In the beginning...

At the end of February, my husband and I, our lives were changed forever. We were blessed with two, beautiful healthy girls. They are 3 months now, but I still feel the way I did at my first ultrasound. I can't believe I'm having/had twins. MANY times I think to myself, "Why me?" Everyone kept telling me, God won't give you more than you can handle. So I kept saying to myself, Okay God, you better know what your doing! :) This was our first pregnancy, so we are starting from square one. We learn as we go. It is a great journey and I have the best husband and family to help me through it.

I created this blog because I wanted to talk about my life with twins. It always seems to me like mothers talk about how amazing life is with their children and how perfect it is, or maybe they just don't want to talk about the not so good times. So that made me feel like I'm the only one who struggles. I don't know if it's just me, or with twins, but I experience some very overwhelming moments, good and bad. For example, good: just a week ago Adelyn made eye contact with me for the first time, and I physically felt something in my heart I have never felt before. She was discovering her mommy. :)// Bad: all packed up about to leave the hospital, Emmalyn blessed her momma with a projectile poop, ALL over me, even in my mouth. Yes, funny, but I also just wanted to cry. Especially if that's just the beginning to my new life. I know I'm not alone in this. So I hope someone who reads this will feel like they are not alone in this either.

Also, when I dreamed of having a baby, I always said I would dress them up in the cutest clothes. BUT after my first trip to the store, I realized that it will be more difficult financially, especially since I have to buy TWO of everything. So I started to just tell myself that they won't be able to dress like that. BUT, I love to sew and create things, so I'll also be sharing my cute little creations for my girls.

So, just because you have twins, or even one baby, does not mean your dreams and lives are now at a stand still till they grow up, we just have to be creative!

So here's my journey. Enjoy!
