I guess I’m considered a “young mom” still (I hope) . I’m 25 , my husband and I tried for 4 years to get pregnant . After rounds of IVF we were blessed with twins . Sure I was beyond happy, but nervous ? Yes! I already felt guilt about how I could cherish my time and split my time equally among my children. Sadly everyone who talked to me basically sounded like they hated being a parent . I heard “just wait”, “you’ll have your hands full”. We also got told multiple times to kiss away our love for traveling . If you’re reading this and you are in my position , please don’t worry. If having kids was a choice you made and knew you were ready for , there is nothing better. I’m convinced the people who hate parenthood or have a hard time never wanted kids , don’t have a supportive partner , or their child might struggle with colic or maybe they have medical conditions (which then I understand because being a parent and seeing your child in pain or understanding they will be different IS HARD). If you are blessed enough to have a healthy child please never take that for granted . Don’t worry you’ll still be able to do your hobbies . It might be less frequent than you want , it might include two extra little feet or in my case 4 extra little feet . However if this is something you’ve been wanting or dreaming for you won’t mind . The months are flying by for me . My small little NICU babies are now trying to crawl and holding their heads up. Nights can feel long but you don’t even realize how fast those periods of hard nights go by. If you’re reading this and having twins some must have items will be listed down below 😊

*Dr Brown formula pitcher (or any formula pitcher. Right now we are going through two pitchers a day . Formula is good in them for 24 hours if kept in the fridge . It’s easy to just pour it right in and stick it in the warmer.

*halo twin bassinet . My girls still are using this . It is height adjustable so it can hang over your bed or at the height of your bed . It swivels which is really nice in the middle of the night and the twin on the opposite side is crying . It vibrates and can play music . Has storage for diapers and wipes on the side

* TONS OF DIAPERS . We feed every 3 hours except through the night . We change everytime we feed . We are going through 16 diapers a day and that’s not including if they poop in between feeds because I change immediately after a poop.

* owlet dream socks . This has been a LIFE SAVER for my mental health and sleep. It’s never once gave a false reading . It knows if they wiggled it off instead of reading as there o even dropping . They wear it every night to bed and I can have two accounts for the twins on one app. My husband also has it connected to his phone

* UPPA baby stroller with the bassinets . Just trust me and get it 💛
