I've always dreamed of having boy/ girl twins. I know it would be a TON of work. I would most likely complain every single day for the first 2 years, and you would not see me very often. And if you did, I would look like a hot mess. I'm not naive to the fact that twins are no easy feat. After watching a friend of mine have boy/girl twins around the same time Kensie was born, I was in total awe as she nursed them, bathed them, changed their diapers, and got them in and out of the car. They sucked every minute of her day.
But I kinda like challenges, and I just think it would be SO much fun down the road!
You can call me crazy now. It's okay.
Anyway, Mason has a birthday buddy. They were born on the same day, in the same hospital, just a few rooms apart from each other.
Since then, we've been able to get together the past couple years to celebrate with a picture.
The funny part is they have always been off-the-charts when it comes to size, so they really DO look like twins. Gracie's mommy and I laugh about it all the time...
If these little guys stay friends down the road, it will be so fun to pull out these pics for them!!

Anyone else out there dream of having twins someday?
I always thought I wanted twins until I had one. Thankful I didn't. What I have now is close enough for me. It comes with the advantages of having twins, like playing with the same age toys, always having a playmate, but they still have soem of their own things and having only 1 baby at a time was muuuuuch easier. :) I see where you're coming from though. Be careful what you wish for!! :)
ReplyDeleteTrue true. My other BIG reason is I don't enjoy being pregnant...like at all. So it would be nice to get two for one and then be DONE! We want 4 kids at this point, but I really don't want to go through pregnancy TWO more times. But like you said, careful what you wish for! ;)
DeleteOh my! I totally understand! I actually really wanted El to be a twin. I was disapointed after my 1st ultra sound because their was only 1 baby. Crazy right?!? Of course once she was out and I was trying to juggle 3 kids...I was thanking God!
DeleteJen!! That is absolutely hilarious....glad I'm not the only one who's crazy :)
