My First New Post

I have been reading so many blogs lately that I have been inspired to create my own. I think that it will be a wonderful thing for Ava & Jake to look back at. I attempted to start a journal but that did not work out. I am thinking about my title and although it sounds negative, I think its real. Having twins is hard! It's something that tests your endurance and your patience. It's wonderful as well and when you think about the fact that you have 2 special human beings as opposed to one it leaves you in awe.

Before I continue, I should introduce myself. My name is Patricia. I am 28 years old. I used to be a 3rd grade teacher. But most importantly I am the mother of twins, Ava & Jake, 14 month old beauties. My pregancy, which was my first, was normal up until my standard 18 week ultrasound when they discovered there were two as opposed to just one. My reaction, very happy and SHOCKED. Well 2 weeks later due to a disappering cervix, I had a cerclage and was on bedrest till the end. I had Ava & Jake at exactly 35 weeks when my cerclage was removed and everything went smoothly.

Hi! I followed you here from my sitemeter account. Anyways, I always love to find another mommy to twin toddlers. You are right it is HARD (you mentioned that in one of the posts I read). Don't beat yourself up for those times that you feel like that b/c it is truly reality but it is also AWESOME! It seems like you understand that balance. BTW despite what other twin mommies say at times I am a firm believer that it gets easier. I swear 21 months is easier than 15 as 15 months is easier that 3 months. Ok the change isn't AS drastic but it is a positive change. Sorry didn't mean to write a novel just wanted to say "HI"!
