Garrett says this once a day. Now, I'm sure having one baby is not boring. But Garrett and I will never know what having only one baby will be like. We will never fight over who gets to rock the baby to sleep, we each rock one. We will never argue over who changed the last diaper, there is always another baby to change. We will never draw straws to decide who gets up for night feedings, there are two babies to feed. Some days only having one baby seems so much easier. There are two parents and one baby. The parent is never out numbered when alone with the baby. One parent feeds the baby while the other has dinner. Then you switch. One parent gets up at night to feed the baby. The parent never has to make the choice of which crying baby to soothe, feed, change first.
With all of the difficulties that come with having infant twins there are many more joys. We NEVER have to fight over who gets that cozy-after bath-snuggle time with the baby, we each get that. There are twice as many smiles and one day twice as many hugs. We will get to watch them grow and develop together as more then just brothers. We get stopped everywhere we go so strangers can fawn over "the twins". We get to be part of the secret club only parents of multiples have access to.
Garrett may be right. One baby would be boring.
I'm so glad you're back!!! I'll spread the word. Thanks for sharing these moments and thoughts with us. Just to add to your post, these are the most precious boys ever. Love ya lots.
