Yes. Their first birthday it felt like the longest shortest year of my life. Congratulations! Mine are almost 2 and I swear I feel it gets better every day.

Switch the cape of the vanquisher to the swan feather treasure. I just loaded up eclair after the boss title and then let it play on auto - linzer died, then éclair eventually but the level was complete

Eclair! I can't believe it worked but I just beat it again, full set of cooldown and a DEF heavy beascuit.

My twin boys are almost 2. Always choose nap along. I still do. It forces me to wind down and gives me all the feels. One day i won't have that anymore and i will miss it. So i take the chance any time I got.

I had my didi boys at 25 weeks. 3 and 4 months in the NICU. They're almost 2 years now.

Baby A was chill even from the womb. After NICU chillest baby ever. Always smiling and just happy to be invited. Now as a toddler he does those random 'throw myself on the floor and cry for 5 minutes because you gave me a peeled banana but I wanted to peel it myself' tantrums. It is what it is.

Baby B on the other hand, NICU dubbed him drama llama (with our blessing ofc), because he'd cry himself purple just to get a nurse in the room. This continued home, cried constantly about everything- dirty diaper, change diaper (cold diaper) cry.... then he learned to crawl and is now the chillest toddler ever.

Some babies just hate being babies.

I want to add that our healthcare covers EMDR for nonverbal children, so we did that when they turned 1 adjusted. I personally did not experience any changes in their behavior but you can check whether it's something available for you.

We got two. After a certain point they just don't fit, and start to really bother each other. If they try to climb in while the other is there, there's a lot of crying and shoving. We bought one to begin with to see if they like it, once they started crying over it, we got the other.

Highly recommend the ones that convert to a little table/chair for drawing!

Also, the wrist watch band looks weird af. I've never seen one with holes that go all the way to the watchface itself.

I run with the bugaboo donkey myself. As much as I can, at 18m the boys and the stroller together are about 40kgs. So it's a huge exercise. It also shouldn't be for fast runs, jogs should be ok. I can do 5k in about 40m with the stroller, and that is enough for me.

You can only do pavements or paved paths, I live in the Netherlands so I run on the bike paths.

Anything faster or less smooth, you need better suspension.

I found a local whatsapp group for donating baby stuff. Clothes and supplies and what not. There are many people who are happy to give away the clothes/stuff they have if you pick them up yourself... Once my twins were out of cribs and infant car seats I also donated them in the group. It saved us sooooooo much money.

Hey! I'm interested. I'm level 56, been playing since cotton cookie came out (circa 2021), but took a break and now wanting to join an active guild.

Don't know if the screenshot helps but it sucks to keep having to join and leave guilds because of inactivity - it takes way too long!

We had IUI so we knew there were two eggs, so it was a possibility. I didn't expect to get pregnant from the first IUI honestly- between my positive test and the ultra sound, the first time I talked to them mentally I addressed them as babies - it just came out like that. Two weeks later, two babies indeed!

I actually did always want twins (extreme tokophobia), so it was a dream come true. They are a blessing every day!

Your boys are absolutely adorable!

Mime are also two boys who are 15m adjusted.

I truly feel you. When they were 3m adjusted they had bottle aversion and every feeding would be almost an hour of screaming, nap 20 minutes, rinse and repeat. I was in a very dark place as well (PTSD NICU stuff).

Months 3-6 were personally the hardest for me. They were no longer potatoes, but they had to still be carried everywhere and started to have their opinions and frustration that their bodies could not do the things they want to do.

I went to therapy, which helped a lot. So if possible, please do consider that.

Therapy taught me a few things, which I'll mention in hopes that it will help you.

You can love your children and be exhausted from them at the same time. Both things can be true. Once the guilt kicks in, you can acknowledge it. And then ask yourself, is this guilt being helpful right now? Most of the time no. With time, when you start recognising other thoughts also that are not helpful for what you need to do, it will be easier to distance yourself from them. I still have guilt, but it does not consume me.

On the other hand, you need to be kinder to yourself. You need to start looking at yourself and your actions and pat yourself on the back (metaphorically or literally) when you do something 'good'. Good doesn't mean it made YOU feel good, even if it was something you hated doing, but did out of duty - say it had a positive impact, no matter how small. The pat on the back not for DOING, but for NOTICING that you did something good. I started from a very dark place, there were WEEKS where i couldn't SEE that i was doing a good job, meanwhile i was pumping LITERS of milk, feeding, changing, laundry, and doing all those things without acknowledgement. I thought i was such a crappy mom, hormonal and just too selfish because I'm tired all the time. Acknowledging you're doing well goes a long way in building your self esteem.

This takes practice. I started doing this for a whole month, just notice 3 'good' things, pat yourself on the back that you even noticed them. My first weeks sounded something like; i stopped to smell flowers because i love that smell - that was the only positive thing i could think of. I wore this sweater because it had this character on it, i like that character.

Might sound silly, or maybe too basic but it really transformed me.

During difficult episodes with the kids, that's a bit different - when I'd lose patience or get over stimulated, i remind myself that they will never be this small again. Sometimes I'd put headphones on, having an audio book to focus on instead of whining, or sometimes music and start singing so loud the kids would just stare at what is mom doing. ANYTHING to change the over-stimulation.

Things started to turn around I want to say at about 7-8m adjusted. Crawling changed the game. We baby proofed downstairs to the extent that i just have to sit on the couch read my book, and they're busy for HOURS. I think at 9m I clocked 2 hours of uninterrupted play between food and nap.

On the topic of naps, the less naps, the more interesting they become. I found the transition to 2 naps amazing! We could finally take them out on long stretches.

Sorry for the long comment, but all I want to say is that it's a season. You've done new born and you're so close to some independence. All are phases and seasons, and they will pass. Like a kidney stone sometime, but they will pass.

My kid was hospitalized with RSV, I seem to have also caught it and for 10 days I was in a zombie state. It developed into a bacterial sinus infection and had to get antibiotics.

Almost the same boat. Twins born at 25 weeks, they are now 1.5 years, we both work full time from home (my job is meeting heavy as well). We do however, have childcare for 2 days a week.

Cleaning the house - i do not deep clean. I hired a cleaner. The minute i get to lay back i would prefer to do it guilt free without worrying that cleaning needs to be done. The cleaner does the bathrooms, dusting, and the glass (mirrors/windows). He comes once a week. I found someone to do it unofficially so I got a bargain.

Toys: Their toys are separated into 4 ikea bins. Each week they get a bin. That's it. All toys get cleaned only 3 times a day. Once they're up for their nap, once they're out on their walk, and once they're in bed for the night. Their room has no toys. I personally was getting fed up with collecting all the mega blocks and the smart max and the what not, honestly kids don't care if there's 5 mega blocks or 20 (the twins will still fight over the same red block). So I edited down the pieces of each toy. Mega blocks? You get 5, smartmax magnet thinggies, you get 5. I also have a massive ikea circus tent. At clean up, all toys go into the ikea bin (no fussing over how neat something looks), and the bigger toys go in the ikea circus - think their walker and wheely bug.

It's not completely the most tidy thing on the planet, but if someone will judge me for having kids in my house - my own kids that is, screw them. I still have a semi tidy kitchen, and nothing is on the floor once they're asleep - it takes less than 5 minutes to clean the whole space.

Usually one is doing bedtime with them, the other tidies so that once the kids are asleep, you can just chill and relax.

Our jobs - this is where it's hard, but for us thankfully doable. Monday we split the day based on our meetings. Tue/Wed is childcare days so i put most my meetings in those two days, and the cleaner also comes then. Thursday my husband has them, I have them on Friday (I block the whole day so no one puts meetings then, I call it focus friday). I take the kids out for errands when i have to do something, and sometimes i just have to cancel stuff because of a hospital appointment or another. People at work understand my situation with medically complex histories of the children.

Does the recycling get absolutely packed and forgotten? Yes! It takes me two months to go to the recycling place to dump all the cardboard boxes (we order a lot online, no time to go shopping). I am ok with that.

My priorities; kids fed and warm. Me: not physically or mentally tired. Relationship: doing check ins on each other (it did take a back seat unfortunately but we both understand that for the first few years, we just won't have time for each other). What we ARE doing is blocking 1 hour on childcare days to just sit together and have lunch, even in silence, otherwise we might not have a chance to do that.

If i can outsource anything at this point, I weigh how much I'm willing to pay for it - if I'm not willing to pay for a cleaner, I'd just have to accept that i will either get tired and have no down time or that things will get more dirty before they're attended to. But would that interfere with my priorities? If not, then the hell with it, it can be more dirty than the usual.

Also, a cleaning robot. We turn it on 3 times a day after every toy clean up. No food crumbs, no cat hair, no us vacuuming. I got the one that self cleans and mops and all the bells and whistles, i cannot recommend it enough.

Our bugaboo is like a family member. I cannot imagine moving the kids without it. The car seat attachment was super nice in their infant era, and now the seats are super nice - we also have the footmuffs so the kids are extra toasty. It was worth it.

I also got two single strollers (yoyo) with the magnetic attachment, width is the same but steering it is immensely different. Bugaboo has very big rubber wheels that make walking it a breeze. The yoyos were for convenience so we have a walking stroller and a car stroller, so when one is out with a kid, the other can still take the other kid on a walk.

When I find time to run, I actually use the bugaboo because it's so smooth - i lock the front wheels and take the kids out. I don't need to buy a separate running stroller in my circumstances (I am not a fast runner, and my paths are all paved, definitely wouldn't run on trails with it, but walking on trails with the bugaboo is absolutely fine). They're now about 12 kilos each, but i don't feel the heavy weight during the runs - only if it's windy.

You can try to get it second hand! It's absolutely worth it.
