I find it almost impossible to image what our lives will be like in a few short weeks after the twins are born. As I sit typing to the unrelenting sounds of an overly-tired 3-year-old crying "Daddy, Daaady, Daddieeeee," I imagine it will be much the same - only louder and with less ascertainable demands for assistance coming at us in stereo.
As much as I want to bottle some of the quiet that will settle over our house in a few minutes so I can break it out again for a moment or two in the coming weeks, I also know that I'll soon wish I could bottle the smell of those two little bundles after their baths and the peaceful feeling that only comes from having a baby fall asleep in your arms.
There will no doubt be chaos in the form of sleepness nights and endless feedings, but in the scheme of things, those moments will be fleeting. We will then be blessed with years filled with giggles, hugs, silly dances and love.
So I say...bring on the chaos!

Yes! Bring it on! I for one, am totally psyched to have company in the three kid category.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I need to change my profile name so people don't get confused and think I'm your dad.
ReplyDeleteProbably. I thought it was my dad - and I thought it was pretty advanced of him to be posting a comment - then I read "totally pysched" and I was pretty sure it was't him.
