Madilyn and Spencer are 4 weeks and 2 days old, that amazes me!
Tuesday was my due date and it is so weird to think that our babies technically could have still been waiting to make their debut in this world.
It has been SO incredible to be a mommy. I genuinely love it. It hasn't been easy though.
Some nights (like last night) are very long and sometimes I have no idea how to soothe 2 crying babies.
It has been lots of work, but all the work is so rewarding.

My life has been changed drastically in countless, positive ways.
There are so many little things that happen that crack us up, make us smile, and wrap us
around those little babies' fingers every day.
Examples:
Madilyn going through 4 outfits in 20 minutes
Going through over 150 diapers in one week
Seeing Marty snuggled up with one/both of the babies
Realizing that I produce almost a half a gallon of milk every day - talk about feeling like a cow :)
Locking eyes with the babies and feeling like they know who I am
Spencer's wide smile and Madilyn's cute little grin
Being pooped and peed on in one diaper change
The hilarious noises that the babies make (Madilyn makes this awesome dolphin noise)
and much much more...
Here are pictures of them at 4 weeks old
Another thing that was interesting to me was looking back at my weekly pregnancy pictures and
seeing just how HUGE I was!!! Seriously, it amazes me.
I don't think I realized just how big my belly was while it was attached to me.
It makes sense though, considering I had
over 12 lbs of baby inside me.
Well, I decided to compile all of my weekly pregnancy pictures to see
the progression of my belly...it's pretty crazy!

The 11 week and 35 week pictures display the drastic change pretty well
CRAZY!!! It makes me really excited to be able to exercise and run again :)
And here are two more pictures of complete twin cuteness :)
Oh my gosh! They are so cute! I can't wait to meet them.
ReplyDeleteAwww!!! They are so precious! Congrats again and again and again! I am so happy that you are all healthy and surviving. Motherhood is such an adventure and you are going to evolve in so many glorious ways. I am so happy for you. I was telling my friend with triplets about you and she said if you EVER want to talk to someone who KNOWS what life with multiples is like email her (I will email it to you!)
ReplyDeleteI love this post! You sound like a rockstar! I am a mess with one brand new baby, can't imagine two. They are so stinking adorable, make me baby hungry...
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and seeing those beautiful babies! I may be asking for advice when I'm trying to soothe two screaming babies of my own ;)
ReplyDeletethey are SO cute! and so are you:)
ReplyDeleteit looks like you can soothe the babies pretty well to me! and WOW, good job on the all the leche!
Katy I think your blog should be famous so that anyone pregnant with Twins goes to your blog for inspiration! I also think your belly picture compilation should be on pinterest so the world repins such a cute idea. What a memory that will be to look back at. I'm so happy things are going so well including the nursing! I really feel like if anyone can handle two crying babies with a smile it would be you! They are the greatest new little babies and I can't wait to see them again! One day...
