Getting our Life Back

I know that sounds bad.   I know after having gone through infertility that sounds bad.  But having multiples was HARD.   We pretty much didn't go anywhere, do our "normal" things for close to 2 years after having them.   We used to go up North all the time but haven't done that since we would need to bring 2 pack n plays, 2 of this and that etc.... To us it was just so much work to take them places.   They also had a really REALLY whiny stage where they would be wrapped around my legs constantly , where I thought I would loose my mind.      The only  "me" time I felt I had was when I could shower...even then I could hear them crying outside the door while my hubby tried to play with them.   So...it was hard.  Harder than I thought it would be.   There were days I felt "trapped".  I missed the things people normally got to do.   Just being honest.

 

 As of a couple weeks ago we have started doing our "normal" things.   We went to the beach with all the kids.  The girls LOVED it and I loved it!   I told my husband it feels SO GOOD  to do this stuff again.  For it to be easier and fun.

We have gone to the zoo a lot this year, we go to a Children's Play Gallery that the girls LOVE...Matt and I can sit and talk and watch them play...its enjoyable!  We went to a family party and the girls didn't cling to me for dear life and cry if any one talked to them....it was fun!  Last weekend we went to a park where they were having a Heritage Festival.  They were shooting cannons and guns which the girls didn't mind at all.  We grilled out hot dogs and played on the playground, the girls even skipped naps and did great.  It was so good for my soul!!
