For those *wishing* for multiples...

...I wish they could have been at my house today - both of them cried ALL.DAY.LONG!!  I don't know if they are teething or if they both just decided that today was going to be their grouchy day, but oh my - it was a long, hellacious (sp?) day!!!  I sure hope we don't have any more days like this for a LONG time!!!!!

Yup! My 2 month olds decided bed time was going to be Scream Fest last night and tonight. When they are both screaming I feel myself going a little crazier

LOL - I think of this at times too - I will share my story...

Most nights I do on my own and before bed E had a blow out poop requiring a bath - so I run her upstairs naked, put her in the tub and run down and grab A and diapers.  So she gets a bath with A trying to jump on my back.  Then I am getting ready to put them down and I am changing A's diaper and she hates diaper changes so she flips over and pees on the floor.  E decides that now is the perfect time to try and crawl through the puddle of pee.  So I am pinning A down trying to get a diaper on her, at the same time I am trying to hold E back from crawling through the puddle of pee.  And everyone is screaming their heads off. 

It's funny now but it sucked at the time.

I'll add my story of today...

Right when I finally got both of them to nap, which still takes way too long...some d-bag running for some kind of elected office decided to knock at the door. Cue two barking dogs and two crying toddlers. I then spent the rest of the day dealing with fights over who gets which cup, puzzle, car, spoon, you name it.

That's so funny that you posted this tonight because I was thinking of posting a picture of mine and their dueling tantrum tonight. I had to take a pic because they were side by side on the floor, kicking and screaming...not to mention my 4 year old whining and crying on the couch. That means bedtime!

I don't think anything ruins my day more than when someone wakes up the babies! Probably makes me more mad that it should!

I hear ya. I have had that thought before when there's the craziness. Or for the people who gush about how well-behaved my boys are, there are moments when I think, "I should get this on video; they don't believe me that it can be tough."

Ha .. I am pregnant with twins now and I keep having nightmares of days like that! I am so terrified they will both cry all the time. 

It's crazy to me how many people tell me how 'lucky' I am to be pregnant with twins. This has been a rough pregnancy for me medically and emotionally and people seem to have being pregnant with twins as an ideal way to go. I didn't plan to get pregnant let alone with twins! I was told I couldn't have anymore kids .. way to show them doc's huh?   LOL ..  seriously though for years I was told I couldn't have anymore kids because of previous cancer treatments. My last two pregnancies ended in losses so this pregnancy has been very nerve wracking! Then for there to be two babies to prepare for! It's been very overwhelming. I just don't understand why people are so fascinated with trying to have twins! I'd just want to have a healthy baby .. well in my case two healthy babies! 

I'm seriously terrified though! I want to be a good mom and give the babies all kinds of love and attention but I am so worried about managing caring for two at once. I guess its a good thing I will have help for a bit until I can get into a routine!

I hear you.  Three toddlers getting their lower molars...  Need I say more?  :-)   They're blessings, but it's definitely not glamorous.

I had a day like this on Friday.  I sobbed for about 45 min during nap time.

I almost made a post just like this...no one understands how f*cking hard this is.   Thankfully, as the babies get older, those days are less frequent, but they still happen.

I feel like people who tell me that should come to my house during the "witching hour", or more like hours.  Add a potty training toddler who always seems to pee on the floor during the worst of it and it becomes awesome.

When ever anyone says this I always think a)do they not remember how I got here (IVF) and b) how can they not know the risks during the pregnancy. It's one of my pet peeves. I personally would rather hear , oo wow twins... that's going to be hard. The I'm jealous! We are hoping for twins always makes me cringe. Twins are awesome but I have definetly had to come to grips with things won't be how I want them to be both during pregnancy and after birth. But I am so grateful!
