Jaden & Jaxson... TTTS survivors: TWINS... amaze me!

Things are still going wonderful with both the boys home!! They are both starting to get a lot of personality which is great to see. One thing I've realized is they both like to be in the same moods!! If one is hungry, the other will "get" hungry, if one is crying the other will join in, and if one decides to keep mom up all night the other wants in on it too!! It amazes me how they can change moods so fast just to be the same as each other. Jaxson follows Jaden's lead most of the time and I believe he is just trying to be like his big brother.

The weekend has been great so far!! Friday we hung out in they boys room for the day and they enjoyed it! I figured we spent the money for them to have a cute room they might as well spend some time in there. Mimi came and visited the boys yesterday before she left on the big camping trip. Both the boys were wide awake the whole time and loving the attention. Last night Dad got off work early so we watched a movie and let the boys just stay in the living room with us... BIG MISTAKE!!! I usually always move the boys into the bedroom after their 9:00 feeding and have story time and get them ready for bed and they sleep great through the night! Last night however... they didn't get moved into the bedroom until after midnight and they were not ready to go back to sleep. They were wide eyed and ready to play. I tried feeding them to get them sleepy again but they weren't having it. And of course they wouldn't just lay in their bed and be awake they had to be in bed with mom and dad. I left them in their bed at the beginning and Jaden started to cry a little so Jaxson joined in, then one would get a little louder so the other had to, they got each other so worked up all I could do is smile. what a crazy journey it is having twins!! They finally won me over and they got to stay in bed with us for awhile (turned into a few hours). They ate around 4:00 and finally went to sleep afterwards!! I was very exhausted this morning but as soon as they gave me their "good morning mommy" smiles my day was instantly better. It has been a lazy day so far since mom is very sleepy as are the boys! They did however have a good awake period this morning and enjoyed some tummy time. They are both getting stronger and doing much better.

Grandma Linda is starting to feed Jaxson some bottles so mom and dad can maybe get out and do something soon. He is doing great with his feedings and learning how to pace himself better. The only time his monitor beeps is at the very beginning when he gets going too fast and we just have to take the bottle out for a minute so he will catch his breath and slow down. Jaden of course has no problems with his bottles and takes them like he's never eaten before! Grandma Linda does great with the boys and I believe they will do just fine if mom and dad get away for a night!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and we will update again soon!!!

The boys were not ready for bed!! Thankfully this night they at least stayed in bed and eventually fell asleep!! They are pretty funny laying feet to feet cuz they love to kick each other and make sure the other is still there.
