thats a great HONEST story it ISN'T easy by far.... and i think others need to tell ppl how they feel so others who are feeling alone can relate and NOT think its only them going thru the huge amout of emotions, tiredness and craziest times in our lives xxx

I was 23 pregnant and skipped out of work one day. I decided to go to the hospital because i was always feeling so sick and nausiated as well as tired. I needed a doctors note too for work. I found out i was having twins and i was so scared. I was scared but so excited. The doubts came all the time untill i had them. Now they are almost 3 ( in oct). I had a great pregnacy and i made myself heal after my ceserian. Just kept on goin. I knew i had to take care of these babies god wanted me to have, I was home when they were 2 days old and that night was the hardest night i have ever had. I was in pain but i knew i still had to care for them. After a while we developed a schedual and things were ok. i took them everywhere with me. Now they are so big and i look back and cant belive i did so much already, In july of "09 i had another girl. My last one by the way, i am cut and tied.. yes i know there can be a chance lol. It was so much harder after she came in the picture, My boy twin cody, is a mamas boy. So the adjusting and not being able to function rite after another ceserian was so much harder. Its still hard but atleast the twins have always had eachother to play with. I have never let anyhting hold me back. My kids and i do everything together. I have an in home daycare but only have one other 1 yr old with us. Its very hard for a single mom to raise her children especially 2. Everyone always says idk how you do it. I always reply, because i have to. My husband driver over the road so he is not with us all the time. I can relate to alot that has been talked about. The best thing is to stay positive. i have grown so much as a woman just by having the twins. Im only 26 and i feel so much more mature just by experience what i have been through. its not always easy and there are alot of mommy time outs. Strength is definitly needed for any mom but more for ones with more than one. Single moms at that. My life is my kids and we make it fun and grow everyday. I absolutly lv being a mom and i always think about the future. They wont be cryin all at once in a few yrs, hopefully, lol! Im glad i found this app on facebook!

no problems :) happy 2 meet u i know things can be hard. VERY hard. and if u dont have a strong family support group like i did not have either its even worse. and u tend 2 find out who ur friends are at times in crisis or need dont u :( sad 4 our so called friends i think xxxxx contact me anytime here or via facebook have a few groups on there too may or may not interest u, when i found out i was having twins at first i think i was in shock lol i was neither happy nor unhappy just processing it. i must admit i was a single mum of a single child for 3 yrs b4 this and i thought that was hard!!! it PALES in comparison!!!!! also at 5months of age the twins lost their nan (my mum) who was a huge support 4 me and a loving nanny 4 them. i will admit honestly i broke down and was just lost, didnt know how to go on, as u wld all know our mums r the go to's when we have questions, need a lil down time and rest or just a big hug. the twins r 2 and a half, talking about their nanny STILL even after losin her at such a young age. i do find it hard and often questioned if i was a good mum etc the whole range of emotions dont feel bad at all everyone feel differently i was thinkin with the new BABY lol i had it all mapped out clothes etc the whole nine yards n finding out i need double everything made me question if i was ready 4 this HUGE addition to our tiny family things r getting better now but i still question myself (re- my back probs) as im SO limited to what i can do with them but i was very worried the whole way thru as ive heard so many stories of how things can go terribly wrong with twins but when they were born i was blissful..... til we got home... the 1st 6months were a blur... tiredness, washing cleanin c section recovery and thats when my emotions hit, just managing day 2 day. but one day i got up n thought no thats it. ive 3 healthy children, i ADORE them and im doing the best that i can and accepted that im sure u will know urself when ur doing ur job ;) a simple hug and i love u mummy is all the reassurance u need and dont dwell on how u feel or felt after losin mum i was so negative took on the I CANT attitute but then realised what i had and now ITS STILL BLOODY HARD LOL but i manage u have ur doubts but u will get there all my love 2 ur family and contact me if u need a private chat xxxxx

Hi all! I'm a full time working mom with 4.5 year old b/g twins. I was very involved in my local twin play group when they were small but that fell apart as some of the older twins started preschool.

I know that among the twin moms I know, I'm the youngest by far and probably was the least excited to find out I was having twins. I've made the most of it and love my twins to death but honestly I'd have preferred to have them 1 at a time. Does anyone else have this same feeling? Sometimes I feel guilty about my thoughts but they are what they are and that's my HONEST TRUTH! Any other Colorado twin moms out there?

Hi there everyone!

I have twin 7 year old fraternal girls. Amazing little things! It's been a wild ride. Recently (7months now) seperated from their father and striking it out on my own. I just graduated from nursing school and am waiting to take my boards so I can hopefully get a job!!! It would be great if this group got going. I still don't have any mommy friends with twins and boy is it different! Look forward to getting to know y'all!

mine are 2 and a half now and paige my lil girl twin just ZOOMED along with the talking thing! yet samuel my lil boy twin was so hard 2 make sense of up until at least 3weeks ago it was all mumbles n pointing and frustration and u cls c he was tryin so hard 2 get it out and paige wld just come out with it plain as day and ask 4 what she wanted, while poor sammy even me it took some time 2 understand what he wanted, the last few weeks ive noticed alot of improvement i know its hectic as anything but when i have a chance ive been getting books etc when my lil girl twis is having a nap and he is just with me n my 7yo, n showing him pictures and telling him what they were first n he has slowly started to pick it up and speak clearer. even my single child who is 7 now went thru that phase 2 i guess its just some kids do it when theyre ready i think. she was not speakin well and one day just took off but when were home alone i talk 2 the kids just like id talk 2 you as for eg- when im cooking tea etc id just ask them now what would you like mummy to cook you 4 tea? etc and so on i also had a word 2 their pop too as he was doing mega baby talk, and setting them back because of it. hope this helps u and if not feel free 2 message again xxx good luck with your twins its a long hard road .... n an ehausting one at that! good luck and lots of luv from my family of double trouble to yours xxxx

My children are almost 4 and they are still having a horrible time with twin talk. Not that it's hard they just can not get out of it. It makes my daughter Katelyn sound like a 2 year old. Do you have any advice on how I can ease her out of it? Her sister Lilly really sounds more around her age.
