Diaper Duty

plus, Lily's bum seems GIANT after wiping these little guys

First day home

We took this pic the day we brought the twins home. I thought it would be cute to put them in the same seat. They snuggled right up to each other and went to sleep. So sweet and peaceful... man did they fool us!

At first Lily wanted nothing to do with the babies, now I can't keep her away. She always wants to help me feed them. This was when they were a few weeks old, she insisted on feeding them both by herself :)

Birth Story

I realized the other day that the twins are already almost two months! Wow time really flies. Everyone always says to write down things your kids say or do, because you think you will remember but you really don't. I was thinking about Lily's baby days, and I can barely remember them! So I've decided to sort of use my blog as a journal, sorry if this is boring :)


Birth story...

Jet and Jax decided they would finally arrive on August 3rd, 2010, with the help of a little pitocin of course. When I found out I was having twins I thought I might go early on my own, no such luck. 38 weeks is considered full term for twins, so that's when they said they would induce me. I had to go to the office once a week and to L&D once a week for a NST (non stress test). Every week they told me they bet I would never make it to 38 weeks. I should have known better, because Lily was a whole week overdue! Apparently I am made to carry babies. We got to the hospital at 11 am. The nurse checked me and I was at 3cm, but not in labor or having any contractions at all. So she started my IV, and got the pit going. I had to have a separate monitor for each baby plus the contraction monitor strapped across my belly. It was the most uncomfortable thing ever. My doc came and broke my water before I had my epidural, not recommended. They had told me I could have it before, but I was putting it of as long as possible because I HATE needles. I know I know I'm a nurse who hates needles. I have no problem poking others, I just don't want them in me. :) Of course the epidual sucked, it hurt a lot worse this time. Right after it was in, the line wouldn't flush because there was a clot in the tubing. The CRNA said he might have to redo the whole thing, and I wanted to slap him. He got it working though and it was all good after that. Finally at 5:45 I was fully dilated. They wheeled my bed into the OR, I had to have them there in case baby B turned and I had to have a c-section. There were at least 10 people in the room, not kidding. 2 docs, 2 labor nurses, 2 techs, 2 respiratory therapists, 2 nursery nurses, and of course me and my hubby. Jet was born at 5:48, and Jax just four minutes later at 5:52. They were worried right after Jet was born, because Jax's cord prolapsed. But he was out quickly and everyone was perfect!  The delivery room was so loud with both babies crying. They handed me both of them, and I think I was in shock a little bit. My facial expression on the video is funny, I just kept looking from one to the other and saying "this is crazy." And yes I still look at both of them and think that! Lily was funny when they brought her in, she kept pointing to the babies and saying "another one?"

I give in...

Everyone is always asking me if I have a blog, and why I don't. I always have had some excuse for not blogging: in school, too busy, too prego, whatever. Though I have to confess I love looking at everyone elses blogs. The other day my husband, of all people, asked me why I didn't have a blog and called me a slacker. Hmm.. So here it is and we shall see how it goes. Maybe this will motivate me to take more pictures of the kiddos, since I am also slacking in that area :)
