My Take on Multiples Questions

So when you're a parent of multiples you get asked a lot of silly questions. I mean some of them make a little sense but really some of them are kind of duh questions. Here's my personal answers to some of those commonly asked questions:

1. Are your twins identical? Ummmm, I have boy/girl twins so yeah, no they are not. If you need me to pull down the diaper to show the difference I suppose I could do that. And yeah, they are pretty easy to tell apart since they are not identical, they actually look really different.

2. Are they natural? Well, I carried them for 37 weeks in my humongous stomach so it's not like they were born in a dish or anything. Actually this is a question that I don't mind answering that they were conceived with "help" but were not "test-tube" babies.

3. Do twins run in your family? Maybe...a ways off. See above answer for further specifics. My aunt has a set of triplets and we have twins but again, they were all conceived with help.

4. You must really have your hands full? This one could be a valid question I suppose. Being that our first were twins, we really don't know any different. I mean, we're busy but what mom with more than one kid isn't?!

I'm sure there are others but these are the main ones we get asked. Feel free to ask more if you want or throw your two cents in! We love to hear from ya!


Out of Commision

So I have felt totally out of commision for the past couple of weeks. I had always thought that when you became a mommy you were granted these special powers so that you never got sick or tired or whatever but I have since learned that if those powers were granted, I missed out on them! I swear I have been sicker since I had the babies than ever before. Anyways...I have been sick, again. I haven't felt like blogging or talking (well, that was sort of hard since I had no voice anyways) or anything. My mother-in-law reminded me that I hadn't posted anything for awhile so I am tonight. I got sick while Ben was gone and luckily for part of that time the babies and I went and stayed with my parents so my mommy took care of all of us sick kiddos! Thanks a ton mom!
