Weigh in

The kids had their 2 month check up yesterday and they are doing great. Sara is now up to 8lbs 2oz and 20.5 inches and Danyal is up to 9 lbs 1 oz and 21.5 inches. The most distressing part of the appointment was when they had to get their shots. That was horrible! They seem to be doing much better now. You can really tell their eye colors apart with these two pictures!

Time Flies

when you are sleep deprived! So far the kids can smile and Danyal LOVES to talk while on his playmat. There are leaves on the playmat and today he talked to them for an hour. Not sure about what but it was cute. Sara smiles but she has to be in the right mood. Danyal has started to track my voice and follow me. It is odd that they are now so alert and awake at almost 7 weeks!

Both of the kids colic has calmed down a little since we figured out they are lactose intolerant, much like most of my relatives.

It's been a while

I am still adjusting to the whole mom of twins thing. I find it sad and funny at the same time that on my to do list I actually have to put shower. When days like today happen, I understand why. It is now 7:34 pm and I am still in my PJ's. Oh yes, you read that correctly. I had two that would not be happy today. I feel bad for them with their colic, reflux, and gas issues. They just sound so miserable at times and it breaks my heart.

Now after being up since 4:30 a.m. I have finally showered..only to put PJ's back on.

Otherwise they are fantastic kids and I adore them. What can I say, they are mine. Danyal's eyes are so blue I love it! I could not have created two more different little people.

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.

Welcome Sara & Danyal

The babies have arrived! Everything went well as we could hope for and they came out a little smaller than we planned. For that reason I am thrilled that I made it to 38 weeks.

They are so different looking I cannot get over it! Sara has such dark black hair and weighed 5 lbs and was 19 inches long. Danyal has light brown hair and may end up with blue eyes yet. He weighed 6 lbs and was also 19 inches long. That was like having a toddler in my stomach!

I was amazed when I first saw them at how different they and how a person could love another little person right away. All I can say is wow!

Now if I can ever get their days and nights fixed that would be swell!
