Going out with twins presents its challenges, but being the parents of twins makes us bracer than most, I think. I actually started taking my girls out pretty young and got used to it fairly quickly my husband, well that’s another story. I remember one day we went shopping as a family. We packed everyone into to the minivan, oldest Danae (10 year old) the twins, Kylie and Ariana (about 6 or maybe 7 months), Husband and me. We decided to go to one of the bigger malls where we could get more shopping done, we thought. While there of course we got all the usual questions, “are they twins?”, “are they yours?”, “a boy and a girl?”, (mind you the girls were dressed from head to toe in pink as they almost always are and had cute pink bows on). My husband loved the attention, and was “pipmping” the twin thing.

So we enter Old Navy, a clothing store, we decide to split up, my husband goes look at men clothing, taking the Kylie and Ariana with him, and Danae and I look at the girlie stuff. It was nice to be able to “look” at the clothes and not get stopped by 5,000 people for once. We meet up at the cash register and I proceed to make the line to pay for our stuff. As I am at the register and the cashier is ringing up our selections, my husband is standing a few feet from where I am with the three girls looking at some sandals for Danae. A woman approaches him and the stroller and begins to comment on how beautiful the girls are and so on. I am watching as the cashier is riming up our purchase.

I keep looking over to my husband and the girls and this stranger that going ga-ga over my girls. Can you guess what I saw? This woman starts to get closer to the girls. She raises her right hand. And begins to reach for my babies. Can you believe this woman? Well being that it was RSV season I was not about to let that woman touch my babies. So I turn and head right for her and leave my purse and wallet and everything at the register. I run towards her and I slap the woman’s hand right before she touches my baby. Yes I did it. I know, mean, but in my defense I was still hormonal and it was RSV season and I was very scared. Boy did I get an earful from that woman, along with some applause from other moms at the store. My husband was mortified, and vowed he would never go out with me again. I did apologize to the woman and explained that they are preemies and it was RSV season and that she really should not touch babies because RSV can actually kill them.

As she huffed away I went back to the register and paid for my items, my husband waited outside, and I walked out of that store with my stroller and everyone staring at me. Oh well, that’s life with twins.

i thought i was prepared to be a mother. i mean i had TONS of experience with children and absolutely LOVED kids. i thought it just couldn't get any better than if they were mine...that's all i was missing was being the "mommy." well, i was right in a way. i have no problem taking care of my babies or playing with them or anything. that i was ready for. what i wasn't prepared for was the lack of sleep. and in the case of twins, the EXTREME lack of sleep.

its not so bad on nights when my husband is home with me, but when he works nights, i'm basically a single parent for 3-4 days at a time. and i make it through those nights fine, but the first couple of nights he's home again are REALLY difficult because i don't want to get up with the girls. i just want him to do it.

so it was on one of these nights that it happened. he had just got off a 4 night stretch and we had gone to sleep a couple of hours ago when Devonne woke up. the monitor is on my side of the bed, on my nightstand, and i picked it up when i heard the crying (i was still asleep mind you, so this is what my husband tells me happened). apparrently he looked at me and asked if i was going to go get her or if i wanted him to, and i told him i had it covered.

now when i have him bring me a baby, i'll just lay on my side and BF while i'm sleeping and she goes back to sleep. well apparrently i thought my husband had brought me a baby or something, in the form of a baby monitor, because i rolled on my side, took my breast out, and began trying to get the monitor to latch on! My husband says he didn't even say anything, just got up and got me a baby to feed.

Now, looking back, it makes sense what i would have been thinking: when babies cry and you feed them, they stop, right? well, the baby monitor was crying, so i tried to feed it because i wanted it to stop. apparently it doesn't work the same way :para :lol

needless to say, sleep deprivation can lead to mild cases of delirium in some cases! :lmao

This is a short but funny one. My mother and I decided to brave the world and took my 3 month old twins and 2yr old son Sam to Olive Garden for lunch. We got there and were seated looking at the menu, I had a baby on each side of me and Sam was by my mother. A male waiter came over to ask us what we would have to drink. At that time Sam turned toward the waiter and said "The babies don't want anything, they eat the nipple"!!!!!! I was mortified and must of turned 3 shades of red, while my mom was cracking up.

Ok, my girls are older now but when they were toddlers we bought almost all matching clothes. At a very young age they decided to pick their own clothes for the day and it was rarely the same thing. We were at a car show that we camp out for every year and the girls were about 2 1/2 yrs old. Me and my girlfriend took them for a walk around the grounds and we were chatting along the way. One of the things we talked about was SHOUT it OUT wipes....and how I loved them! I kept them in our diaper bag, or my purse and how they were terrific to get out stains right when they happen. Anyway, we decided to treat the girls to ice cream cones. Mallory got chocolate and got it ALL OVER her adorable little pink and white striped outfit with the ladybugs all over it. My friend was very upset and I said not to worry, we will go back to the trailers and change. So we walk back to the camp ground and I take Mallory in the trailer. Mallory sees the identical outfit in the suitcase (that I had packed for Skyler) and asks if she could wear the clean one. I said sure! I change her and go back to meet my friend. She takes one look at Mallory and shrieks, "OMG DID SHOUT WIPES GET THAT ALL OUT????"

I peed my pants laughing and said, "You think about it....have a beer and think about it"

That evening at dinner she came running over and said, "Did you have another outfit?" If not I'm buying a ton of stock in Shout Wipes!"

It was so funny and a story that could only happen because "I Got Twinz"!!!
