Getting Easier

I am almost three months into motherhood of two and am happy to report that things are starting to get easier.  I'm getting better at getting us all out the door and taking them places is seeming less overwhelming.  Today we met some friends at Willow Bend to play and I didn't bother with my monster double stroller.  Instead, I just had Christopher walk with me and it wasn't so bad.  We even snuck into a couple of stores while we were there and he cooperated nicely.  


The flip side to this coin is that my brain doesn't seem to be functioning in the same way it used to.  Some people refer to this as "pregnancy brain" but for me it seems to be more of a "mommy brain" syndrome.  As I mentioned above we met some friends to play today.  I was so proud of myself because we were actually going to be early to meet them.  Right before I loaded the kids in the car, I ran up to double check my e-mail that today was the day we had planned to meet (I've been mixed up on my days ever since returning from CA).  I was right about the day but wrong on the time.  We were supposed to meet at 10 and I was planning on meeting at 10:30!!  Since it was literally like 2 minutes before 10 when I checked the e-mail, clearly we were going to be late.  

So is life really getting easier?  Maybe not...

I can honestly say that the brain thing doesn't get a whole lot better. But with a little effort, you will keep up! That is what the wonderful calendar in your phone is for - it is my lifeline!

I can't ever remember who makes it but I think it is called the Tandem Options. It is nice but VERY heavy!! I really mostly use it around the neighborhood so I don't have to fold it up and put it in my car. You might want it for the twins but I bet there is a better one out there for everyday use...
