Ok but how bad are the first few months really?

I’m sitting here looking at pictures of my firstborn when she was a freshie and feeling nostalgic of those days. At the time, it felt like the hardest thing ever, but these pictures are also reminding me of that safe little bubble we were in for the first couple of weeks. The tiniest things felt like little wins (going for a walk by myself with baby, cooking dinner again, getting baby to tolerate the swing), and I can’t help but look back and kinda look forward to those days again- which I NEVER thought I would. Our world just felt very small and figuratively quiet- if that makes sense. Safe and simple (yet also a shit show). These pictures are also making me look forward to holding little babies again!

Totally get twins, even further- twins plus a toddler will be an entirely new ball game. But does anyone resonate with that feeling from the newborn days?? Will I get to experience that again at all with twin newborns? Or is it just an utter gong show 24/7…
