I have never done this sort of thing before, but when I opened my google reader this morning, I saw a post on one of the blogs I read for a link up for "Moms of Multiples". At first I just sighed and closed my computer not even wanting to go and read the post. I went to take a shower and I just kept thinking, I am a mom of multiples dangit!
I don't have both my twins here with me, I don't get to put them in cute matching outfits, I'm not in the groups for moms of multiples, I don't know what it's like to have two babies screaming for attention at the same time...but I wish I did.
I am still a mom of multiples even though the only pictures I have of my boys together are ultrasound pictures. I still gave birth to two babies. Even though when people see me they don't know I had twins because I only have one baby physically with me, I still know I had twins.
Today, I'm going to be a mom of multiples and join in on this little link up. So there you go! I will try and put Fess Up Friday up tomorrow because today I'm being a mom of multiples :)

Born together to grow apart, one in our hands and one in our hearts. I love you both very, very much!
Such a touching post & I'm so glad you did go ahead and link up. Because yes, you are a mom of multiples! My girls are almost 2 & half and were born at 29 weeks. I plan to go back & read more of your boys' story.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely one of us. Can't wait to read more of your families story.
ReplyDeleteMay God Bless your family!! I also plan on reading more of your story.

Absolutely a mom of multiples not just for today but for always! That ultrasound picture of your boys together made my heart fill with His goodness... For they are fearfully and wonderfully made!
ReplyDeleteAre you on the Facebook group for moms if micro multiples? I'm on there and it's great. There are several moms of twins, triplets, and more who have lost one or more of their multiples. Friend me on FB ( Michelle Hensel) and I'll see if I can figure out how to add you if you are interested.
ReplyDeleteYour story touched me deeply as my boys were born at 28 weeks, and while they survived, the fear is still always there. I'm sure I will spend many hours reading your archives. Your strength and courage can be felt through your words. That is what your blog will be, a place to find the courage, faith and inner strength it takes to make it through the passing of a preemie, while still continuing to be an amazing mother. Peace and love to your family :)
ReplyDeleteAlways and forever a multiples mom!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support guys :) I really do appreciate it! I was a little hesitant to hear what people would say, but I'm glad I did!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. We also only have one of our twins with us.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, since I came across your blog I have always thought of you as a mother of twins. I'm glad you found so much support from other moms of multiples.
