As you can imagine, life has been quite busy lately. Let's summarize it quickly: risk of pre-labor, Christmas in the hospital, back home, pre-labor, c-section, girls are born, both girls in the NICU, back to work, back to the hospital, ..., one girl goes home, the other stays, work-hospital-home, ...
and now both girls are home! :-)
Let me tell you. Taking care of one baby is really easy! At the end, everything goes back to Evolution. If the human race has survived for the last 2 million years, it's because taking care of babies is really simple.
Taking care of twins is a different matter. It's not impossible - if you are planning on having twins, don't let anybody scare you. However, it is much harder than having two kids of different ages. Just think about it. Sad enough, the synergies does not work in the early years. You need to feed both, put both to sleep, etc. every 3 hours. Every change will take 45 min per baby, what it means that you need 1h30 min to take care of both babies every 3 hours.
In addition to that you still need to eat, rest, watch TV :-) - Battlestar Galactica is in its last season - and so on.
Being a person that doesn't need to much sleep, I'm holding quite well. But I can undestand why other parents freak out!
Anyway, let me tell you, when you see one of my princess' smile, everything else goes away :-)
