Everyone in the entire world seem to be tons more excited than I am about having twins. See the secret is, when I was fourteen and staying with my aunt Bev, I shared with my cousin, Kashan, that I always wanted to have twins, well after a couple of years I forgot everything about that. Until, I gave birth, the memory hit me like a Mack Truck.
There's a fascination that can't be explained, some people ask pointed question when they realise that Angelique and GJ are in fact twins, others just stare. Once in PriceSmart, this lady gave me a crazy look [ I say crazy cause she must have been to be looking at me sideways], when she realised I was the one who gave birth to my handsome husband's two kids.
Here's what I've noticed for myself since having twins, they cry, eat, sleep and shit, just like REGULAR babies, only it's two cries and two feedings, two diaper changes, two babies to rock till the fuss dies down, two noses to wipe, two tummies to un-gripe, two babies to burp........you get where I'm going. Oh wait it gets a tad more annoying, Angelique, when fighting her sleep, can't doze peacefully until she's "touching" some part of her brother and vice versa. So if either is sleeping and the other decides they want some attention, woe be unto the parent on duty! I KNOW they talk to each other through Telepathy and read each others thoughts...cause there's NO WAY, I can just pick Angelique up to feed her and it's QUIET, and GJ just jumps up out of his sleep and starts to stare right at me. IS ANGELIQUE WAKE HIM...probably taunting him like, "a bay mommy pick me up and ya sleep" SMH.
Makes no sense. UP SIDE: I have now, not one but THREE kids to hug me, three kids to kiss, three kids to tell me they love me, two to throw up in the air, while I giggle at their peals of laughter [two, cause me no mad enough fe throw Shylah NOwhere] and three beautiful kids to call my own.


indeed blessed....when i grow up i hope to have the mind set u have towards ur babies...u give wanna be mamas (me) hope.
