I DID IT, I fucking did it

[Deleted]

I didn't quite have any other choice and it may seem like a little thing to you guys but I just did baths/bed alone.

Without excessive crying or pacifier use.

Both boys are OUT.

Did I mention I did baths too???

I feel like an incredibly competent parent right now. So where's the booze?? lol

[iamgrace]

You are amazing! Seriously! I'm proud of myself when I manage to get just my one kid down, and you did two!

[hbear]

Yay!

Thank you guys for your indulgence!!! I really shouldn't be this into myself after.... y'know.......*parenting* my own kids.

Tamb does she still cry and stuff? The boys hated baths until they were about 2 1/2 months, then they only hated half the baths we gave them, and now they fall asleep OR splash like crazy, lol. The transformation was intense!! When they hated it they HATED it -- it was the "something is eating my face" screams I hated it too.

Ah yeah. Babies are SLIPPERY and wriggly and they should really just recognize how dangerous they're being, lol. But seriously.

Snazzy, it's really only b/c Jake and I handled it mano-a-mano for the past 4 months. But I think these events happen throughout parenthood -- you psych yourself up for them and it ends up to be fine AND you get the added bonus of feeling like a badass.

Helps to balance out the times you think you're a badass ahead of time and the kid(s) throw it in your face lol.

That is awesome Keep trying stuff like this...it'll give you so much confidence. I remember the first time I did it, too...I was so fucking proud.

This is also the longest I've been alone with them so far, so I'm riding a pretty good high. And you're right Em, I need to keep doing these things. I had the opportunity to go to a party this afternoon alone with them but doing that and bed time was going to be too much. Next time I will face it though!!!

[loveday]

Aw, that's great. Well done you!

[emsumm]

You really can do it. I know it is so intimidating (and when I say "it," I mean fucking everything when it comes to handling twins alone), but just jump in. Don't think about it too much, lol. I always tell myself "you can bail." Or, "you can ask for help if you need it, just try." It works. I've never once had to go home or call for backup, and trust, I'm not supermom.
Today I did the one thing I said I could never do alone...I took them in the deep end of the pool by myself (they were in puddle jumpers). It is liberating and exhilarating when you accomplish something by yourself with 2 babies. So many high fives to you <3

lolol.

That is an accomplishment.

I'm tired after feeding both boys, bathing one, and putting E down for the night. I do that three nights a week while H is at work.

I can't imagine how difficult it can be to parent twins.

[Deleted]

LOL cville!!!

[Cayl]

That is not a little thing at all! I still haven't done it, lol. Nice job!

[saraandmichael]

hell yeah!
