Looking ahead...
Just when I think I have this twin parenting thing somewhat down, I read ahead to other twin parent's posts on various twin boards:
Question: Is anyone else totally exhausted?
Some replies:
"My babes will be 16 mos next week. It's a constant struggle to get diapers and clothes changed, and with the changing pad on the floor now, I'm always crawling after them to wrangle them back. I have one walker, and one serious cruiser, but they love to go in opposite directions, open closed doors, rip down books from the book shelves, tear out the paper (sometimes eat it too), and always throw food. I'm used to the house looking in disarray, but it doesn't mean I like it like that."
"Everyday I clean up, do laundry and everyday it looks like we have been robbed. You do what you can and make time for yourself."
At least the person finished with " My babies and hubby are my shining stars."

I gets so much better, I promise. It got better at three months, it gets better at six months, it gets waaaaaay better around a year. And now (17 months today) I am thrilled they are twins becuase they have started entertaining each other and I can occasionally get things done.
The beginning sucks, no doubt about it. The first three months are hell. But I assure you, it gets really good.
Mine are the same age as Sarah's. It does get better. I'm not prepared to say "easier" ... just different. But, yeah, the whole entertaining each other (and even big brother) is a big plus. It makes me remember that the reason we ended up with twins was because we wanted "a little brother or sister" for the first one. Joke was on us, but it's turning out OK.
