You know you are a parent of multiples if...

  • You purchased a costco membership, but can't seem to find the time to go
  • When you do go, you realize you can't fit much of anything with your caravan of babies
  • Your family blog is overtaken with baby photos and stories
  • Your household joy is much greater than the sum of all it's parts
  • The strollers in your garage occupy the space of an entire car
  • From another room, you can tell which baby is crying and for what reason
  • Babies are rearranged to dodge drool pools rather than changing crib sheets
  • Your family members pause and have second thoughts when seeing your number on the caller id
  • You appreciate mail-in movie rentals more than anyone you know
  • Date night = Outback Steakhouse takeout
  • You can't write a 15 minute blog without having to tend to a baby (seriously happened just now)
  • You've taken approximately 2200 photos in the first 6 months of your babies' lives
  • Your contraceptive and fertility methods are now public documents
  • You still aren't satisfied with you rehearsed response regarding fertility drugs
  • You've learned the art of politely dodging a conversation in public places
  • At one point, you've had a bottle in every room of your house
  • You can change a diaper with nothing but moon light
  • Your shoulders are sore for 3 days after carrying car seats into church
  • You occasionally lose track of how many scoops you've poured into a bottle
  • You can clean the kitchen while feeding a baby
  • You can write a blog post while feeding three babies
  • The subject of college funds makes you instinctively laugh (and throw up a little bit in your mouth)
OK, I know you're out there. I know you have friends with multiples. And I know you have funnier comments then this. Bring them on! Oh, and just to capitalize on this link bait, check out my companies new web site: http://www.oregonwebteam.com.
