Need some opinions

Tomorrow is my bday and DH signed me and the twins up for a mommy & me class at the little gym.. The first day of class is today.. I'm going to admit that I've never taken the babies out in public alone yet... To a friends house yes, but not shopping or to the gym - so I'm a little nervous.. DH works from home most of the time but today is in the office.. My mom has guests from out of town staying with her... So I'm not sure what to do.. Go to the class and juggle them in/out the door by myself.. Deal with them possibly needing to eat or be fussy (we are still working on a schedule) or call and ask to make up the class when I can have someone with me??

I would just go.  You will have to do it eventually!  There will be lots of other mommies and people there that can lend a hand if you need it.  If they are terribly fussy, you can always go home, but I think taking the plunge will help you see that you can go out in public with both of them and manage just fine.  If there are things that help soothe your babies, like a baby carrier or pacifier, just make sure to have them on hand.

I am sure the little gym has helpers( staff) there to help you if something happends I think getting out and socalizing with other moms is a good thing. As PP said if things get overwhelming you can always go home... at least you gave it a try.

just do it! Moms go out with 2 babies all the time... you'll never get good at it if you don't do it.

bring them in with the stroller- then you can take them out one at a time and put on the mat... they will probably be so excited to see another place they have never been that they will be just fine - i know my boys have always behaved better when we are out and about - b/c they love seeing new things.

you'll do fine- and you'll feel like super mom. I remember the first time i took all 3 out on my own- i felt SOOO amazing afterwards. Now it's my every day normal. It will be your normal soon, too!

happy bday!

For sure do it alone!

I take the babies out by myself everyday almost- you have to get out of the house and it's not nearly the hassle it may seem to be.  We go to target, grocery shoppping, the mall and on Tuesdays we do a class each morning.  It's no biggie!

I agree that you'll gain so much confidence by doing this. The anticipation of going out on your own with them is probably much worse than the reality of doing it. I was very nervous the first time I took my guys out alone, but successfully accomplishing it was a huge boost of mama confidence, and now I actually look forward to it, most of the time. Good luck (and happy birthday)!
