Happy Saturday everyone! I can't believe it has been more than three weeks since I have visited this thread. Reading this thread, I have just figured out why my DW enjoys attending MOTC meetings so much. Everyone needs to vent to someone who truly knows what a parent of twins is going thru. Anyone who says have two children close together is just as hard as twins is "off their rocker".
My wife and I recently attended a memorial service at St Louis Children's Hospital for all the children who died in the hospital during December. We lost our four year old niece to cancer. This was much harder than her funeral. I think it was so hard because this may be the last thing I will ever do for Mallory. One family lost a three day old identical twin boy on Christmas morning, his brother is still NICU. I wanted to go over and say something to the family but for once in my life I couldn't talk. I can't image what it must be like to look at a baby and know you are missing the other half.
I am currently sitting at my desk at the Fire Station having completed 57 of a 72 hour shift, mandatory overtime on my between day. I am really missing my family, espeacially the hugs from my babies. You cant look into the eyes of a two year old and not know some how everything is going to be OK.
so I thought I could get my therapy here. Have any of you nurses ever noticed bad stuff at work runs in threes? During this shift I have intubated three people(two full cardiac arrests and a 23 year old who overdosed).
So much for this nonsence, lets talk twins!
We recently put our Lil' Angels into twin beds. They share a room. While in cribs they never caused a problem at bed time. Bed time was our saving grace. We were able to put the girls to bed and then spend time with our boys,doing homework, watching TV or doing whatever. Now every night is a slumber party. Wednesday night just after midnight I awoke to screams of my Janna yelling Dad, Dad, Daddy. In my blurry vision and stupur I ran to their room wondering what was wrong and why was their light on. Imagine my shock to see my
princesses in their pink footy PJ's wearing Mickey crowns and boas sitting at their table with their dolls having a tea party. Janna looked up and said matter of factly "daddy, we need cookies for party". Life lesson learned, Just because I need to sleep,doesn't mean two and a half year old twins need to sleep now!
Since my last post asking about potty training twin girls I have learned a second very important life lesson, just because Daddy thinks his darling princesses are ready to use the potty DOES NOT mean his princesses think THEY need to use the potty
It only took four days for them to teach me that lesson. I still have 133 days to get the job done before our cruise.
Well, Thanks for letting me ramble. Have a great weekend.
pictures. Here is one of my favorites of my two. They are 8 1/2 years old (and definitely not identical, LOL). 
My mam has a picture of one of the luggage racks being pulled by 2 young attendants and there were 2 more just like it. they were piled high.
Found them sitting out there eating cheerios, giggling and having a great time. 
We also spent a few days in the parks before the cruise.
