I found out today that the likelihood of having twins
natural increases once you’re over 35. It was a weird, kismet moment to read
this as I’ve been plagued with this bizarre thought over the last week that we
could have twins. I have no idea why as we don’t have any twins in our family.
But, for some reason, the thought has just been there.
I do tend to get “feelings in my waters” from time to time
and even premonitions of things that will happen. But equally, I also have
random thoughts that turn into nothing. But it was a very spooky moment for
such a random thought to suddenly be grounded in fact!
This led me to have a conversation with my husband about
what we would do if we had twins. He suggested we could sell one to a group in Afghanistan but
I told him we would not be selling any of our children for money! He asked if
we could sell them for cider. I said no.
But when he decided to get serious, he responded with his
normal, level-headedness, which was “We’ll deal with it.”
I wouldn’t mind twins to be honest. At the very most I only
want two children so if we had them at the same time it would be over in one
foul swoop. Although I’m well aware that the early years will be tough. But
overall, I think I’d like it.
Mind you, I wouldn’t be one of those mothers who dresses her
twins in exactly the same clothes. What is with that? Not only do you look the
same as each other but you have to dress the same too. I’m not sure that’s the
way to raise two, independent children who are strong and secure in their OWN
self-identity. But I’ll continue with that discussion should I end up with two
for the price of one!
