I had my first "holy crap" moment yesterday.
I was down in MA with my mom, and we stopped at BRU. Well, I hadn't started looking for anything for Alex to wear for Thanksgiving yet. They had a cute little display of Thanksgiving themed items, so I grabbed this romper that says, "Thankful for Mommy & Daddy" because you know it's just going to get food all over it anyway and it was only $11.
My mom then asked me what Molly was wearing, and it dawned on me that she'll be almost a week old. So I grabbed the same thing for her in the 0-3 month size. Looking at the two outfits together was really striking for me. I know, it's a weird way to have that epiphany that "hey, I'm going to have two kids in less than three months," but that really just hit home for me.
Yay BRU. Now I'm sweating. ha.

Awww, but they'll look so cute in their matching outfits!
I've been having similar feelings since TTC again but looking at pairs of siblings at the school just makes me feel so much better, like we're doing the right thing, KWIM? But then I have a horrible day with Maddie and can't imagine having to deal with two on days like those
?

I did coordinating outfits with Jakob and Caroline for Easter this year and it was SO FUN! Of course, they will not think so when they look back on the pictures as teenagers, I'm very sure.
This is exactly what I am expecting.
I just was overwhelmed when I looked at the two rompers next to each other. I can visualize Alex in it, and then I looked at the little one and it just blew my mind that the karate champ in my belly right now will be out and will be IN it and real, next to her brother. It's just mindblowing for me right now, because I'm in that surreal state of pregnancy where you're "having a baby" and you feel it moving and everything, but you haven't quite realized that you're having a baby. With Alex, that moment didn't come until he was born and I realized that he really was real. This time, at least, I have a better grasp on it. I know Molly is a real little girl in there, and she's going to come out full of personality and be a tiny little piece of humanity and part of our family...our first daughter. I just feel very fortunate and I hope that I can be as good a mom to two as I feel like I have been to one.
hey from the lady that was never ever ever having kids...
you will be just fine! promise! and it didnt really hit me until i was picking out tonys comming home outfit..... and then at the hospital when i had vinnys diaper and tonys diaper next to each other.....
Ditto what Laura said in her 2nd paragraph above.
It is just amazing seeing the two together! I can't wait to see a pic of them in their matching outfits!
