So small but so thankful


The kids are gaining weight which is great. Sara was born at 4 lbs 15 oz and is up to 5 lbs 7 oz. Mr. Dino Danyal was born at 6 lbs and is now up to 6 lbs 7 oz.

I made the mistake while cleaning today and turned on Discovery Health. The show NCIU was on and they were showing twins that were born at 27 weeks and 32 weeks. After watching that I am so thankful that we made it to 38 weeks, even if Ms. Sara had to spend 8 hours in the Special Care Unit.

All that being said my kids are still so small when I look at other kids. I find them so precious being this small, well that and they are mine. Even if they don't let me sleep I cannot help but look at them and grin. My beautiful kids.

I am not going to lie...


I am TIRED!! I mean really? Yesterday was a marathon crying session where they were both just unhappy for a long five hours! It can get to be exhausting especially when you put trying to comfort two kids, change two kids, feed two kids, and pump.

So far grandma and the best friend (auntie) have been lifesavers! Though I have to say Marathon Princess brought me some of the best sushi I have had in a long time!

I think the crying and sleepless nights have been easier than breastfeeding. It's not that we haven't had to work to get there, it is the whole supply issue ( trust me I have tried everything the LC and friends have told me too). Having to breastfeed each lil' peanut, then supplement with a bottle, then pump can turn into a 3 hour process with no rest.

Oh the fun days ahead, but then I look at the kids and think "Damn they're cute! I made them!"

So cute!



I cannot believe that on Monday the kids will be two weeks old. They are still pretty sleepy and we are working on fixing their nights and days.

I have to say how Sara came into this world...Shaking her fist. I ended up with a c-section, as they were about to make the incision on the uterus Sara's little fist broke through my uterus wall! I guess I was stretched to the max! I could hear the nurse saying "what do we do now?", my Dr. "we make the incision" Duh! I guess Sara will always be headstrong and lead in her own way.
