My parents also said f we had been born as girls, we would've been named Bertrude & Gertrude.... imagine what our nicknames would've been, "Birdy & Girdy".

Well, I've been holding out. The twins were born. They were 2 months early, but were healthy and a pretty decent weight (4 lbs) for being that early. They spent a month in the NICU. Thank goodness for health insurance. They came home right before Christmas and are now 3 months old, and are around 10 lbs. We went with Leland and Delia for names, which are old family names. The toughest thing has been keeping up with all of our 8 year old's activities on top of having these 2 newborns in our house. It's been an emotional roller coaster at times. I just finished feeding one, which is why I'm up late.

Holy cow. I don't know how you guys (and your SO's) do it. I do a bit of single-parenting when my wife travels and it often knocks me on my ass. And I'm not outnumbered (unless the 22 y/o has drama - which can happen)

Good luck man. I never would have suspected all that.

Congrats 98!!

The hospital we were in had a little stocking cap knitted for every premie born in the month and there were at least 50 of them, seemingly. Absolutely crazy the amount of care they require, but (this is an unresearched opinion) equally as amazing is how good the NICU's are at caring for and ensuring survival of premies.

Glad your little ones are doing well and keeping you busy I'm sure!

My kiddo was born early too, but closer to 6 lbs. Glad to hear your little dude and dudette are doing great. I bet you're not sleeping. At all. Good luck to you!
