Text of the page (random words):
ur second airport plane extravaganza with the babies who are now 3 5 months old and i must say that it went beautifully there were hiccups of course i left their birth certificates at home and for the first time the check in dude asked for them it was fine honey had a ginormous sloppy change of clothes necessary poop splosion during the first leg of our flight i am becoming a pro at diaper changes in airplane restrooms there was lightening in the area when we landed in florida so it took our baggage 1 5 hours to come out as the baggage guys had to wait for the lightening to pass before unloading the plane i thanked our lucky stars we were sitting in the airport and not on the plane and i pumped in the ladies room their fuzzy napping bedtime schedules got all out of whack i did my best to preserve the sked but took deep laid back breaths when it didn t go exactly as i wanted it to go thanks to doting and meant well but didn t totally get how important the naps and bedtime routine are aunts grandparents and uncle the babies were little champs despite it all when we returned home on a plane filled with babies holding champ honey two bottles and two over flowing diaper bags our gate checked stroller was the only one not to come up to the jetway we calmly yet sternly suggested the flight attendant go down and find it and he did our car seats didn t make it onto the baggage claim carousel at the end of the trip after an hour of waiting for them i finally checked with baggage services and learned they had been dropped off in an area for oversized baggage that i d never heard about score these babies and all of the adventures we have because of them seem to really bring out the zen in me 10 comments filed under uncategorized tagged as nap plane schedule stroller travel twins june 6 2011 11 33 am e x h a u s t e d where have i been i ve been a busy busy bee with these two cuties we had an awesome time at our college reunion last weekend i m going to do a whole separate post on traveling with newborns because i learned a ton from our adventure with our 9 5 week old babies but the short version is the babies rocked it and i am so so so so so glad that we went i will treasure the memories forever and it was ridiculously surreal and wonderful to introduce champ and honey to our very best friends worth the exhaustion for sure when we weren t introducing our sweet little babies to friends we were up late drinking beer and catching up with classmates we hadn t seen in eons it takes it out of you drinking talking for 15 hours a day pumping and dumping blah in dorm bathrooms whew the morning after we got home my mom flew into town it was her first visit since the babies were born and this one went a million times better never really got into that story on my blog and i m not going to but suffice to say that hormones sleep deprivation my mom s anxiety about our little babies not a great first visit we spent tuesday shopping with the babies out to dinner with the babies that night more shopping on wednesday then she watched the babies for us on wednesday night while we went to a super fancy dinner with some of our best friends from hubs s graduate program to celebrate their graduation it was amazing and sooooo fun but we got home after midnight and then were up every other hour with the babies when the day officially begins at around 530am a really late din takes a toll my mom left thursday night then my three siblings arrived the next morning the next three days were spent grilling out going to an art fair hanging in the apartment as a fam dinner out with the babies etc etc etc totally wonderful but so tiring of course when it s my family i shouldn t feel pressure to be on and entertaining the entire time but yet i do because i want everyone to have fun and i want to be a good host and a good daughter sister and the babies are up all night and so i just have felt like i m barely staying afloat and basically it s just been a lot you know in the midst of the visitors we were interviewing nannies and i called about a dozen references another post always another post in itself the great news is that fingers crossed we have stumbled upon an amazing woman and as heartbroken as i am about going back to work next month crrrrrrrrry i know the babies will be loved and nurtured and safe under the care of this person not the best time to be doing a nanny search while we had visitors but it had to happen that way as there is a lot of turnover with nannies in our hood right now professors and grad students leaving and their nannies becoming available so we had to jump on meeting the best possible candidates final reason for extreme fatigue our 11 week old babies have not graduated beyond sleeping more than 3 hours at a time last night i fed them at midnight then hubs woke up with to a wailing champ at 2 something but he wouldn t eat then honey woke up hungry as hubs was putting champ back to bed after changing his dipe etc then champ woke up hungry another hour later and so on and so forth we don t sleep much i seriously need half a pot of coffee every morning to make it through the day of course i am loving every second of maternity leave but man we are in a rough spell i m not complaining i adore caring for doting upon kissing hugging loving our beautiful babies and i love being with family and friends i just need to say to someone besides hubs that i am tired like bone crushingly my stomach hurts how can i keep this up tired i treasure these moments with our babies when they are so young and sweet and little and the last thing i want to do is wish this precious time away and yet i can t help but dream of the days when they sleep more i am reallllllllllllllllllllllllly looking forward to a boring and mellow week on the home front our next big airplane trip is for 4th of july and i think i ll attempt gathering my strength until then 21 comments filed under uncategorized tagged as fatigue travel twins may 24 2011 6 38 pm confessions tons of random ramblings at 9 weeks old it s dangerous for me to go to the baby section at target everything is so cheap so i go a little too crazy can t resist sundresses for honey and polo onesies for champ i remember when i was on bedrest a lot of folks irl and in blog comments told me the worrying never ever ends when you have kids this is definitely true but i must say that the relief that the babies made it into the world safe and sound still has not worn off i do not miss the intense anxiety of pregnancy one bit whenever someone asks me the babies birth weights i tend to add a disclaimer along these lines but i ate a ton of cheeseburgers and sheperd s pie and milk shakes and protein during pregnancy i need to let it go even though i was anxious most of the time i loved every moment of being pregnant i was pretty worried i d get the baby blues after birth but i didn t i think being so grateful to be able to walk around and do chores and lift things again took the edge off since i d been on bedrest for weeks i ve been getting phantom kicks since the babies came out the babies are tiny celebrities whenever i take them out people go crazy for twins they deserve the attention sweet sweet things i m still amazed and grateful and over the moon happy that i can breastfeed i was so so so so so worried i wouldn t be able to i love bonding with the babies while nursing and i love providing nutritious breast milk for them but pumping all of the time takes a toll plus i miss my small boobs they never grew or got sore during pregnancy then bam right after giving birth they arrived i can t fit into any of my button up shirts or old tops but it is pretty cool that hubs mentions how awesome my boobs are at least once a day i have a serious rack it s out of control even though we re nowhere close to thinking about more kids i do hope and pray that my cycle period magically comes back when i stop breastfeeding i want it to work again pregnancy has been shown to re set the body in some anovulatory women i think about that way too much even though i m bfing and i m anovulatory hubs and i are using condoms just to be really really really safe it seems so strange to use protection considering the lengths we went to for our babies condoms suck i refuse to go back on the pill i still blame it for my anovulation i wish i was skinny for my college reunion this weekend i know that s totally vain and i just had twins and yada yada but i just don t feel comfie in my bod right now i have these huge boobs a mushy tummy a soft jawline it s okay it s just hard to be on display if that makes sense of course our babies are 200 worth it even though i miss my pre if figure i will say that breastfeeding burns a ton of calories i m almost at my pre pregnancy weight which is insane considering the amount i eat these days everything just seems to be situated totally differently i m running shuffling a few times a week too i sent an excited text to my little sister last week that i was up to running for 33 minutes straight and she wrote back only that long are you injured uhhhhhhh thanks she doesn t get that even though i m a runner you can t take this much time off give birth and then have the muscle strength or fitness to bang out a five miler kids i picked up the babies birth certificates downtown yesterday afternoon and tears welled up when i saw their names on those official documents and after signing for them as mother wow wow wow it will never ever get old i am in awe of my amazing luck and life i think that s enough random ness for one night xoxo 18 comments filed under uncategorized tagged as 9 weeks bedrest breastfeeding exercise friends and family pregnancy running twins may 19 2011 11 27 am fave baby gear dear bloggie friends this post is all baby talk and i totally and completely understand if you aren t in the mood to read it the babies had their 8 week check up this morning and i am very very very happy to report they are growing and gaining weight like little champions they are still really little but they are chubbing up and our ped is pleased because of this we are going to chill out and nix our extremely intense methodology for knowing how much they were eating each day it involved weighing each bottle before and after feeds a feeding log excel spreadsheets and charts yip they also had their first round of vaccinations 3 injections each plus an oral vaccination not much fun for either of them but they were quickly soothed i m hoping they don t get feverish or fussy today but i m prepared if they do and am giving them even more cuddles than usual no matter what a few commenters and irl friends have been asking me about our fave twin gear so i thought i d do a quickie run down of the stuff we love i m sure every mom has different likes and dislikes and i would love to hear feedback but this is what works for us so far itzbeen we bought two of these genius gadgets which have a series of timers corresponding to icons representing diaper change feeding and sleep we put a blue heart sticker on one and a pink heart sticker on the other and anytime we change or feed a baby we press the timer re set button that way we both always know when each baby has last eaten been changed pooped etc we find it easier than calculating the timing from a spiral notebook especially at night when hubs and i care for the babies in shifts snap n go ugly a little rickety hard to steer etc but sooooo crucial for car trips when you don t want to wake a baby up by moving him her in and out of a carseat you just snap the carseats into the stroller frame then release them and snap them into the carseat bases in the car i use the city mini duo for walks and errands in the hood but when i m solo and taking the babies in the car i use the sng fisher price rock n play swing we got these thanks to a tip from aplusb who hubs and i visited about 12 hours before i went into labor i actually bought them online later that day and they arrived the day we came home from the hospital never ever would ve guessed how much we would use them we stick the babies in them for naps or quiet time the incline has been awesome for honey s digestion issues and because they are so lightweight we can move the babes all over the apartment in them depending on what room we re hanging out in we also have the bjorn and mama roo bouncers and we use them but these cheap o swings get used all the time ring sling we haven t used our baby bjorn carriers yet and i know they will get a ton of use but for random daily chores around the house i m really happy i have a sling i know everyone loooooves the moby but with twins i find it useful to have a sling i can just throw on without spending 5 minutes tying it correctly honey loves to be held and she loves doing chores with me so i ll stick her in our sling a fair amount to accomplish both at once i mention this because i never had considered getting a sling what would i need one sling for with two babies before champ and honey arrived boppy i registered for one on whim and almost returned it but then the babies came and i used it so much that i got a second one i use the boppys for nursing for bottle feedings and as a chill out seat for each babe i did return the mt brest friend twin nursing pillow it just didn t work for me carters and gerber clothes these brands are super cheap and totally cute and most important when our babies were teenie tiny their sizes are true to the baby s size i bought some halo and giggle brand preemie outfits and they were huuuuge on our babies gerber and carters are little enough ditto for their newborn size to fit when they re suppose to i hope you don t need preemie clothes but if you do stock up on these because it s helpful to see your baby in clothes that fit sleep gowns i love dressing the babies up in cute even complicated outfits all day but at night i say seeee ya to the onesies and snap up footie outfits changing two babies every couple of hours in the night you want it to go as quickly as possible and to agitate the baby as little as possible the less snaps to deal with the better plus the babies look sooooooooooo angelic and sweet in their night gowns i love the angel dear gowns pricey but we use them almost every night sports bra i finally wised up and got a special hands free pumping bra after a week of constant pumping but quickly realized i needed a back up for when it was in the wash i decided to just cut slits in an old sports bra instead of shelling out for another bra if you re a twin mom you re very likely going to spend a lot of your time pumping and i highly recommend having a bra ready to go so you can play with a baby type talk on the phone whatever while you re producing that liquid gold i like the sports bra better because the zipper never catches which is nice when i m pumping in the middle of the night and a little more impatient chicco keyfit 3 0 carseat we debated between these and the graco ...
