Why it is Awesome to Have Twins
I have heard it all – “two babies, how do you manage?” and, “Wow, you must be tired all the time.” I have even heard a few more bold statements I won’t mention here. However, as hard as it can be sometimes having twins is amazing and I would not trade for anything in the world.
2 for 1
The pregnancy is twice as hard, but you get two 2 for 1. I was sick with morning sickness for 13 solid weeks and throughout most of the pregnancy I thought my rib cage was going to break, but I’m glad I didn’t have to be pregnant a second time to get my third child.
The Attention
If you’re an extrovert you will love the attention twins get. When they are small, everyone walks by excitedly asking if they are twins. Since people are enthralled with twins you tend to get more help while out and this a great thing when you have to navigate through doors and aisles at stores.
I Love My Husband More than Ever
When you have twins, your husband becomes more like a second mom, than a dad. At 4 AM when you are both semi-awake and the twins are both covered in drool, poop and mild – you suddenly realize – wow, I love this guy more than ever!
The Unique Bond
From the time of birth, I have loved observing the unique bond that my twin girls have. From the first time they smiled at one another to hugging each other at two weeks old, it will melt your heart. Twins will always have each other – a best friend for life! This also helps when it comes to mommy have a few minutes alone. My twins girls tend to entertain themselves rather than looking to me to be their constant source of entertainment.
Double Milestones
There is no question that raising Ella and Rose is a challenge. Also, when you throw a six-year-old in the mix, it is even more challenging. Some days I think I would like running 26.2 miles more than my mommy duties. However, there are countless moments that make it all worthwhile – the smiles, hugs, words, rolls, steps, and the list goes on and on.
Twins are amazing. All the joy and happiness one baby brings you is amplified and something you don’t fully understand until you can experience it yourself!

I would love to have a twin. It means you have a life-time best friend who will be always there for you.
I don’t know if I would have been able to handle it to be honest. Sounds like you’re rocking it, though, mama!
My mom is a twin and when my daughter starts her family, she would love to have twins. I can’t imagine all the extra work but you get twice the joy. Good thing you have a great husband that helps out. Twins are amazing!
So sweet. I can’t imagine having two of my kids. I’d have lost my mind unless one twin was calmer. But two of my daughter? Yikes!
I always wanted twins but it didn’t happen. Friend of mine has twins and she amazes me at how organized and what a wonderful mom she is. Truly an inspiration.
My husband and I were just talking to our friends about this and we all decided that having twins would kick butt! TWO BIRDS = ONE STONE!! However, no parents would ever get a break!
There’s definitely advantages to having two kids at once. My cousin has twins and it’s really neat to see all the different milestones that they go through together.
I have twins! It’s been a wonderful journey thus far. They have this connection, a bond if you will, that amazes me. They’re so alike, yet different.
My best friend has twin girls that were born a few weeks after my youngest. My daughter just turned 12, and hers will follow shortly. I couldn’t imagine going through what she went through when they were babies. Whew. She had no outside help from anyone but her husband, and it was rough. Of course after the infant stage passed, everything was much smoother. The girls are built in best friends!
There are so many great reasons it is awesome to have twins! I know of few people who have had twins and while it is a lot of work to have two babies the same age, I have also been told it’s twice the love.
I was worried about getting twins to be honest. I don’t think I have the energy to handle it. But maybe you’re right, those smiles, hugs. Double the fun!
You are so amazing! I think it would be so scary to have twins! It sounds like you have such a positive outlook and managed to handle it with grace. Such cute babies!
I wish I had twins. Both my parents had siblings who were twins. I thought genetics played a role in it, but sadly, it did not. Having twins is difficult and stressful but you do get to raise two kids at one time. I have a friend who gave birth to triplets, all boys, for her first pregnancy. The second time she got pregnant was with twin girls. Amazing, huh? Two C-sections, 5 kids. Have fun with your twin girls. They are adorable!
I always thought it would be special to have twins. They are so darling all sleeping.
Twins are amazing. My nieces are twins and watching them grow up and become young women had been a sheer delight.
i have always envied those folks with twins! a friend of mine has two sets! how marvelous! my boys are back to back and that was about all i could take!
I could never decide if I would’ve wanted twins. I think I my biggest concern was carrying two in my womb!
Such a cute and lovely twins..It’s really amazing to have a twins, you are blessed to have them.
Oh!You are very lucky to have a twins,like these two cute lovely babies. It’s really fun I’m sure.!
Two of my three brothers are one year apart. My Mom always called them her Irish twins and loved having them that close in age.
I agree on your points! Giving birth with a twin is a win-win. I also want to have twins when I get pregnant in the future too.
These are some great reasons why having twins is totally fabulous. My friend has twins and loves every minute of it!!
