Only one baby would be so easy!

Ok, so my twins are now almost 12 weeks old, and things are starting to get easier. They have a bedtime, sleep 9 hours and then get up to eat and go down for another 3. I know, I am lucky. I have also had a hard time with my son's reflux and digestive issues and he is in pain for a lot of feedings which is very, very hard, but anyway,

I hear so many people with one baby complain how they can't shower or eat lunch and I am just confused. I feel like the entire world who has one baby is exagerating. I mean, it is not that hard, unless your child has some type of issue who cries nonstop, which my son does have for many feedings.

I am just rambling. I just find it so funny to me that people think having ONE BABY is so hard!!! Seriously ..it makes me laugh. When I take one baby to the doctor or on an errand I feel like I am on vacation!!!! There really is no point to this, I just think all of us twin moms deserve a lot of credit!!! And I don't think anyone knows how hard it is to have twins unless you have them yourself.

And to you triplet moms, there are no words. I have no idea what it is like and you are all supermoms. Really.

i have been a "one kid mom"... and while i never thought it was that hard (Griffin was a good baby and i knew what i was doing because i had tons of experience with babies)... I still had rough days.

Now i laugh at that - and think how easy my life was then!!  Having twins + a toddler is hard! Not ONE baby!  But, alas, it's all relative... what you have is always going to give you hard moments- no matter what it is

I have said that so many times!  When I am changing Caroline's clothes for the 3rd time in the morning after she keeps spitting up and haven't even touched Jack yet I think...wow, one baby would be a piece of cake!  I know any newborn is rough, but you are right, moms of multiples do deserve some extra credit for the extra work!

sometimes i drop a baby at my mother's and run errands with the other baby. I love it!!  Its soooooooooo easy. Even if the baby is fussy, its still ton easier than 2 babies.

These are my first kids so I have nothing to compare it too...but  yeah, one baby would be a cakewalk.

oh, and i am jealous how much your twins are sleeping!  we've had a few 6-8 hour stretches but most nights, we only get a 4-5 hour.

If it is any consolation my one baby was MUCH harder than these two.  It really is all relative but back then I didn't know what I was doing and my son was colicky.  This time I know what I am doing and the babies are angels.  It is my tot that is killing me.

I know what you mean! I had a MoM "Big Sister" who talked to me about the "I laugh at your one baby" stage. I definitely went through that!!

Sometimes my husband takes one baby to the store and lets me just have one baby at home and honestly, it does feel like a mini-vacation.  Being responsible for two babies at the same time is just exhausting.  And my babies are really good babies.  Even one really difficult baby would probably be easier than this.

LOL!!  Totally agree.....soooooo true! I have NO pitty for mom's with one...not at all!!! They do not have a clue!
