"Lucky You"

I was out shopping today with the twins when for the umpteenth time a woman I crossed paths with stated "Lucky you" in regards to the twins. It wasn't that "Oh my, you are so lucky you have twins" kind of "lucky you" either. It was that "Ha-lucky you sucker, your life is completely miserable isn't it?" kind of "lucky you". I have heard that comment so many times I almost was about to ask this young woman "What exactly do you mean by that?" Do you mean you feel sorry for me because I have twins? Because I have do deal with two babies crying at the same time? Two times the terrible twos? My first response however would have to be "Why yes I am lucky"!
Lucky can be defined as: Having or marked by good luck; fortunate. I prefer the latter part of the definition. I am very fortunate to have two beautiful babies that happen to be twins. I am very fortunate I was able to conceive my twins after three cycles of IVF. The reality is I'm not always thinking how lucky I am. Trust me, I have those moments where I need to walk out the front door and take a few breaths. When Ryan was screaming his head off tonight during dinner everytime he saw the spoon go Kaitlyn's way and Kaitlyn was screaming because whatever I was feeding her she didn't like the first thought that crossed my mind was not "lucky me". "Luckiness" does not fall upon us all. I know many whom can not conceive, those who conceive the first try or attempt for years to get pregnant only to miscarry or lose their child. Those who would give anything to hear someone say "lucky you" to them.
So, am I lucky? I guess you could say I am in more ways than one.
