I bet after twins, one would be easy.

I feel like I handled a high risk pregnancy, dangerous delivery, premature twins, in the NICU for a month, home on Oxygen tanks, Colick and reflux attacks, midnight drives in the snow to get them to sleep, hundreds of sleepless nights...

I don't know if we will have another baby or not. But,I guarantee it will be cake compared to twins! I just want to know what it is like to have 1 baby at a time. So maybe I'm done, and maybe I'm not. Don't know yet, but I would like to know the feeling of carrying a baby to full term and bringning it home from the hospital healthy. And once I finally get it to sleep in the middle of the night, not having the second one wake up ready to eat.  Ah, that would be nice. Now that I have accomplished newborn twins, I can do anything!  :) hehe

  • I totally think one would be easier than two!  But your challenge will be how to manage a newborn while chasing after twin little ones!  Big Smile

  • I'm living it right now. It's easier but no walk in the park.  I have no idea what to do with a newborn at home not on a NICU schedule of eating and sleeping.  I missed this part the first time around.  Prioritizing is certainly coming in handy, I'm always busy but it's all worth it.  31 weekers now 22 months old and a 6 week old.  Never a dull moment around here.

  • I feel the same way...in fact it's partially b/c I had such a horrible experience with this pregnancy that I'm really seriouslyt hinking about trying to have another baby in a couple years...OF COURSE the twins would need to be a lot more self sufficient...like 4 before we could do that! :)
  • I thought the same thing when I was pregnant with our youngest son.  Unfortunatley, I had another premiee.  This time he came home on an apnea monitor after spending 7 days in the NICU and he's globally delayed.  We're lookinig at a possible diagnosis of autistic with him.  So, my youngest son isn't as easy as newborn twins....

  • Ahhh....I feel the same way...and my girls are only 2 months old! I keep tossing around the idea...but I'm just not sure about having another.

    I really do miss being pregnant ( I NEVER thought i would say that)...but I was looking back at my pg belly pics and I do I do I do!!!!

    It took us so long to get pg...i think I might just leave it up to nature...if it happens it happens...not doing any more FT tho.

    Thanks Saucy Sarie!!!

  • I know what you mean; I haven't gone through everything you have, but to me right now one really does seem like a piece of cake!
