When I was expecting twins, I received a barrage of unsolicited advice and comments. “You’ll need a full-time nanny!” “Having two is like having four!” “Thank goodness it’s you and not me!” “They’ll probably spend time in the NICU.” “Make sure to sleep as much as you can now; once they arrive, sleep will be a distant memory.” “This will be a big adjustment for your daughter.”
While I appreciate honesty, what I truly wanted during my pregnancy wasn’t a reality check or someone else’s worries—it was a bit of fantasy. I didn’t need to hear all the daunting details; I longed for someone to reassure me that everything would be alright.
I often think back to that anxious and uncertain time, wishing I could have told myself, “You’re going to be just fine. More than fine.” Because, in hindsight, it truly was. The moment my boys arrived, my heart expanded in ways I never imagined possible.
Yes, there are tough days—days when I feel overwhelmed, outnumbered, and my hidden chocolate stash is obliterated. There are moments when my patience runs thin, and my sanity hangs by a thread, at which point I might find myself shedding tears. But through it all, I realize that I was destined to have twins.
A Wise Encounter
One day in the hospital waiting room, I met a wise man whose daughter was about to give birth. He remarked, pointing at my pregnant belly, “They choose you, you know. In Heaven, they decide who their parents will be. Your children’s souls have chosen you.” I felt a sense of purpose in his words. My husband and I were chosen, just like our daughter was—and so are you.
The Joy of Twin Parenthood
Life with twins is filled with an abundance of joy: more cuddles, more laughter, and more love. For all the mamas expecting twins or already navigating this journey, remember: you were meant to have two, and they were meant to be with you.
