How life changes... 12:01 - Jan 14 with 746 viewsRobTheMonk

Madge and I are expecting twin girls in May!

We had our ultrasound yesterday and everything looks okay so far (touch wood). They're in their own seperate sacks so non-identical and the best type of twins to have from a medical standpoint.

If you asked me 10 years ago if I would be having twin girls I'd have laughed as I spent most of my 20's playing football and drinking too much at the weekends. Then I met Madge and life changed...

I didn't know how I was going to react, but I'm genuinely excited. One of my best mates has a wonderful 4 year old girl, so I'll be asking him for tips. We're already joking about us being over-protective Dad's when they get older.

It's going to be utterly mental!

On the flipside, my Mum is nearly halfway through chemo and struggling mentally with it all. The baby news seems to have given her a boost which was lovely to see. She should hopefully be done at the end of March.

I'm making sure I get all my sleep in now!

Congratulations chap, I have two boys (3 and 5). Your life will completely change - you’re bound to get plenty of tips from all around.

If I could be bold and offer you one - basically do your bit. Wake up during the night to help with the feeding (obviously if your partner is breast-feeding than you won’t be able to do this). Change nappies, tidy-up etc etc. Just do your bit.

Once again congratulations.

Good luck with the twin thing! In my opinion bringing up kids and helping lay solid foundations is the most important thing we get to do (if lucky enough). Every single moment you put into them will come back a thousand fold. Enjoy it.

Apart from bath time and having the audacity to tell them that they have to brush their teeth…f***ing nightmare.

Congratulations!

I can understand why fathers enjoy spending time with their sons and possibly sharing a few more leisure activities and common experiences.

But there’s just as much to be said for having daughters – they’re constantly a surprise and give a completely different perspective. And it doesn’t take long before you can start seeing the world a bit clearer through their eyes.

Oh and, in my experience anyway, the common belief that girls are easier to deal with when they’re younger but wait until they’re teenagers (!!!) hasn’t happened at all. They’ve been a joy throughout and at 19 and 16, I don’t really feel the need to protect them. In fact, I’m more concerned for the boys they meet than for them!
