Spring is Sprung…

Posted by CountryMunchkin on 14/03/201425/11/2015

Loving the daffodils coming sneaking up through the dirt this week. Signs that the seasons are shifting. Little vases and quirky jars of flowers, hand-picked from my own garden is one of the ways I really really know it’s Spring…

Snapshot

The last known photo of the natural phenomenon that is the twin bump. This was taken just hours before the boys were born. I’m sure my pants and thighs and wobbly bits are all wrong. But I don’t really care. This was over 11lbs of baby boy, plus two placentas. This was the human body doing extreme - and extremely cool - stuff. This was exactly 36 weeks worth of baby, grown twice over. This time last year, my waters had broken. I was in my bedroom, sun streaming through the window, listening to Elsa playing with her chickens outside and packing my hospital bag. I was so filled with hope and excitement. So amazed about what lay ahead of us. From three to five - we would take that leap in less than a day’s time. To look back now, I know that I didn’t really understand at all what was coming, the toll it would take, the challenges we would face, the mountains we have had to climb. But I wouldn’t change this moment for the world. Hope and anticipation is a really beautiful thing - and in some of my darker moments I have always remembered the happiness and expectation that surrounded us when these boys entered the world. And I’m so happy I took this photo to remind me of all that. #twinpregnancy #twins #pregnantwithtwins #twinbump #twinmama #twinmummy #motheroftwins #growingbabies #twinsbirthday #babyboys #boytwins #expectantmother

Still a totally changed man. Happy, confident, playful, inquisitive - and rocking the epic bedhair and a pair of his sister’s hand-me-down bunny harem pants. It’s lovely to feel the knot of stress about him unwind itself and start to really enjoy all the things that make him who he is. Like this little face. #felix #newbaby #craniobaby #craniosacraltherapy #craniosacral #alternativetherapy #twin #twinboy #12monthsold #blondie #blondebaby #babyboy

Chilli dog....it is rather concerning that he already knows how to look at you in that special way that makes you forget all the mischief...his teenage years are going to be something else....(awesome chilli trousers @marksandspencer) #monty #lookintomyeyes #twinboy #12monthsold #mischiefmaker #babyboy #dressingboys

Two boys. When I was pregnant, and we didn’t know what we were having, I always said that I would be happy with anything, but that probably my worst case scenario was two boys. I really don’t know what that was based on, but, truthfully, it was what I thought. But, you see, I didn’t know. I didn’t know what it meant to be a Mummy to boys. The way they look at you. They way you look at them. The mischief, the joy, the intrepid climbing, the constant eating, the whole body cuddles, the rough and the tumble, the whole heart-bursting, big kissing, hair ruffling, all-consuming muddle and puddle of love and need and soul that is having boys. I didn’t know. But now I do. And if I HAD known, I would have wished for them with all of my heart. #mothertoboys #motheroftwins #twinboys #twins #twinstagram #twinsofinstagram #twinbrothers #babybrothers #twinmama #babyboys #twinmummy #motherofboys

Feeling really strange sitting here at my computer and looking through photos from this time last year. When my bump was so big it was the perfect rest for a mug of coffee - and yet I still had no idea who was hiding inside. I was days off having the boys, and those little button noses, the big blue eyes, the scrunchy faces were still a secret waiting to reveal themselves. The days before you have a baby - or babies in my case - are always a bit strange, a wobbly, uncertain limbo. And for us, expecting twins, it was even more so. No idea at all what to expect. And possibly, it’s better that way.... #waiting #expectantmum #pregnant #pregnantwithtwins #twinpregnancy #twinboys #motheroftwins #waitinggame

My little banana face. Behold, the wonder that is a little boy who can demolish a banana in seven short seconds. And he’s not even one yet. #felix #bananababy #foodie #weaning #babyledweaning #fruity #bananas
