::dos and don'ts take two::

DO
1. use Kate Quinn Organic long-sleeve kimono style onesies
2. use Swaddle Designs swaddling cloths
3. use Born Free bottles
4. use incline positioners if you have to simultaneous bottle feed twin babies
5. keep your cool even if both babies have pooped and are screaming to be fed at the same time!

DON'T
1. use lapneck onesie--babies do not like clothing pulled over their heads
2. steal the swaddling blankets from the hospital--you don't know where they've been
3. use Adiri Natural Nurser bottles--they leak out of both ends and the flow is way too fast for newborns
4. feed the babies flat on their backs--it gives them gasssssss and makes them crankyyyyyyy
5. call your husband an "idiot" just because he forgot to turn the dishwasher on!

::they're here::

I'm sure you've guessed by now--from my lack of posts--that our twins have arrived! C+C were born on Nov. 2nd at 12:18 PM and 12:19 PM via a scheduled c-section. They were 38-1/2 weeks in gestational age.

Both babies were born healthy and weighing in at 7 lbs each. Can you imagine??? Carrying 2 times the average-sized singleton baby??? Phew!

Now that I am no longer as big as a boat, the gawking has shifted towards the twins. Since architectdad and I are both germaphobes, it is taking all of our strength to stop ourselves from body blocking strangers from approaching our babies.

Our little O has been a curious and protective big sister. She is very proud to show off her new siblings, and is very worried when she sees one without the other. Let's hope the good will stays around :-)
