All About My Multiples: Pregnancy & Birth

my twins were born at 37 weeks by c-section. we planned after 8 years to have "1 more baby" and got this joyous suprise!

I had a wonderful, very large pregnancy and the girls were 6 pound 14 ounces and 5 pounds 12 ounces! they were perfect!

what joy they continue to give our family of all girls! older sisters are 13 and 10!

My Multiples Are Special Because...

the relationship between them is wonderful to watch! Ava is the leader, although Olivia lets her know when she's had enough! we are always asked if they are identical, which is funny because we think they look completely different! Like chocolate and vanilla, they are more than twins. to us they are to beautiful girls who happen to share the same birthday in the same year! We try to nurish their special bond, but let them know they are special in their own way!

Advice

  • schedule their feeding and naps at the same time! it took us about 8 months, but well worth it! A good routine also helps, and a great sense of humor!
