Letters to my daughters

I saw another mom of multiples with a website of letters to her girls. I thought this was a great idea. I know I won't print the blogs...so this will probably be an outlet to talk about motherhood, and what's going on with the girls. I do think I might start a journal that later on they can have. This will allow me to also share my thoughts about my girls with others.

Being a mom to twins has never been "easy"...but it's never been not worth it either. I can't imagine not having both of my girls. They are my everything. Someone once told me every stage gets different but not easier. Sounds pessimistic, but very true. Right now this stage (18 mo.) is my favorite...though it's also been very difficult too. The girls say so many things now, and phrases, they remember favorite places and friends, they get excited about things, they know what they like and don't like. However, they also say "no" A LOT. They run around EVERYWHERE, climb like monkeys, and are full fledged toddlers. So, yes, every stage is different...but not easy. When they were infants they would sleep all the time, and smile, but they were SO needy. My girls also had reflux issues, so that was a struggle...all that has passed, and here we are...toddlerhood.

I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday I was waking Nelson up and telling him to rush me to the hospital! Crazy. Life goes by so fast...enjoy every second of it. Take lots of pictures, and cuddle with your kids as often as possible. I will be that mom crying when I first take them to school, taking pictures, and hugging and kissing them. Ha! Someday they will understand :).
