Nobody Told Me I Was Having Twins

Almost 8 years ago when I found out I was pregnant I was thrilled...scared to death, yes...but thrilled all the same.  I knew right away I was having a boy, there was no doubt in my mind.  After a very long 9 months I realized....my boy wasn't just any boy....he was an identical twin!

They both had big round heads, and the most beautiful big brown eyes that you have ever seen.  Their eyelashes go for miles and their curly lips are always smiling.  Little round noses, big fat feet and turtle hands...everything is the same and I do mean everything!

Together they grow, aging too fast....

They have the same walk, more like a saunter really and they are both very loud with no concept of an "indoor voice".  Their laughs are contagious and so is their happiness.  The two of them are the most optimistic boys I've ever known.  I can't wait to come home everyday from work and have them both run to greet me at the door and tell me all about their day.

They both love music; listening to it, playing instruments, singing and making up very silly words to very silly songs.  They both love to ride dirt bikes and do anything dangerous...no matter what Mom says.  I love watching them enjoy life to the fullest and much to my chagrin I spend an awful lot of time dealing with baths and applying the necessary bandages.

They are both clumsy and messy and horribly forgetful but they will always help me if I ask.  The best thing is that in the past 8 years they have never missed a goodnight cuddle or a good morning hug. 

As much as it may be difficult for a woman to have twin boys, I wouldn't change it for the world.  My boys really are my world and I would not take back a single moment, not even the broken window, the stained carpets nor the fact that I can no longer jump on a trampoline!  (Ignore that one male readers!)

My boys make me the luckiest girl in the world and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life loving them.
