You Know You're a Twin Mom When...

Another twin mom and I were texting the other day about how being twin moms is like being part of a secret society. Any time I'm out with the twins and there's another mother of multiples around, she'll always come talk to me and vice versa. It's quite a club we've joined, double the blessings! This friend and I were going back and forth about the uniqueness of being a twin mom so I thought I'd share...

You know you're a twin mom when...

• You wish your C-Section came with a tummy tuck
• You're used to the stares, "bless your heart"s and "you've got your hands full" comments everywhere you go
• You cried when you found out you were having twins and either waned to punch your husband or kiss your Reproductive Endocrinologist
• You spend more time with your breast pump than your friends
• You have a Breastfriend nursing pillow collecting dust somewhere because tandem nursing is an urban twin myth
• You roll your eyes smile when someone tells you their two young children close in age is "the same as having twins"
• Your babies are on a perfect schedule courtesy of the NICU and your type A personality that you; a) already had or b) developed due to having twins
• You have the same answer when people ask "are they natural?"
• That answer may include, but is not limited to...
• "we were very blessed"
• "it was a total surprise"
• "twins do/do not run in our family"
• "yes, they're real babies"
• "do you mind if I ask how you conceived your children?"
• "we did IVF, bitch."
• You want to lose your mind when people ask if they are twins. "No, they are just two babies who are the same size, wearing matching outfits, born 9 months apart."
• Your diaper bag is almost too big to be a carry on
• Your biceps are amazing
• You get twice the love, twice the cuddles, twice the kisses and you feel twice as blessed for being a mom to two perfect little people!

Nothing is more true than this quote I've seen from other twin moms; "If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart"
