Our boys are very close to coming home. We've spent the whole summer waiting for their homecoming and we're finally starting to prep our home and our lives for 2 infants.
We spent a lot of quality time with Skylar and Leah and most recently went to chuckie cheese and cashed in almost 2,000 tickets that we had been saving for over a year. Ian and I went out on a date. We've tried to declutter and organize as much as possible. We've been stocking up on some things so that we won't have to worry about running out to get random things while we're adjusting to life with 4 kids.
It looks like the boys WON'T be coming home on oxygen but there's still a very good chance that they'll be on apnea monitors. At least one will come home in a carbed so we won't have the luxury of a snap and go type seat and stroller even if we did want to go somewhere.
Skylar starts school in a few days and Leah starts preschool 2 mornings a week so our outings will be limited to taking Leah to school, Skylar's football practice and games, and doctors appointments.
So, give me your best advice. Is there something you wish you would have done or did do to make it easier.
I plan to do nothing but nurse and sleep for the first few weeks. Ian said he will take over complete household duties, including most of the work for the older kids (at least when he's home from work).
Also, do you know of any good books for kids that talk about having twin siblings? Skylar has a pretty good grasp on what's happening but I think Leah is clueless. She was very jealous the last time she visited the boys and she couldn't sit on my lap. I don't think she thinks of them as real yet. Right now, they're just pictures and stories that I show her.
So, enough of my ramblings. Give me your best advice
