I am 29 and had my twin boy/girl on 2/6/2008. I will tell you that you will need some help. I am being honest, because I can tell you have God and faith on your side. There will be times it feels exhausting, especially feeding times (sometimes) and you feel like all you ever do is change diapers. I came on here to look for some advice about 2 year old twins and saw your post. I wanted to praise you for your strength and love for your twins, because what you to go seek all kinds of services for yourself. Go to the DFC and go to your Community Action Program for Daycare assistance, etc... Remember WIC will help you with your formula and you need to think through all your trips before hand since you are going places alone. The grocery store will become tricker. You can't push a stroller and push a cart and your can't put both carseats in your cart cause they there is no where for your food. Plan ahead as much as possible. Seek your church family out. I have four children all together and my other girls have been somewhat of a help, but when people (even some relatives) they hear twins and babysitter in the same sentence they run. It is dread for them. I only got tired of comments by ones that say "Oh, I just don't know how you do it." I just do! You can too. Keep you head on straight, don't give into frustration and always take your deep breaths. And when you do have a "Why me?" question, just remember God gave you these children for a reason and they are a gift no matter how stinky, pukey and grouchy they get. :)

I just have to say I am proud of you for sticking it out. In todays world there is a tendency to quit when things are tough but you are doing all you know to do and I know things will work out if you put your trust in God. With men it is impossible; but to God all things are possible. - Matthew 19:26 I suggest if you don't have a home church to try and find one. I know that this is a tough thing to do, but I also know that there are so many people who care and are good people out there willing to help those who are in need. I am pregnant with boy/girl twins and have 8 kids at home already. People ask me all the time how I can do what I do and my response is Only with Gods help. Though it won't make it easy you will at least know that He is always there. He will never leave or forsake you. Please believe that I am speaking with a heart full of love for you. I don't mean to sound preachy, but I do know the difference in doing it alone and doing it with God by your side. I am so sorry that you family is not supportive but just keep doing the right things and praying with a humble heart to God. I believe the prayers wont go unanswered. You will be in my prayers..please feel free to email if you want to imamaddcow12@yahoo.com I would love to chat and be there if I can for you in any way...

Hi.. I just want you to know that everythings going to be ok, and although many people may tell you that, I want you to keep in mind that through God you can do anything. I am a single mother to an 18 mth old daughter and am expecting twins in january. I have done almost everything on my own and my ex-boyfriend has been in and out of our lives since before my daughter was born. Then in april I got pregnant again of course with him, and in august I found out im having twin boys. I live by myself and I'm atleast 40 miles away from my family. I'm trying to go to school and take care of everything. I just know that it's going to be hard, but I also know that God is on my side. Obviously, he wants me to be a mother. That has to be our purpose to a point you know? I just know that everything is going to be okay and everything will work out day by day, step by step. Keep your head up girl, you have your head on straight and Im glad to hear someone else is as headstrong to take care of their children as I am expecially being young.

You have good a great head on your shoulders. And I know that this is very rough... But you are creating the love and family that you need and want. I was a single mother with my son. It was tough.. But one thing I kept telling myself. Is one day at a time.. One hour at a time.. One minute at a time... That always helped me through... Your babies will love and appreate all your hard work and love. Babies are a gift. They make life sooo much better... *** Hugs***

I'm so proud of you! Your so strong! I'm having twin boys here pretty soon. I'm 30wks with two boys. I'm also a twin. I have a twin brother. Your story inspires me GREATLY! God Bless You! I know I can't do anything without God! I'm married. I have a seven yr. old girl, a three yr. old boy, and a one yr. old girl, with twins right around the corner! I have a little help from my mom and sister, (every now and then), but I feel like you in a way. Stuff needs to get done regardless. Theres no other way and no other help. My husband thinks I can do more than I actually can and I know I can't. But the one thing that keeps me going is knowing that God will not give you more than you can handle! He knew in the beginning that you were the right person for these little babies and He will help you all the way through, regardless of the trials you will face. One thing He's proven to me is that He IS faithful!!! God Bless You and God be with you through it all! I will keep you in my prayers! Don't give up! And thank you for inspiring me, you'll never know how much!!!!! heres my email: jeremy.gomez@ymail.com

hi, ur right about the fact that is going to be hard!! n is sad to know ur family is not giving u support. dont let that bring u down, u need to be strong for ur babies. Im 23 and i have 4 children! i had my 1st daughter(shes now 7 years old) when i was 17 years old and i was also a single mom,but i was very lucky to have my mothers help. At the age of 20 I meet my soon to be husband (the man I love with all my heart) and after a year of dating i got pregnant with my second daughter(shes now 16 months)when she was 7 months i got pregnant with my twin boys and they r now 4 weeks old! A lot of people think im crazy for having 4 children @ 23 years a age but im very happy. i know what it is to be a single mom and i also know how much work could be taking care of twins but if you feel strong and u want to have ur babies dont let anyone take that away from you. try to find support groups out there n they will help u find daycare,parenting classes jobs ex....if u want to talk or have any type of questions about the twin pregnancy or how is it day by day taking care of twins? u could e-mail me at joychacon19@hotmail.com -Take care of your self and keep ur head up!! :)
