My babies love eating these chickpea falafels for lunch or dinner! They are full of delicious and healthy ingredients like chickpeas, onion, fresh herbs, and garlic. I like to serve them alongside a scoop of plain greek yogurt, sliced cherry tomatoes, and cucumber spears. A baby-sized greek feast! Finn and Eli always have so much fun eating this meal.

So while I’m honestly not sure how much supposedly…

Would I be able to deliver naturally, or would I have to have a c-section? How would I manage my time with twins?
