to people's advice to parents of twins.
Once I accepted that my twins are individuals who cannot be forced onto the same feeding schedule or have the same sleeping patterns, my life became instantly manageable.
Life with two infants is easy; it is all the other stuff that gets in the way of the fun.
It bothers me when people watch the babies for a few hours and then claim it is easy. Please visit us at 3am when both are screaming and there aren't enough hands to make anyone happy.
Twins are a lifestyle. You commit to the madness and enjoy the ride.
The day both my babies slept through the night was the best day I've ever had. Yes, better than the day they were born. If you don't understand that statement, then consider yourself lucky that you didn't have 5 months of sleep deprivation. By deprivation I mean 2 to 3 hours on nonconsecutive sleep each night.
"Yes, they are twins. No, they aren't identical" is the #1 phrase I say when I go to the store.
When I get overwhelmed, I look at pictures of triplets.
