You know you're a mom of multiples when . . . .
... Zombie is a state of being. Exhausted is a goal. Sleep is a dream!
... You forget that you have more than one baby..... funny back story to this one... (so, once shortly after we were home from the hospital, while is aforementioned zombie state, I forgot for a moment that I had more than one baby. I thought we had an animal or something in the house, as I was in the living room dozing off holding one of the babies.... Nope, it was just another baby... mommy fail!! ;)
... You witness your identical twins run into each other.... and they have matching (but opposite) bumps on the exact same spots of their forehead... (hmmm... maybe because they are within one centimeter of each other's height!)
... You think to yourself about how the twins (in my case) are already 18 months old, and how you should really get started planning their big first birthday bash... (Yep, zombie state again.... love it when the truth hits me.... <face palm!>)
... You are super excited to enter all of your diaper points and then even more excited to see what you can 'buy' with them.... and then it hits you that you've gone through that many packs of diapers in a month!!!!! YIKES!!!
... Anyone who ever complains to you about being tired had better duck.... (I literally have to bite my tongue when people who don't 'get it' complain about being 'SOOOOO' tired.... I just smile..... HUGE SMILE... HUGE GRITTED TEETH SMILE.... If you say this to me and I just smile at you, please know that at that moment, I am not wishing well on you. :P)
... People expect you to sympathize with your spouse when your spouse is on midnights, but is able to be out of the house to ensure he has a quite space to sleep after work..... (Hahahaha, honey, this one comes from someone at your work yesterday. He looked shocked when I didn't show sympathy to you being tired... Seriously???? Um, I'm up a lot of the night, EVERY NIGHT! Shift work would be LOVELY!)
This list is a work in progress...
