Thinking in Two's

It's been a while since we posted so we thought we would give everyone a glimpse of what has been on our minds lately (and is probably on the minds of anyone expecting twins).

Though we are very excited about having twins both Andi and I keep wondering "what are we going to do when we have two of those (e.g. babies). We understand that people have been dealing with two children (or more) at once for years--but for a couple of novices we are going through some interesting mental exercises. For example:

We went to Wal-Mart the other night and there was a cute little boy who got mad at his mother and he let her know it. He was screaming so loud you could hear it on the other side of the store. The mother was very flustered and did what she could to calm him down but he was having none of it. She obviously had to get some shopping done because she kept shopping. My thought out loud was, "Wife, what are you going to do when you have two children that are screaming like that and you need groceries?"

Whenever Andi sees a mother lugging around a car seat or even just trying to entertain her single child she pictures herself doing double. One has to wonder whether anyone has figured out how to change two diapers at once?

And then there are the horror stories of new mothers who haven't showered for a couple of days because of all the new things to learn, along with being completely exausted. Then multiplying the work by two...

Though it might seem that we are nervous that is not really the case. I think we have almost made a game out of trying to figure out how we will accomplish new tasks (x2). It will be an adventure for sure!

By the way September 29th is the day we find out if they are boys/girls or one of each.
