Double The Trouble Or Twice As Nice?

I love love LOVE my girls. More than I ever even thought possible. Ever since I found out I was going to have two I was very excited but nervous too. Financially I was scared to death. We go through one can of formula a day! And of course the matching(or similar)clothes, which aren't a must but...they are twins! Then there was my fear I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Even though this has all subsided people's reactions to twins still stays with me. When people would find out I was having twins I got alot of ''double the trouble'' or ''twice as nice''. The double the trouble group were usually very apologetic. Funny having people apoligizing for what your ovaries have done. Most stated I could never do it. This makes me laugh. Short of deciding which one to keep and putting the other up for adoption I bet they'd figure it out. Sink or swim. My twice as nice group would get very excited! Bobby and I always talked about wanting twins before, but it still caught me off guard how many people told me they wanted twins too. Probably because I got such mixed feedback. But with pregnancy behind me now I get this reaction, ''Twins? Double the trouble or twice as nice?''. Most days I'll tell you twice as nice. They are a handful but they are just such a blast! We do have days where I secretly think to myself double the trouble today at least.I've got to say it has mostly been here lately though. Teething is by far the hardest part so far. My poor sweet babies have been lil' grouches. They refuse to nap(this is not because of lack of trying by any means...blah=P) but still get so tired. They wake up randomly in the night. They are now aware when I hold one but not the other. When they are tired they follow me crawling while they cry(it's actually sorta cute). If one wakes up she believes her sister should be awake too. But none of this even comes close to their twice as nice qualities. I love waking up to two babbling, smiling, laughing, singing girls. It's way better than my morning coffee. Hearing them say ma-ma or calling for da-da all day makes my day. Watching them learn new stuff together. They really feed off of each other. My heart melts when they hold hands or kiss. To see their faces lite up when I bring her sister into the room is amazing. Watching them play with toys together(most of the time steal them from each other)is one of my favorite things to do. They are the only people who think I am THE funniest person in the world. I love how not only can we tell them apart but we know who is crying or laughing by listening to them. I was afraid I would go down in history as the only twin mom not to pick that trick up. ''There's two to kiss, there's two to hug, but best of all there's two to love'' which hangs in their room as a reminder pretty much sums it up. These are some of the many things I adore about my mostly twice as nice, occasionally double the trouble, beautiful baby girls. The last seven months have been fantastic!
