i thought i’d talk a little bit about life with cate+lucy.
cate left, lucy right
the twin life if you will.
we are having so much fun. i knew it would be fun. i knew it would be nuts. i knew i would be tired.
but i didn’t know how AMAZING it would be.
lucy left, cate right
i also didn’t know how many people stop and comment or point as they encounter us.
i LOVE that part. i’m a total people person and i love when people ask questions about my girls or want to say hi.
it’s funny b/c i know so many people who have twins, but it’s still definitely something that people find really miraculous and crazy when they meet you.
it makes me laugh to listen when we walk by groups of people. oh look! TWINS! or, are there TWO? look there are TWO!!!
hahahaha. it makes me giggle.
we still get plenty of odd comments, but i’ve found the perfect answer.
to the guy that told me he’d “kill himself” if he was me, a big old smile and “why???” totally did the trick. i’ve never seen someone hem and haw so much.
the “why smile” also works for “oh poor you”, etc. it’s genius i tell you.
they are looking SO much more alike as the days pass.
especially since lucy has started losing her hair and cate has gained more fuzz.

they both eat really well, smile lots, are very active,
and sleep through the night.
they both stretch the same way, sneeze at the same time, need to be burped around the same time, laugh the same, etc.
but they are VERY different in some ways.
cate is tenderhearted and a bit of a crybaby. she cries at the drop of a hat about the silliest things.

the funniest part is, she often gets lucy going too. lalalalala, lucy will be just fine and then BOOM cate starts crying,
so lucy gets the “sad face crumble” too and starts bawling.
cate is not much for snuggling, and lucy is a snugglebug.
lucy sleeps longer and harder than cate.
cate’s the squawker, and lucy is more chill.
and clearly??
lucy is the one with the more chub.

hahahahahahah! she’s got thighs for days. and looks like a sumo baby in this picture.
i love fat babies. they=happy babies.
i’m doing great.
having the babies on the exact same schedule really works.
i’ve come to realize that though i feel like i’ve got it all covered, lots of little things get forgotten.
luckily, they are things that aren’t crucial or important.
i laughed yesterday b/c i realized that all my words with friends games had expired. i also realized that i had to water the bouganvillea STAT. texts rarely get returned, and FB messages never ever get returned.
somethings got to go and those are the things that go. i figure if i keep forgetting about them, they can’t be super important.
HA!
so if you are waiting on a FB message return from me, maybe email me. i can’t forget about things if they are sitting right there in my inbox. heehheheh!!
so, simply put,
life is good. and FUN. i’m learning so much about having two babies. it’s such a special blessing!
i hope your monday is beautiful.
xoxo
