Seriously, it is such a pleasure, such a gift to get to spend time with them.
TWO sets of twins?? Whoa, Pizzagirl! I know my S and DIL have talked about wanting to maybe have another child one day, but they are pretty nervous about having twins again.
My youngest sibs are twins. My mom had five kids under six (and three under two) when my dad was sent to Vietnam. I think that year probably cured them of the idea of any more kids!
My favorite niece just gave birth to twins⊠3 months prematurely
Babies are doing as well (even breathing on their own) as can be expected, but thereâs an awful lot of fears and more than a few tears during this hard time for their parents and grandparentsâŠ
Oh man, katliamomâwill definitely keep that family in our prayers!!! We were just talking last night about how wonderfully round and happy our twins are now. I look forward to when your niece can say the same thing. Meanwhile, also will pray for all those wonderful NICU workers. Arenât they just amazing???
âall those wonderful NICU workers. Arenât they just amazing???â â Yes, they are. Itâs their professionalism and at the same time enormous kindness/support thatâs keeping this family from completely falling apart to pieces.
Wonderful news, churchmusicmom. Thanks for sharing. I agree with the âwonderful NICU workersâ. Hoping Iâm blessed with a grandchild or two this decade. Iâll be searching for the article you mentioned, momof3sons, so I can email it to D. (Found it, or one like it⊠http://www.alzheimers.net/8-1-14-babysitting-grandkids-alzheimers)
My twins are now 22. It is crazy when they were small. I felt as though I had half the time to enjoy each one and the time went twice as fast. Cherish these days.
Congratulations! Our boy-girl twins are now 30. We went on to have 2 single babies, but have to admit we worried we might have another set of twins. I really think it is best to have the twins first. You donât know anything either way so it just seems normal. After twins, the single births are a breeze! When they get a little older they keep each other entertained-they always have a friend. Enjoy every minute!
Katliamom - fwiw, my twins were 9 weeks early, weighed 2 and 3 pounds apiece, spent 2 months in NICU - and they are happy and healthy 22 yoâs. And this was before steroids, and some of technology today. Praise to NICU workers, and best wishes!
almost grown up, 16 now. They were born 66 minutes apart. When mom is in the military, they do the natural birth method. 1st weighed 5.2 and the 2 was 6.9. Went home 3 days later. We are very blessed.
When they were just born, we kept them together in the same crib. They never woke each other up, which I always found strange.
âOurâ twins are absolutely sleeping in the same cribâwell, in a âpack-n-playâ, or portable crib so they can be in the room with mom and dad (or me if I am spending the night).
funny twin story. Daughters were in preschool and in separate classes. The oldest says, âWhen my sister gets hurt, the other kids come to get me. I donât know why. Iâm not a doctor.â
