If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask.  I feel like I've pretty much done it all at this point.

    Thanks. I will for sure. Right now I'm pretty much just excited. I love watching the boys together, but can't wait to see what the singleton experience is like. I'm hoping I'm not too optimistic when I think about how fun (for lack of a better word, although I doubt fun is really the right word) it is going to be to snuggle, nurse and bond with one baby. Although I know having two toddlers in tow will make it a more interesting experience for sure. 

    I don't have too many specific questions right now other than, how has it been overall and how has your DH dealt with it? I work part time so DH has a couple days a week alone with the boys. He is so good with the boys I imagine he'll be just fine, but he is worried about how he's going to cope with three.

    I'm sure I'll have many more questions as time goes on, especially after the baby comes.

    Yes, the bond with my singleton is a lot different than with the twins.  It's almost like they have each other and so he depends on me a lot more than they ever did.  He is much more snuggley than the twins.  And it was such an easy pregnancy after being pregnant with twins. 

    I won't lie, it's tough some days.  My biggest advice would be to line up as much help as you can in the beginning.  It's hard enough to be exhausted from a newborn but to be exhausted and having to deal with two other kids all day is really hard.   I tried to get the twins on a super-strict schedule so that it would be easy for other people to help and just make the day go smooth.

    My DH is getting better  now that the boys are getting older but he doesn't do well when 3 kids are whining or the twins won't go to bed.   I do notice we have strains on our relationship that I don't notice our friends with only one kid have to deal with.  I try to make time for the two of us and time for each kid too and sometimes I feel like I spread so thin.

    But I wouldn't trade this life for the world!!
