Since finding out that we were having multiples we have been really trying to just stay grounded. I am a personal believer that if you are always stressed, feeling overwhelmed and complaining that the energy of you (and those that surround you) will effect your baby. Ok so just a little insert... I will now be just be referring to them as babies because thats what we are having. So I have consciously tried to just stay calm and relaxed. The good days have far out numbered the bad days thus far, and I hope that when the waddling starts and the babies are the sizes of footballs that I can keep a positive attitude. One day at a time and one step at a time.
I have been given so much advice about everything and to be honest some goes in one ear and out the other, but some stays with me. This is ultimately our path to pave and I know that it won't be perfect, but I do know without a doubt that these babies will always be surrounded by a lot of love and they will be brought into a peaceful home.
Having a conversation with a good friend the other day I realized that life will change but honestly it has already only changed for the better. I don't want to be one of those mommies who loses her identity in her children. I want to grow and learn with them, but I still need to be a woman and a wife. Naturally, we are an easy going couple so I think it would be safe to say that after the first few months that will just slip back into place (now maybe I will also be eating these words in 7 months), but only time will tell.
Dallas and I have always been a team and on the same page through our marriage and if anything finding out that we are having twins has solidified that even more. Now the fun stuff begins... picking names, finding out the sexes, picking out a stroller, doing the nursery, filling up the nursery, and just really enjoying this stage of our life together. The next four months will be the last ones that belong to just Dallas and I ( that actually makes me sad), but the babies have come with perfect timing and we are totally ready for the challenge.
