Waiting for Smiles to Return: A Twin Mom Reflection

When are you most happy?

I’m most happy now when my two babies are both smiling or giggling and truly content.

I’m longing for that feeling again right now because we’ve hit our first sickness in the house. We aren’t totally sure what it is, but of course our little Kane got it first. That always seems to be how it goes. You can read more about that pattern in this post here.

I’ve been dreading this stage. We can clean everything, ask everyone to wash their hands, remind people not to kiss the babies, do all the things we’re supposed to do. But we can’t control everything. And it feels even harder when there are two babies to look after instead of one.

So it happened.

Right now Kane is full of sniffles, snot, and a small fever. Dean doesn’t seem far behind him. My husband and I are also feeling a little under the weather.

I know I’ll be happy again when my boys feel better. For now, I’m here comforting them, soaking up the quiet moments, and waiting this out with them.
