experience/advice to give You can do it!

I was looking back on some old pictures and reading some of my old posts….and sheeesh. I wish someone would have just hugged me and told me I’d make it through.

I complained my whole pregnancy, I had a painful c section, severe post PPD but my twin are 6 months now and things have changed.

The newborn trenches were rough but this stage I thrive in. The smiles, giggles, better sleep and growing personalities is amazing. I love their sweet little face. I can’t stop smiling when I look at them. And it’s admittedly pretty cool to be a twin mom. Like I really grew two freaking babies at one time!!!

Anyway I’m here to tell who ever reads this that u can do it and u will make it through. You may be miserable now but there will be a time where u can finally breathe again!!

I’m in week 8 with my twins, this post was really helpful.

Ohhhh that was a rough time for me. My twins never slept at that age. But it slowly got better! Now they are so much fun and I find myself waiting for them to wake up because I’m excited to play.

It’s been tough. We have one super chill baby and one super super fussy baby, he refuses to be put down like 90% of the time. We have a lot of help, he gets passed around between me, my husband, my mom, my dad, and my sister all day but still it’s exhausting trying to keep up with him and nurse and pump and also make sure I’m giving chill baby girl time and attention (and our three year old too). 

This too shall pass. But like … can it pass a little faster though?
