- The boys arrived at 37 weeks, term for twins, after 7 weeks of bed rest.
-I did not have to have a c-section.
-They did not have to spend any time in the NICU, they came home with us from the hospital.
-With the exception of one ear infection, a runny nose or two, and some strange rash they had for a month, the boys have been in very good health.
-They are good sleepers and nap takers.
-I have been able to stay home from work to be with them.
-Dan continues to have a job despite the economy around us.
-We have not had to buy diapers for our boys.
-We still have gift cards that we can use to buy things for the boys as needs arise.
-I was able to nurse them for 11 1/2 months.
Here are some pictures from the past year, it's amazing how fast they have grown!
