belated announcement - my twins arrived last month

Hi -

I haven't posted much because I had a very uneventful pregnancy, but I've followed everyone here and commented occasionally.

My twins were born a month ago, at 37 weeks 1 day. We went for a scheduled c-section because baby A was breech. We had not found out the genders ahead of time, and were thrilled to deliver a boy (baby A) and a girl (baby b. The delivery went very smooth - although I would not recommend a C-section if you don't have to have it - delivery may be easy, but the recovery was rough! Our boy spent a little time in the NICU just for monitoring as he had a little breathing trouble, but nothing serious, and they both roomed with us most of the time.

I am breastfeeding both, it hasn't been easy but we're getting the hang of it. I'm also pumping a lot. I'm trying to breastfeed during the day and give bottles of breastmilk at night so DH and I can share the nightime feedings, it makes it a lot easier. And we are also cloth diapering, which I think it going just fine, although family and friends love to make comments about it. But really I don't think it's any harder and we've had just as many leaks with disposable diapers as cloth.

Taking care of two babies isn't all that hard - what's hard is the lack of sleep. Everything is easier in the morning when we have had some sleep, it all seems harder at the end of the day when we're tired.

Birth story and photos are posted on our blog.

Lisa-the pictures are adorable! I love the one of Callie in the sink and the close up of them together (just their faces, looks like it could have been the hospital picture). They are cute!

I added the link to your blog in your OP.
