I was recently asked how I’ve found having twins. I decided to sum it up in two blog posts. ‘Challenging’ and ‘Worth it.’

Worth it

It’s worth it when you wake up in the morning to three happy, smiling boys who are excited for the day.

It’s worth it when you get to see family more often because they want to see your children.

It’s worth it when you make lovely mum friends.

It’s worth it when you reconnect with old friends.

It’s worth it when you manage to breastfeed for over a year.

It’s worth it when they pull off the boob and give you a loving, satisfied smile.

It’s worth it when you hear your children giggling with each other.

It’s worth it when your older child is laughing hysterically because of something the babies are doing.

It’s worth it when your older child cuddles you and says “I love you” before you’ve said it to him.

It’s worth it when your older child tells you “you’re hilarious!”

It’s worth it when you’re out and about and make people smile.

It’s worth it when people say they can’t believe how well you’re doing.

It’s worth it when you get all the children to sleep by 7.30 and have a nice, long evening with your partner.

It’s worth it when all three sleep through the night. (We’ve only had this once so far!)

It’s worth it when you manage some nice time together at the weekend.

It’s worth it when you get to the end of the day without getting wound up.

It’s worth it when you feel like you achieved something you didn’t think you would be able to do with all three children.

It’s worth it when you realise how blooming lucky you are to have three happy and healthy boys!

Every day is challenging, but worth it.
