27x this is what you think when you fly with twins

flying twins

‘We’ll do this for a while,’ Tessa thought. ‘Flying to Spain with two four-month-old babies. A flight of three hours: oh, so beeping.’

Well, this is what you think, as a mother of twins:

1. I don’t have enough food. Oh God. Can you buy that at Schiphol? Googling. And with the other hand carrying suitcases, maxi cosi’s, buggies and hand luggage. Works fine.
2. Nice, those customs, but eh. How do you do that when you have to fold your buggy and have two children? Help. I can only hold one at a time.
3. Ask for water in that coffee shop, quick. I used to buy a magazine here. Oh, I don’t have time for that.
4. Why can’t we sit next to each other on the plane? So bland. My husband three rows down with one of my sons.
5. Why am I sitting at the window? I have to change him like that, right? And then climb over two passengers with him in my arms? uh…
6. If no one smells their diaper…
7. Don’t ask me how, but it worked. On that half square meter in the toilet. With turbulence. But we’re back.
8. Oh come on baby, go get some sleep.
9. Anyway, I’m tired. Are we there yet?
10. Oh no, don’t cry, shhhh. Here’s a pacifier, another pacifier, a rabbit, another rabbit. Do you want to sit up straight? No, don’t pull that gentleman’s glasses.
11. Stewardess, would you please heat up this milk? Just need a little while.
12. Flight attendant, is it ready yet? He cries a lot.
13. Sorry, yeah haha, little ones huh.
14. Stewardess, can I have the milk back? It doesn’t matter if it isn’t warm yet. I have to give it now.
15. Well ^#!^!&@$ the milk is piping hot. Shhhh, shut up boy, I still have some cold water.
16. Is it okay to just add water to my baby’s milk?
17. I have no choice. Otherwise half the plane will look at us.
18. Thank God he is quiet. Long live the milk with cold water.
19. Are we there yet?
20. Two more hours. Have I already had breakfast? Well, a cup of coffee is good too.
21. Come lay on my lap. That mom can’t move and has cramps in her legs is not a problem.
22. Where is daddy anyway? Has he changed Bodi yet? And have you already given milk?
23. I have to warn him.
24. Stewardess, will you tell my husband that the milk really only needs to be heated for ten seconds? Yeah, haha, yeah it was a little too, uh, hot. Does not matter.
25. Do I have deodorant with me? It feels like a workout this. And I can’t take my sweater off in this position because he’s asleep. Finally.
26. We land, we are there. How do I get out of this chair with baby and a thousand things? Don’t forget that rabbit. Oh, there’s my husband.
27. Why did I only buy one baby carrier? Why did I save on that exactly? Now I have to walk from the plane to the gate with a now quite heavy boy in my arms. Plus hand luggage. Which I still have four stocks of food in.
