Singleton after Twins
Our twins are 7 months old, and I am 10 weeks pregnant. So, if all goes
well, the boys will be just over a year old when the new baby arrives. For those of you who had a singleton after having twins, did you find that having just 1 baby was a breeze? -- -Lisa Due September 2005 Mom to Aaron & Nicholas born 7/25/04 Mom to Mariam Averi, born sleeping 9/10/03 http://www.memoriesofmariam.com |

That was pretty much true for us, but our twins were almost 3 when our singleton was born, so they were getting to a much easier age as well. Two other things made it easier. First, we were much more experienced. Second, our singleton boy was just a much "easier" baby than the girls were; the twins were somewhat colicky for awhile, and he was pretty happy most of the time, and started sleeping through the night lot earlier.

For those of you who had a singleton after having twins, did you find that having just 1 baby was a breeze? Yes. :-D But similar to what Nick had with his children, we had a significant age difference between our twins and our singleton. Our twins were 9 days short of turning 4 years old when our singleton was born. So I think there will be a lot of hard parts for you in your situation, as in three in diapers, three actual toddlers/preschoolers and the like. But I think the "easy" part will come in *not* having it be twins again, if you know what I mean! And I think there's a benefit to "getting it all over with" at once, as far as diapering/feeding/strollers/baby bags. Jenny |

Yes, it's easier. Our twinkies were 2 and a half when the new guy came.
Now that he's just turned one[sort of--has was born Feb 29, so he technically didn't have a birthday this year, but I digress], and been walking for several weeks, it's pretty demanding, because they're all still pretty young and high maintenance. But the one newborn baby was much easier. Congratulations! |
