Twins.... At home.... Now what!?

I believe bringing home a baby is an adjustment for anyone. For a first time mom and dad, it can be a BIG adjustment! BUT.... with two, that is an understatement! HA! Bringing home one baby and leaving one was an extremely hard thing to do, but it also gave John and I the ability to get used to having a baby at home before there were TWO at home! :)
The NICU did an excellent job of getting our girls used to sleeping with noise around them and in rooms that are not completely dark. They also had these ladies on a routine that helped John and I tremendously when we brought them home.
One major adjustment that we dealt with was not having the monitors to tell us what our babies were doing. We were very fortunate that our girls came home wireless (with no monitors),but we grew accustomed to being able to see that how fast our girls were breathing, what their oxygen levels were, and what their heart rates were.
Sticking to a routine was key in caring for 2 babies! John and I would prepare all of their bottles and stick them in the fridge for easy handling when needed. We kept a log of when the babies ate, how much they ate, when they slept, and when they went to the bathroom. We had a little assembly line of things we needed to give baths, get diapers changed, change clothes, etc. Being organized like this made it easier for me to care for the girls by myself when John was at work.
One of the things that we did a couple of weeks after we came home was get newborn photos taken. While they girls were not newborns, they were still smaller than most newborns were and still hadn't hit their due date! Charlotte came home weighing 4lbs 13oz and Aubrey came home weighing 4lbs 2oz. Our photographer did an amazing job and even found a box with our last name on it to use as a prop to pose my sweet angels in!
