Who would of thought that having twins could be so much work?! My husband had used up all his time off of work while we were at the hospital, so when we got home I was pretty much on my own. My husband worked nights, so my mom, bless her heart, came over that first week to help me through the nights. I never knew that someone could run off of only four hours of sleep a night! And my husband was feeling it through the day. Nothing got done around the house, the place was a wreck and the laundry was piled high. It was babies 24/7 not to mention that they still had oxegen and monitors that they had to wear all the time. And those monitors went off not stop! It became a normal thing to have to wake the baby up to get him to start breathing again, and when they were both going off at the same time it was seeing how fast you could move. It wasn't until about six months that I finally got a good nights sleep and they were doing really good at sleeping through the night. Well my husbands shift changed and so they learned that daddy was home and if they woke up he would be right there to take care of them. So needless to say they went from sleeping all night with no bottles to waking up 3 times a night for bottles. Very furstrating! This went on until they were just over a year old until I finally got my husband to let them scream it out. I'll tell you one thing it's amazing what a baby can sleep through. William has a very high pitched scream that could wake up the neighborhood and Jaxon would be sound a sleep in his crib across the room. Jaxon started sleeping though the night long before William. But I am proud to say that they both have learned to sleep through the night and so as a result to them sleeping through the night now we get to sleep through the night and it's the best thing in the world!
