First Month with Twins

(July 17 – August 17)

Our first month together has taught me…

The NICU gets your babies on a great schedule, you just have to stick to it.

They eat 3-4 oz.every 4 hours on the dot.

How to bottle feed two babies at one time.

How to carry two carriers with one arm to make it possible to hold Ledger’s hand or open doors.

It’s much nicer to have the attention from strangers focused on the babies, rather than a huge pregnant stomach.

People love talking about twins.

One of the kids is going to have to cry at times. That’s life with only two hands, and three kids two years apart.

You fall in love with your husband more and more every time he helps with night time feedings.

And most of all, I love having three boys in the home more than I thought I would.
