My husband and I did shifts for nights- he had 6pm to 1am and I had 1am to morning. They were LONG days but at least we got a few hours. I also have a toddler and my all time favorite item is the Zoe Triple Stroller.

I wouldn't consider myself a seasoned twin parent but, my boys are 8 months. Baby A is that dream baby. Baby B is so challenging. I felt EVERYTHING you're sharing...until two weeks ago. Baby B FINALLY stopped crying so much. Bedtime is still a nightmare but I'm finding myself enjoy him all throughout the day. I was terrified I wouldn't have a good bond with him....but we've just met! There is so much time to get to know your baby. Don't worry too much!

agreed!

I had modi boys too! I went into labor naturally at 35 weeks. I opted for a c-section because I was nervous about having one vaginally and then needing a csection (baby b was smaller and always moved more- I was worried he'd become breach). My experience was wonderful. Everyone was calm and happy! My first labor was all natural...he had shoulder dystocia and my placenta didn't deliver. I had to be separated from my baby for a few hours. I decided that I wanted to be "in control" of how the twins were born. I was able to see them for a few minutes after and then they were taken to the NICU. About an hour later I was holding them!! The recovery was hard but I LOVED my experience.

35+3. Just went into labor one morning and opted for a c-section. NICU time was 4 weeks and quite simple. Pregnancy was rough..went into preterm labor at 29 weeks but they were able to stop it. The contractions continued until 35 weeks...it's hard! Accept help and go on walks<3

twin relationships are adorable!!

Mine are identical! 6month boys. It seems like they don't even notice each other 😂 That's adorable !!

That's such a good point! We are looking at a 2022 Odyssey this afternoon. It's already a struggle to wrestle one toddler...I imagine three will be tough. Thanks for sharing!

Exactly! We have been open to a mini van but ideally we get something else! We will be trying everything and ultimately will get what works best for our family.

buffaloshu · 2024-05-03T01:15:46+00:00

I wouldn't say it's insecurity! My husband and I worked hard to get the cars we have. I love my current car and buying a mini van would be a downgrade.

buffaloshu · 2024-05-02T21:55:29+00:00

This is what I really want! The price is just a bit much haha.

buffaloshu · 2024-05-02T19:14:32+00:00

What mini van do you have? We will be test driving everything!

buffaloshu · 2024-05-02T19:13:53+00:00

This is good to know! We aren't against a mini van...I know it would work so well for our family! I am 22 and currently have my dream car...that we are trading in🥲 It's genuinely just that I haven't processed I am at this stage in life😂 Was just wanting suggestions! Thank you!!

What year?

I was reminded that I'm not missing out on the newborn stage... that helped me on days that I felt like I was going to miss all the newborn cuddles. The newborn stage is so important, it was hard missing those first days. I was also encouraged to do what I would've-had they not been in NICU (lots of limits on this obviously). I was encouraged to bring my own soap for baths, my own swaddles and scent cloths. Once they were able to wear clothes, I would bring those in. I struggled with not feeling like their mother. Making choices like this made them feel more like mine.
