Update on the twins

I'm sorry there hasn't been an update on how the boys are doing since we've come home. It all happened so fast! The just woke up one day and decided they wanted to eat, we came home, and then they never stopped eating for me to blog.

Our first weeks home were quite a trial for me. Other mom's tell you it will be busy and that you won't sleep... But I never understood that you are BUSY and you DON'T sleep. Because of their size and the fact they have reflux, they wanted to eat every 2 hours. Since it took me 1 1/2 hrs to feed them... Well, you get the general idea.

We've had some really fun family moments. The boys love spitting up on their dad as soon as they enter his arms. We got him this super cool apron for burping time now to keep him safe. Funny thing is, during this picture Oliver turned his head and spit up right underneath the apron.

The boys finally met their due date on august 9th! We told Bridger he could hold them once they got that old so he came by unannounced with cupcakes and birthday hats to celebrate! He was so excited.

Thank you to our families who have come over to give bottles and give us a bit of a breather. It was nice to get a bit of sleep each day and go on a date. You have helped preserve my sanity.

Yesterday I was finally able to get the boys nursing at the same time!!! I then learned, thanks to google, to flip then over on my super cool twin nursing pillow and burp them like bongo drums. It has been great having hours of my day back and not feeling like a milk machine.

We think our boys just might be identical. What do you think? They look more alike everyday. Even we mix them up sometimes.

Really long post. Last picture! We went on our first walk! Yay for being out of the house and enjoying fresh air.

Lightning Storm

I think everyone was impressed by the lightning storm we had last night. I just had to bust out my camera and open my front door in my sleepwear and take a few shots. I became quite damp. Here's the result.
