The Running Shoes

Having a child will change life as you know it. Suddenly you will be putting someone else’s needs before your own. Also, you will be putting someone else’s wants before your own. Ah ha, it’s imperative to remember that part. The truth is you may not already do this with your significant other. I know that it’s written somewhere that you’re supposed to.
Regardless, many individuals do not. They remain selfish and unaware of their partner’s needs and wants. Yeah, just ask my husband. He knows all about that. No matter how much I give, I get less than half in return. He claims that it’s supposed to be this way. Whatever! Anyway, enough with the personal ranting. When your newborn child arrives, you’d better be ready to give, give, give. That’s part of the package. Yikes, I just had a scary thought. What if you have twins? Gees, you’d better be ready to break out the double baby jogging stroller and a whole lot of patience. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

I have no idea what I would have done if I would have had twins. This definitely would have thrown me for a loop. I mean one child is quite a bit, but two would be a handful. That means double of everything. Double dirty diapers, double feeding, double screaming and crying, double napping, and of course double the cost.

Yeah, that darn cost part can really get you. At least you can snag a double baby jogging stroller from the local Babies R Us store. These make things a bit simpler. I can recall one couple that I saw on the news several years back. They had eight babies at once. That must be couplets or something rather. It was a new record. Wow, I can’t even imagine what that lady went through. That would be a serious labor. They wouldn’t need a double baby jogging stroller. They’d need a stretch limo stroller. Do they have those yet? Fortunately everyone across the country helped them. They had plenty of aid in the end and did just fine. It’s a happy story.

Can you imagine having twins? My mother actually wanted them. She recently told me this. I couldn’t believe it because she already had us four boys. That would make six kids. Yikes! I know what it was. She just wanted that double baby jogging stroller. Okay, maybe it had more to do with wanting girls. I can understand that one.
