I read something the other day that said “your kids don’t need a perfect mom, they need a happy mom” 💥 . . Sometimes I feel bad for pressing play on my workouts when Logann is awake, I feel mom guilt. I question if I’m being selfish taking the time to workout instead of interacting with her. . . But ultimately, I know working out makes me a better, happier, and more patient mom/person. . . Something I’ve maintained through pregnancy and motherhood is that self care is SO important. I want to be the best mother I can be, but I also want to be the best me I can be. And you shouldn’t have to compromise one for the other. So for anyone who ever feels guilty for taking care of themselves, remember taking care of you is part of taking care of your kiddos❤️😊 #momlife #selfcareisneverselfish #girlmom #navigatingpostpartum #breastfedbaby #breastfeedingmomma #postpartumanxiety #postpartumwellness #momstrong

So something new happened this month. I ran into a couple with 2 month old identical twin girls, and I became the "experienced" parent 😆 Without thinking, the words "it gets easier" came out of my mouth. So many people told us this. As a household of two working attorneys, I wasn't sure we would get there. But we did, 11 moths in, and I think we finally hit "easier". The look on this couples face was exhaustion mixed with happiness and fear, and I remembered it well. Seeing their faces made me realize how far we've come. When the couple asked me "when" it gets easier, it struck me. It gets easier when you let go of every expectation you had of how parenting twins was going to be; when you let go of everyone (whether they have twins or not) telling you how it "should" be. If your babies sleep in their rock & play and not their cribs, you haven't failed as a parent. If your babies need to be rocked to sleep, and need a pacifier, you haven't failed as a parent. If your floors are dusty, and you were too tired to make dinner, you haven't failed as a parent. As long as your little family is healthy and happy, you're doing great! The husband whispered "thank you", and the wife told me she was afraid her babies were the only ones not behaving how people said they "should". Seeing this couple made me realize that every bump in the road led us to month 11 which was filled with more belly laughs, babies getting into everything, babies stealing everyone's food, better dance parties, learning to play with our sister, next level tantrums, more sleep (some full nights in our cribs), and world's greatest snuggles. Also, fun fact: if one sister attacks the other at daycare, you get both the aggressor and victim side of the incident report 😳 Sometimes we miss those tiny baby faces, but being the "experienced" twin mom is kinda nice. 💪🏻 The first year ends on 12/7, but I'm sure the lessons will keep coming. Here's to finally finding "easier", may it stick around for a while 🍾🥂 #TwinMomLife #identicaltwins #twins #twinlife
