I'm already failing at this blogging thing...
Keeping up is harder than I expected. There is always something that needs to be at work or home and at least one thing left unfinished at the end of the day. I have ideas of what I would like to write about, but I always get caught up in something else before I sit down at the computer. Hopefully I can stick to my plan of documenting life with my babies

Why start blogging?
I'm not much of a writer (that title goes to my incredibly talented little sister) and I don't have much free time on my hands, so why start blogging? There are few reasons and I hope this post will help me to remember them so I don't give up.
1. Sean and I are very lucky to have our parents close by, but our extended families live in other states. My whole family is based in Rhode Islands and Sean's family is in Florida. I hope to share this with our families so they can watch the twins grow and hear about all the little things that happen.
2. Someone recently asked me what Sean and I did overnight the first few weeks at home and I drew a blank. I honestly couldn't remember how we did things and had to ask Sean about it. I'll blame sleep deprivation and hormones for that one, but I don't want it to happen again. I want this blog to serve as a record that I can look back on when the babies are older.
3. I'm making this blog public in hopes that other new twin moms will see it. I found a few blogs by mothers of multiples when I was pregnant and just reading about their lives and seeing their nurseries got me excited about my little ones arriving. I hope that other twin moms or twin moms-to-be will stumble on this blog and maybe I can be helpful to them in some way.
So here's to hoping that I stick with my new endeavor!

Where it all began
Our lives changed forever on December 24, 2013.
We saw the the pink + sign on the pregnancy test just a few weeks earlier and we were at the OB office waiting to see our baby for the first time. As soon as the doctor had the wand in the right position, Sean and I knew our baby was actually two babies. There was no mistaking the two small black circles, each with a flickering white dot inside. It was the best Christmas gift.
I often get asked if I was shocked or scared to find out we were having twins. I was excited right from the beginning and so was Sean. The shock actually came at the next appointment two weeks later when the doctor briefly thought he saw an third embryo. I held my breath while the doctor took a closer look and determined that it was just shadow. After that brief moment of thinking we were parents of triplets, twins suddenly seemed much easier.
That was the first step of this journey into parenthood and things have been moving at full speed ever since
