The other night I found M crying at the season finale of "Kid Nation." She claims she was crying because her hormones are out of whack. I'm not sure if I buy that. She cried all last year on Sunday nights watching "Extreme Home-make Over." Sure, I want a kid with cancer and one leg to get a ramp into his new home. Please. But I can't stand that guy screaming into a bull horn - so freaking annoying.
We didn't get a Christmas tree this year. M is like Martha Stewart-lite. For her to agree that we don't have time to decorate in the over-the top fashion is the real Christmas miracle. SO, I conclude she might really be pregnant and give birth.
Skipping work early today, we met up at Union Square to hit the Babies r Us. Apparently, M has this whole plan with a single stroller, snap and go, car seat, eventual double stroller, one car seat that will remain in our car, and I will baby bjorn one of babies. I have no %#@!$ freaking clue what she was talking about. This stuff is way too complicated. Or, I have no patience to figure it out. I better figure out the concept of patience really quickly. Like 2.5 months quickly.
Above is one of the lions in front of the NY Public Library. I snapped it last weekend when I had no patience and left bryant park early- as it was too crowded with shoppers. I believe his name is Patience. It's either patience or fortitude...one of them.

We finally got a tree tonight. Finally! But this almost became The Year With No tree, which would have made me sad.
Your stroller plan sounds a lot like ours! I did bjorn and snap and go for the longest, to avoid the double stroller hell. It was great. We also had the two-bjorn plan, for when my gf and I both were out with the babies. And now I mainly use the double stroller. Ugh.
Patience and Fortitude should be the Gods of Twin Mothers! We need both to survive!
I think when you are a mother you will have more patience than you ever could have pictured. Just think positive!
Patience is a skill you develop as a parent. No doubt about it. The cool thing is as you get older (and the kids grow) you just keep on improving on this skill. One of the many. Totally use the brain stuff you haven't used too much before. You lose some of the stuff you did have, but you can always get it back (I HOPE!)
