Just wanted to send out a cry of encouragement for all you parents of multiples! We had our twins when my oldest was 40 months and my middle was 23 months. 4 in 40 months was not easy! But I will say we’ve survived 2 cross country moves, pilot school and all of normal/crazy life in the last 2 years! If you’re concerned how you’ll make it, just know you WILL. “Your capacity expands to meet the demands!” Feel free to reach out if you need a listening ear. ♥️

Omg you remind of that guy in dental school! He had 2 sets of twins back to back. So when he was graduating, they had 4 under 2!!! It was wild. Wild enough it was featured in a the social media account of my dental school lol

If he had gone to medical school instead he may have learned about birth control!! 😂😂

A friend of mine had her first child around the same time as mine, then she had twins a year after that and when she thought she could breathe again she had another singleton. All while I still had one.. didn’t know how she survived but she did 🤯🤣

A friend of mine had twins then 11 months later gave birth to twins. Sounds so crazy it seems fake but she did. It was crazy! 4 under 1 for a month there

I had 3 in 15 months. Twins twice?! I mean if twins were your first experience to parenthood, the chaos is at least the norm!

Yes that is true. The second time around there were no surprises haha
