We used the chart for the first few weeks until we got comfortable with our system because my Mommy brain was pretty foggy from lack of sleep, lol.

My DIL is expecting twin boys in Nov.--probably October. She had practice with a delightful, charming, good-natured girl (2.5 yrs old when the boys come). I'm almost sure the boys will be different, or at least one of them will be. It will be interesting to see how all 3 turn out. Back to your original question: if I didn't go with the flow, I'd be a basket case--not just with my writing but my home life, too. I do like your idea of eating & pooping charts for the twins. "Mommy brain" isn't that reliable.

My mom had two sets of twins, poor woman and multiple pregnancies are sprinkled around my family.<br />You captured very nicely the frustration of birthing a premature novel. Thinking its mewling and gurgling were all you could scrape together in one book, only to find after rewriting numerous times, they can truly grow and mature.<br />Your babies are beautiful! I've always wanted a twin sister, though I wore all the clothes of the four that still claim me as related!

I had one daughter, which was enough to turn me into a zombie for about four years...until she finally decided regular sleep was a good thing. I never thought I was a control freak, but it was hard giving up complete control of my life for a squalling little thing. But so worth it!! She's 22 now, and one of my favorite people in the world. Kids make you realize that control is just a delusion. :) Fun post, Maureen!CJ Burrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137817042365817799noreply@blogger.com
