2.5 weeks of having babies at home

it's still so incredible and fantastic to have my very own babies. i'm sure it'd be mind-blowing if i had 1 baby, but 2?!? it feels so surreal at times. well, really it's most times.

we've had a great 2 weeks though! a lot has happened and not happened too. like meals and showers, lmao! but i've managed and so had HunHun. he's been an awesome help and is doing so well w/ the boys. he's been telling his friends, "it's like seeing someone for the first time and automatically falling in love w/ them". it makes me smile that he says and feels that. he's been a champ at being daddy since the hospital stay. i'd BF and he'd change diapers, swaddle and put back to sleep. here at home, he's taken to helping me w/ 1 baby when he's home. especially at night, he takes one and i take one. when he sees i've got bottles to wash and prep, he'll do that, while i tend to the babies or prep the diaper caddy. he's such a help and i can tell, he does it for the babies and b/c he doesn't want me to do too much and get overwhelmed.

i do get sad / down when he gets frustrated at night. i know it's just b/c he's tired and mid-sleep, b/c in the morning he's chipper and happy again and the night doesn't seem to matter, but it gets to me that he's not more patient. but then again, he's not the patient kind, so i guess it's expected.

the boys...
they're doing fabulous. they're so delicious and yummy and big and strong! i love to hold them and kiss them on their neck and let them hold my finger while i bottle feed. i had to stop pumping b/c it was taking too much outta me. i hate to say it and even feel guilty b/c i wanted to give them BM as much as possible, but w/ pumping, it was like doing 3 feedings every couple of hours. i built a bit of a stash and i'll go through that. but the days i BF'd both boys was beautiful and i'll never forget it.

they are both up to 7 lbs as of their 2 week appointment! and yesterday was my due date!! i can't even believe how quickly the 40 weeks (plus the IVF time) went by rather quick.

uh-ohs.. i have one of my little sea monkeys calling out from the swing!
