Twice the Feels
After getting over the initial shock of twins, I realized that I was probably the most scared that I've ever been. Realistically, how is this going to work?
Seriously, folks, I felt absolutely crazy. One minute I'd be fine, the next I'd be bawling. Twins! How in the hell am I going to manage?
Thankfully, we'd purchased the Expedition and sold my Acura. Obviously that was a good decision. Where will we put the car seats, though? Charleigh in the middle, twins on outboard seats? A stroller...how will I run errands with three children? The only was I see is using a double stroller and put Charleigh and a twin in it, I'll have to wear the other twin.
Our house is too small - we only have three bedrooms. The twins will have to share a room until we build a new house, but will that mess up sleeping schedules/patterns? Where in the world are we going to put all of their things? We need two cribs and two dressers. Yikes!
We don't have a support system here. Yes, we have some amazing friends, but it isn't the same. How am I going to cook dinner? What if I need a break or get sick? When am I going to get anything done? I have a gut feeling we will be hiring some help at some point.
I'm already having a helluva time With morning (all day) sickness and it makes it difficult to function sometimes. What if i end up on bedrest? Who is going to take care of Charleigh? What if this pregnancy is similar to the last one where I had multiple hospital admissions? I can't bring Charleigh along, the hospital isn't place for a one-year old.
Don't get me wrong...I'm so very thankful for this opportunity, but I'm really struggling with the logistics.
