Things will be fine. Life will throw things at you. HARD things, things you don't think you'll get through. You will cry. You will laugh, you will want to scream. Through it all? You will have those BEUTIFUL GIFTS to wrap your arms around and hug and love. I have greatly enjoyed reading your blog! I look forward to reading more about your adventures once those sweet babies are here. You always put a smile on my face!

Both usless and fantastical- like unicorns- will never happen. <br /><br />I can also say with absolute certainty, once those babies arrive, you'll see that all those worries will also seem a bit unicornish. They'll be like silly fairy tales in your memory. Of course there will be all sorts of new worries- the perks of being a parent I suppose- but once those babies arrive everything will fall into place, and you'll see those things with a whole new perspective. <br /><br />I told my husband 7 years ago, that if we keep waiting till we're "ready", we'll never have children. I truly believe no one is ever "ready" for that kind of thing. No amount of preparation can make up for the kind of skills learned by doing- on the fly- when it comes to children. <br /><br />Listen to me, sounding all wise-ish and stuff. You'd think I'd been doin this since the little house on the prairy days. Haha<br /><br />Just breathe darlin.

Anybody that is ready for the pictures to stop, then they should move on to the next blog. Now, as for the babies, you will figure it all as you go. That is a fact. From the moment they are born, you will find yourself watching others with the babies, and NOBODY is going to do anything the right way...in your eyes. Feeding, bathing, burping, diapering, etc. My kids are 9 and 13, and I am still figuring it out, and let me just say, a 13 year old boy...it is hard to figure out. They are such buttholes sometimes (most of the time) and 9 year old girls...umm, that is a blog post in itself. <br />I can not wait to follow you along this journey (because I am positive that you will somehow find the time to still post) and I know that yall will be great parents! tattooedtrailertrashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663810483802107177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328811393022080798.post-57204952011148594382012-12-11T09:43:38.854-06:002012-12-11T09:43:38.854-06:00I love the bump pictures!!

When my son came 5 weeks early-on the night I was supposed to start Lamaze classes--I had nothing-no crib, no clothes(shower was coming up in 2 days!), no strollers and so forth--all I had was diapers, and not disposable as they hadn't been invented yet!! My poor son slept in my neighbor's kids doll cradle, and clothes can be bought really quickly when people want an excuse to see you and the new baby!! Those first few weeks I slept with him in my bed most nights-and never fell asleep on him-I was too busy looking at him!! His toes and fingers fascinated me, his leg and arm rolls had to be kissed, and his crazy hair was the softest thing I had ever felt! No, I am not worried, not one bit, because you have the only thing those babies really need-LOVE!

You dont need a whole bunch of clothes either. Bet you for the first 2 months they are sleeping in your bed or in a bassinet very close by anyway so what is the need for a nursery at that point? Also the best piece of advice I EVER got as a new mom was don't go buy a ginormous amount of clothing at one stage. Like newborn or 0-3m, they grow so fast they barely stay in them. My sponsor told me when my son was born to just get a few cute outfits that you really like and then just buy a bunch of white onsies and sleepers for around the house because they are MUCH easier to clean spit up out of. I tend to agree nowadays after 2 more but it still doesn't stop me from buying some adorable baby clothes sometimes :). I can't wait to meet Hall&Oates and I bet you they will the cutest biggest smilers ever just like their momma!GothMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186591063419379847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328811393022080798.post-75101601787909527822012-12-10T17:03:05.848-06:002012-12-10T17:03:05.848-06:00I had to giggle when you said you weren't read...I had to giggle when you said you weren't ready because that is usually a sure sign you are way more ready than you think.

I have 5 big sproglets 2 of which have produced baby sproglets of their own...however many "mistakes" you make, you learn from them and go on from there. Your whole attitude is one of wonderful life, lets enjoy it together. Fantastic. Just carry on doing what you're doing, but slow down to enjoy it more, OK? Those babies will be here before you know it, and then you'll be freaking out, what did I do with my time before Hall and Oates got here??? I know i did, and sometimes still do but now in reverse as they have all left home. Yeah I miss them. But they come back.
