Omg the picture of them together- how cute! How is having twins? Twice as hard?
Not at all. It's not really much different from having one baby except for outings like grocery shopping. In that case I have a cart and a double stroller I push/pull through the store and people give me dirty looks or make rude comments.
I love having twins. Right now they don't do much of anything besides lie around in different places. I don't think they care for each other though, because I have noticed they fight when I put them together to interact. They'll start kicking and slapping each other.
Lol bunnygirl that's pretty funny- maybe they're just glad to have their own space finally.
The twins sound so cute!
6 days old here. Jules and I had a bumpy start but things are getting better I think. She lost a full pound and I was ungodly sore so I talked to a LC and found out Jules had a pretty major lip and tounge tie. We took her to a ped dentist that works with infants and got the ties cut. I felt so bad but I know it was necessary. We have to wait until Tuesday to see if she has started gaining weight yet, but she is eating pretty heartily. Other than that, she is such a good baby. So content. If I had to come up with a complaint at all it'd be that she is too content lol. She sleeps ALL the time. Only wakes up to eat and even then is half asleep lol. We get about 10-15 minutes a day cumulative of eyes open, alert and looking around. But whatever, I enjoy holding her and loving on her whether she is awake or not. I am enjoying every single second because I know she will grow up way too fast.
Oh, here is a giggle I forgot to share before. As u all know I had too much fluid. I was measuring 45 weeks 3 days before cesarean. During my c/s I heard the OB say (in reference to the size of my uterus) "wow... big!" Nurse asked "twins?" and OB said "nope... just 1..." LMBO.

Lol Two- god you must have lost a ton of weight right afterwards then.
My son was a really sleepy baby too- I actually had to wake him to eat otherwise I was miserable. What do they have to clip for tongue tie exactly? Both of my kiddos lost a full pound too but since my son started out big it wasn't so big a deal, my daughter was smaller and they were on me with her. My milk also takes awhile to come in so there's that too. Glad you both are doing well now!
34 pounds so far. I am currently below my pre-preg weight by about 13 pounds which I think is pretty cool.Quote:

Had to bump up her follow-up with the dentist. Under her tongue is partially orange.... I know we both are dealing with thrush so I suspect that has something to do with it but don't wanna take any chances. So we will see him tomorrow afternoon and hopefully sort it all out.

Everyone I know who had ties lasered had them grow back together despite doing all the stretching exercises, including me when I was 11. I had to have it redone and got it clipped with scissors and it healed without growing back together and no stretching needed.
The twins are 3 months old tomorrow and we tried out the Bumbo today.

Lol cute pic!
Two, despite all of that it sounds like you two are holding up well. I'm not sure I would feel so positive- good for you!
Congratulations two! Congratulations girlie! Well done both of you!
