Reasons I love having twins!

20.) Two babies, one pregnancy. And based on how miserable my pregnancies have been this is a true blessing.
19.) Parenting is forced to happen. There is no time to "think" with two.
18.) I am always validated as a mother 90% of the time someone is smiling at me!
17.) Everyday is a new experience. I never know who is going to be my happy baby or my fussy baby...they keep me guessing.
16.) Knowing no matter how bad my day is going or how overwhelming it may be someone will surely remind me "I don't know how you do it"...and the fact of the matter is...I just have to.
15.) Milestones and accomplishments happen simultaneously. If you think it is awesome to watch one child learn to walk...try two! Simply AMAZING!
14.) Watching them share, fight, love and interact with each other.
13.) Knowing that they will forever share an unconditional, unbreakable bond...the first day of school won't seem so tough and mommy and daddy going to work isn't so devestating.
12.)I am part of an elite club...Mommy of Multiples. Moms of multiples share a bond that moms of singletons simply don't have. We have walked the same battlefield and become instant friends when we see each other in public.
11.) Babies are cute, sweet and adorable. I have that times two.
10.) They are little stinkers together. They interact in a way that is simply unexplainable. A never ending partner in crime...and yes, it has already started. Like today...both of them trying to hide from mommy behind the toy box.
9.) Watching them take care of each other when the other is upset. Brendan cries when Colin is upset and says "be happy", Colin on the other hand tries to pat Brendan's head to make him feel better.
8.) Having two of everything. While it doesn't hep my pocket book...it helps my house look...well, fuller.
7.) Family never has to fight over who get's to hold the baby. There are two to give all the love in the world to.
6.)Recognizing the distinct differences in each of them while everyone we meet insists "they must be identical, the look so much alike"
5.) And then...recognizing that we have been calling Brendan Colin for the better part of the day.
4.) They play together...giving mommy and daddy occasional free time. Theoretically, that is.
3.) 90% of my eccentric behavior can be explained away by one simple statement "I have twins"
2.) Double the kisses, double the hugs, double the giggles, double the love
And the Number 1 reason I absolutely love having my twins
THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS NEW BABY LOOK LIKE THE MOST WELL-BEHAVED PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL TO EVER GRACE THIS EARTH.
