Those who have 2 plus kids

NotSharknado

For those of you who have more than one baby, how weird did it feel to say "our kids"? I know after Sophia was born, for months I would get giddy every time I was able to use kids or children. It's almost the same feeling when right after you get married and start using Mr. And Mrs. Last name. Maybe I'm silly but it was fun adjusting to having "kids".

It was a little odd to say, "the girls," lol.  But it's going to be even stranger to me to have to adjust and start saying "the kids," because now they won't all be girls!

LOL - Definitely this.

Also, I've been married over 4 years and it still feels weird (in a fun way) to refer to DH as my husband.

Saying "my boys" makes my heart feel all squishy inside!

I just love it. I'm still in Aw every time I say my kids. Love it!

We giggled about it for a good 3-4 months, but then got used to it.

I never had that adjustment, I had two right off the bat.

This will be true for me too if this baby is a girl. We say "the boys" a lot.

To kind of spin off the main topic...

Whenever I'm out with just one of the girls and someone starts talking to me about my kids, I just HAVE to let them know I have another one. It's weird, but I just cannot stand the thought of people knowing about one of my kids but not the other.

I'm the same way.  But it kind of also has to do with that thing I was talking about in the second epic thread, when people are so shocked by my age because of how young I look.  Almost every time I go out someone asks, "Aww, your first?"  And I say, "Nope, my third."

Cue the:

"How OLD are you?"

Yeah it's annoying sometimes, but sometimes it gives me the giggles.

I've started (very tentatively) referring to "the girls" when we talk about future events and upcoming summer activities.  Like, "Well, when we take the girls to the cabin this summer..."

It's so weird and awesome and totally makes me giddy!!!!

By the time we're done we're going to have to refer to the kids as a roster.  As in a basketball roster. ;P

I love saying the boys.  My boys; all 3 of them including DH.

I've all ready started saying "the boys" and DS2 isn't coming for a few months yet. It's totally fun!
