Hey mama of multiples, let's be real for a second. Life with more than one little one at the same time? It's a beautiful, whirlwind of tiny socks, endless feeding cycles, and a level of exhaustion you probably didn't even know existed. In the early days, especially, it can feel like you're just trying to keep everyone (yourself included!) afloat. We talk a lot about strategies and schedules, but today, I wanted to chat about something a little different: those unexpected little pockets of peace that sometimes appear in the middle of the beautiful chaos.
Think about it – that moment when both your babies happen to be dozing at the same time (a true unicorn sighting!), or when you’re feeding one and the other is contentedly watching nearby. Sometimes, in the midst of the diaper changes and burp cloths, you might find yourself in an accidental "simultaneous snuggle" – one baby asleep on your chest, the other nestled in your arms or by your side.
These aren't grand, planned moments of relaxation. They're fleeting, often interrupted, but oh-so-precious. It’s in these tiny instances that we can sometimes find a sliver of calm, a moment to just breathe and soak in the sweetness of your little ones. It might not be a spa day, but it's something. It's a reminder that even amidst the busy-ness, there are these small, tender connections happening all the time.
Maybe it’s the weight of their tiny bodies, the soft sound of their breathing, or just the quiet stillness that descends for a few minutes. Whatever it is, I encourage you to try and notice these moments. Don't feel guilty for just being in them. You don't have to be folding laundry or prepping bottles. Just be present in that snuggle, even if it's just for a minute or two. It can be a little reset button for your soul.
So tell me, what's one of those unexpected, tiny moments of calm you've stumbled upon lately in your journey with your multiples?
