First Month with Twins

(July 17 – August 17)

Our first month together has taught me…

The NICU gets your babies on a great schedule, you just have to stick to it.
They eat 3-4 oz.every 4 hours on the dot.

How to bottle feed two babies at one time.

How to carry two carriers with one arm to make it possible to hold Ledger’s hand or open doors.

It’s much nicer to have the attention from strangers focused on the babies, rather than a huge pregnant stomach.
People love talking about twins.

One of the kids is going to have to cry at times. That’s life with only two hands, and three kids two years apart.

You fall in love with your husband more and more every time he helps with night time feedings.

And most of all, I love having three boys in the home more than I thought I would.

    Rock on! I love the updates. You are doing a fabulous job as a family. Nice work Pat, with twins it definitely takes 2.

    Keep being an amazing family and love on those 3 boys as much as possible.

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
