I can't commiserate with most of it, because I didn't know beforehand it was twins... (I did find plenty of other things to worry about, just check my ddc ) But as far as co-sleeping, yes my big boy (also under 2) is out of my bed, but...

I'd take that risk. Once the first is born, you're all stretched out, minimizing the risks of a breech. Chances that a baby will go into distress aren't all that great. Why give yourself a 100% chance of a drugged birth (and the cascade...

It changes, but every night we have "transition" - a nice chunk of time where they want to eat nonstop. At the point where I'm about to lose it, they finally really fall asleep! Tonight they were asleep by 10:00, but often it's...

My singletons ranged from 8lb 10oz to just an ounce short of 10 lb. The twins were 7lb 4oz and 7lb 8oz. I was pleasantly surprised how much easier the birth was

LOL I think I jinxed myself. It gets harder... now. These two have started to want/need to eat ALL. DAY. Thankfully not all night, but still! They are either nursing, catnapping on me, or screaming. At about 9 pm they calm down, and...

Once upon a time, there was a land called Litluns. There, they loved babes. When a Mama heard the call of her babe from the Island across the sea, she would brave the Bridge of Babes to go bring it home. The Bridge was long and made of...

Well yes it was unusual! It took under 2 hours from the first contraction (last record was 5 hours). And it turned out to be twins. THAT was unusual!

Here I am with 1 month old twin girls, and it's thankfully pretty manageable. The nursing is going fine, it is possible to n2ak (only n1ak right now though). Yes it can be tough to need to sit up in bed and nurse when both wake up at the...

Dealing with this too... DS is 21 months, and would love to nurse more. It's just so hard when he wants to nurse either right after the babies (and he's a harder sucker, so it can HURT!) or when there's plenty of milk but I'm afraid...

Happy 1 month bday, little girls! The names are Chana (grace in Hebrew) and Shterna (star in Yiddish). They are SOOO cute, look totally different, and great nursers. I am so glad I didn't know they were twins beforehand. This worked...
