Woah! 1 year of being a twin mom

For twin moms, 1 year marks not only their twins' birthday but also their freedom (and memory) of their twin pregnancy and caring for twin infants.

1 year of freedom from that twin giagantous belly!, 1 year of no sleep I can now sleep at least 4 straight hours.  1 year of freedom from back pain, 1 year of freedom from fearful thoughts of a complicated twin labor or babies well-being.

Until now, I am breastfeeding Dashielle but Callista has stopped at 6 months.  I was too stressed that time that Callie runs out of milk.  My breasts felt like crazy milk factory during those months but great thing I was able to breastfeed both! literally, tandem breasfteeding!

I think, being blessed with twins simply mean one thing - twin moms (and dads) can handle it!

Now, they are all over the place.  Callista started walking 2 weeks after her birthday.  Dashielle is still scooting with her walker.  So, imagine this - Callie walks as if the entire house is hers, and Dashielle wheeling herself everywhere.  Major twin-proofinf the house!

Callie is fascinated with the electric plugs, lamps, electric cords and almost anything that involves pressing buttons.  Not to mention, picking up the tiny bits of whatever she could see on the floor straight to her mouth.  On the other side is Dashie, not yet a walker and balance is not that yet strong.  So, while doing a "plastic man" to stop Callista and shouting "Calliiiiieeee, stoppp!", all at the same time grabbing Dashie on your hand preventing her to fall flat on her face.  Add another 6 year old in the background asking never-ending questions about the stars, moons and whatever he can think of asking.

In a nutshell, twin moms are multi-tasker.  My eyes feels like Cookie Monster eyes!

I love being a mom!  Everyday is a blessed day! :D I am excited for the grand celebration soon! :D
