what's it like having twins?

that's a great question.  it's honestly awesome!
this is happiness my friends    

     while i was pregnant, all i heard was how hard it was going to be and "bless your heart" and  "better you than me".  ya know, that kind of stuff.  i guess i was expecting the worst, so when we brought them home, we were pleasantly surprised. 
     let it be known, our little men are very good boys and that makes it much easier.
     the only thing that kind of bums me out is that i don't feel like i can give them enough one on one time.  i start to feel a little guilty, but what can you do, ya know?
    
     i think my favorite thing about having twins are peoples' reactions to us.  i feel like santa clause.  we are a stroller full of happiness.  everyone smiles at us and comments on how cute they are.  and when i say everyone, i mean everyone right down to the gangsters with the tear drop tats on their face (i have to admit, i was a little scared).  am i bragging?  yeah.  sorry.  today was fun because a cop stopped us while we were walking into the grocery store and talked to me for a good ten minutes about the boys and when the conversation came to a close he said "you guys just made my day happy".  i guess you could say that taking the boys around town is just my way of giving back.  totally kidding.  kind of.
come on, how can they not make you happy
anyway, it's fun being parents of twins.  never a dull moment and always a baby available to cuddle and love on.

Awesome. There is something special about babies, and two just doubles the fun.

Oh man, they are nummy.
And yes, twins sounds overwhelming but freak, what a fun adventure! And with our first stab at motherhood, we don't know the difference.
Also, your hair is adorbs and your face is skinny. So basically, you look hot.

Good post al.....I know I'm not a mother yet AND I could totally eat my words when I am- but it drives me crazy when moms are over dramatic about being moms! I'm so happy for you and those little chic-lets!

I couldn't agree more with this post. It's funny- I heard the same things. Everyone wished me good luck and made me absolutely terrified! How HOW COOL are two?! I couldn't imagine it any different and don't want to. Twins rule and so do boy twins. Plus- everyone will be jealous the older they get b/c they will constantly have a little buddy to play with/entertain them.

PS- your above video is adorable. I to have a screamer,he rarely actually cries. But he already throws tantrums at 3 months. Full blown cock his head back and wail tantrums. Hilarious! :)
