Singletons always get things in multiples....

Good Morning!
I am at home today, for the second time in a week. It's only fair, Dan has been home for 3 days with the sickies... Cam and Elli are both having respiratory issues and I don't have vacation time yet, so we swap. Since Dan has a laptop and can work from home, he does bear the brunt of it.
I remember being sent for an u/s with Mikayla because the doctor was convinced we were having multiples. So as we waited for 2 weeks, the thoughts of multiples always came to mind in a positive way. Two or three of everything? Less pregnancies? It seemed good to me. But alas, we did have four singletons. To this day everything comes in multiples though, multiple fights, multiple loads of laundry, and multiple kids with illness. I just can't seem to figure out why we can't have just one sick kid? Is this an anomolie in larger families? To have one kid sick, one to snuggle with, one to rehabilitate? I guess I just never saw that side of multiples back then.
On the other hand, there are two little girls snuggled together on our couch enjoying each others company and I can't complain. The site is adorable!
I guess we all get what we want, just not the way we thought we would get it.
