So, it looks like Monday night is now "multiples" night on TLC. A new show about a couple in Texas with quints called "Quints by Surprise" premiered, along with another "Kate +8" show. We started watching "Jon and Kate +8" when it first began and were sad to see their marriage crumble on national TV. However, I think the Gosselins should get back together now- Kate has turned into the skanky girl of Jon's dreams! HELLO! Have you seen how she's dressing? Her tops are more revealing than anything she wore on "Dancing with the Stars." As a parent of multiples I know the divorce rates are pretty high, and I totally know why. New babies+ parents with little to no sleep+ financial stress= divorce. We get pretty gripey when we haven't had a lot of sleep, and we only have twins! I cannot imagine how parents of higher order multiples get through their days. My little guys are pretty easy, and pretty amazing. They wake up so happy and smiling- I don't remember the older boys being so happy all the time. Yes, my little identical angels. And even though they're identical, I don't think they look alike. Then I see pictures of them, like the one I posted, and think "hmmmm, I'm wrong, aren't I?" I always wanted twins, and never thought I would have them. I've been fascinated with multiples since I was about 4 years old. I've read articles, books, watched TV specials...before having twins, I felt pretty knowledgeable about multiples. Now that I'm getting a first hand experience, I realize all of those things I chose to educate myself with were great tools to prepare myself for a life with twins. Yes, I am a mother of multiples. That's probably easier for me to say out loud than admitting that I have 4 sons!And thanks to everyone who posted comments and became followers of the blog! It was a little success and I appreciate you all!
Way to go! I want twins next. I figure it is the only way I can get James to have more than 2 kiddos. I realize it is probably futile to dream for the 4 I would like, so if I could have twins I'd settle for 3. Twins do run in my family. My grandmother had an identical twin sister, so maybe it's possible.
ReplyDeleteJennifer- totally possible! It only runs on the mother's side, unfortunately they say identical twins don't quite work that way. The full term is "spontaneous identical twins,' because the cell splits spontaneously and it has nothing to do with genetics, like fraternal twins. However, after finding out that my dad had 2 sets of identical twin cousins (one set on both his mom and dad's sides of the family) I might be debating that fact....
