Our sweet baby girls are one month old! You always hear other parents say how fast the time flies and it's definitely true! This has been the fastest month of our lives. The adjustment has been very smooth. It's as if we were made for this experience!
Emersyn and Everly are such wonderful babies. I must brag a little bit! Perhaps it's because they sleep together, but our nights have been very smooth. They sleep in 2-4 hour increments, which means that this mommy gets some rest in between feedings. They are super cuddly, wonderful little eaters. As they are starting to fill out, they are starting to look more alike. I find myself having to do a double take here and there just to see which baby I am holding.
They have both surpassed their birth weights and are very happy, healthy girls. Nursing is going very well. I will admit that nursing twins was probably my biggest fear with bringing the babies home. Once the painful, adjustment part ended, it has been a breeze.
We've also survived a couple outings including Christmas shopping in Chesterfield and also going out and about around Quincy. And to my utter shock, people have actually been very nice. When we went to Chesterfield, the girls were two weeks old. And I would be lying if my stomach didn't do a flip flop every time someone approached us. However, everyone was very friendly in congratulating us. There are always a couple of bad seeds among the many good people, but the good outweighs the negative.
I truly feel like I was meant to be a twin mom and a mom of three! People expect me to be exhausted when they see me or overrun, but I am just so happy! And so many acted like we would need tons of help, but Michael and I are a wonderful team, along with our little sidekick, big brother Rhylan. We appreciate the offers to help and I'm very excited to say that we've got it! Michael and I work together everyday to manage our newly grown family and it's been great.
Here's to the coming months and the journey ahead!
