I have kept up with reading blogs but don't remember the last time I commented on one. I've had comments to make, I just haven't done it. I suck.
As for my life, it's very monotonous at this point, but absolutely worth it. I do look forward to meaningful smiles though, just to get positive feedback from these little life forms!
And I don't know if it's just a twin thing but I'm sick of hearing people say "it's their growth spurt". They feed all the time. They usually eat every 2 hrs now and take an hour to do it, therefore getting maybe 20 mins of sleep time in each cycle during the day. We usually get our old 3 hr cycles back at night. Yippee! It's been 2 weeks of this. I was doing well at getting out and doing stuff at least 3 times a week but that hasn't been possible with 2 hr feeding cycles. So, is it b/c there are 2 babies whose growth cycles run into one another? Or are growth spurts just an excuse so that I'll believe it can END someday? It would be interesting to see how long a baby would sleep through the night, if there was only one. But of course, I'll never know and it doesn't matter anyway.
My little guy is 9 lbs as of last week. And my "big guy" is 8 lbs 14 oz. So the little one has caught up and stormed past! Go buddy! They only fit clothes for about a week at a time. I have already packed up so many little outfits! Wow, they grow fast. And time is flying so fast. 8 weeks already! I think I need this to slow down.
The boys are completely different people. They find different things entertaining, they require different soothing techniques, one is a screamer and the other a crier, they even poop different colours and frequencies. This will be fun to watch as they grow up.
