Life as a Twin mom… *cheers* To the first year.

Where the hell was I all of 2022?! RAISING BABIES!!!

“ I was home with my kid, mommiana (Mommiana) Real bitch, I don't be with all that drama (Nah) Mindin’ my business, I'm unbothered (I'm unbothered, yeah) “ - or whatever Cardi B said…

Ahh…I can’t believe I’m here. The twins will be ONE in just a short few weeks. Where the hell was I all of 2022?! Words can’t even begin to describe how blessed and thankful I feel for being able to stay home and not having no pressure on when or if I will return back to working a 9-5!! I have seen with my own two eyes every milestone that my little nicu babies conquered and it brings me so much JOY to watch them achieve it all. They are eating solid foods…clapping…waving…smiling..remembering familiar faces.... drinking almond milk… sleeping through the night… talking…screaming….and practically walking now.

Was it as hard as I thought it was going to be? HELL YES… Would I have done some things differently….Absolutely!! Could I have prepared myself any better for this life changing event happening? Nope.. But I knew having twins…still showing my first born the amount of love | attention she needs… taking care of home(chileeee hire a cleaning lady)…still making time to be present in my marriage…and so many other things in life that it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. Now looka herrrreeee…I’m kinda thriving in this mom | wife life.

I think what has helped me the most is constantly reminding myself that I am a human and I deserve grace too. I have to take care of me and my mental wholeheartedly before I can show up for anybody else. Honestly I don’t think I would of been able to push through some days w|o my hubs and him being so hands on and being able to have SIX months paternal leave AND at first I gave him such a hard time about that being tooo long of him being off from work. Lol But I’m so glad he told me to kiss his *ass he was taking his PAID leave because those first three months was truly such a haze.

Anyways… I could go on and on about different things faced in 2022 but we would be reading forever. I know I’m gonna get asked if we are doing anything for their first birthday and we will probably have family and friends over for comfort food…dranksss…. cake and ice cream ofc…but if I can be brutally honest even though it’s their birthday … the celebration is really for hubs and I because WE DID THAT. Judgeeeee ya maaaamaaaaa. lol
