Now that we have experienced pregnancy and the first 3 months with newborn twins, we can now put to rest all the negative expectations we were given over the past year. And now that supposedly the hardest part is over (as far as adjusting goes,) I can honestly say that I don't think it was bad at all...I have actually enjoyed all of it! At this point, we are still ready to do it all over again (not quite yet though!) I loved the first day they were born and the first time I got to hold them. I am already looking forward to meeting their future brother or sister someday:)
It amazes me how they have gone from little 5 lb newborns to now doubling their size to happy, smiling babies:) They have a way of making you feel like you are the most amazing person in the whole world. I'm sure this will change someday when they hate us for not letting them date some 16 year old boy, but for now, I will enjoy their unconditional admiration for us and ours for them.
At this point, they love to be held, and know exactly how to get their way with that. They continue to learn to work as a team...if they don't want to go to bed, they now know that 2 cries is louder than 1. (I like to think) I'm starting to have that magic "motherly" touch and can cure them of anything! Over their "3 month" birthday, they both slept 10-11 hours both nights! I ran them to the ground both days and went swimming, went on a long hike (in their Bob stroller,) went to a bridal shower, went to the Ruby Trust release party, and went out to dinner...and that's what equals 2 full nights of sleep!
