Sometimes, having twins is so hard.
The crying, the feeding times, the colic, the impact on our relationship, the sheer amount of laundry that is created...
And sometimes, like today, like with my babies 20 minutes ago just before I had to rouse them for their last feed, like with the day the two of them and I have had, one of those days that will go down in the books as a good day, I'm reminded of just how amazing they really are.
I hope that they're best friends forever.

This ^^^ is the reason I always thought I wanted twins. Practicalities aside, the miracle of twinship amazes me in a magical way. {{hugs}}

There are 7 sets of twins in 3 generations of our family... and none of us in our generation has come up with them... they're waiting on me... apparently.
I see a photo like this and think.
I'm up for it.

Yeah, it's such an amazing blessing having twins. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed and want to cry because it is a lot of work, and then they look at me and smile, and it's all ok. And wait till they start to interact with each other! It's so cool! For us it didn't start to happen until recently (7.5 months) but now they look at each other and smile and coo at each other, and it makes me eyes well up!

They will always have a bond. Our boy/girl twins may act as if they hate each other sometimes, but you can see the love they have for each other. That is the sweetest photo I've ever seen.

Having just spent a holiday of 10+ hour drives each way with my four children, I can guarantee you that they will NOT always be best friends, and when they're doing the whole "He's touching me!" thing in the car, you may question why you ever THOUGHT having children was a good idea in the first place. But as others have said, I'm sure they will definitely have a very special bond. If nothing else, in 20 years they'll laugh over their mom's Elf addiction! (And the fact that she'll always insist on making a turkey in November that she never eats.)

Glad to know that your familia is adjusting to your new life together, with all of its ups and downs. Your babies are beautiful! We're still waiting for our little one to arrive (going into extra innings now), so I know it is especially inappropriate for me to recommend reading material on a subject I haven't dealt with before, but I suppose that hasn't stopped me before. I'm also not certain about blog etiquette on this topic either. But, if you're interested, the book "Birthing from Within" which mainly deals with a topic that you are well past, has chapters on "gestating parenthood" and "babyproofing your marriage" that I thought were interesting. The authors recommend the book, "The Transition to Parenthood: How a First Child Changes a Marriage" by Jay Belsky and John Kelly. Since your twins are the first children with your relationship with your partner, I thought it might be helpful. But then again, I am not at that stage yet, and do not speak from experience!
My best to your whole family...

I read your blog everyday and almost never comment. I have 5 children, the youngest being 6 weeks old. That photo is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen, even though baby photos are par for the course for me.
