2 months old
Things are going really well the girls are 8lbs 6 oz now but they are still small to be 2 months old. But they have doubled their birth weight. My main complaint is still sleep deprivation. I was so close to a melt down the other day...not good. Now that they are getting older they have their good days and their bad days as far as sleep is concerned. I have been leaving out alot more market, aapointments, etc. But it is still a chore. I dont think I will ever be able to leave out of the house with them alone. I have to have somebody with me, its just too hard. London and Sydney draw alot of attention, I guess its the twin thing but that doesnt make it any less annoying but my skin is getting tougher. People are just amazed by them. God they are so beautiful. Sometimes I just sit here and stare at them.
Their personalities are definitely different. London is wakeful, she makes eye contact trys to coo. She is my night owl. She loves to stay up at night. Sydney is a different story. Oh the Drama when it comes to that baby. She is very needy. But she sleeps at night unlike her big sister. She also tries to grab things if you put them in her face, London just cries. Their eating habits have flipped. Sydney used to be my big eater but now its London, they are drinking 4 oz but I am thinking about taking Sydney back down to 3oz because she always leaves an ounce and as I said in a previous post the formula they take is quite expensive.
I love these little girls, even though I am physically drained and sleep deprived. But at the end of the day it is so worth it :-)

6 weeks old
Sydney Darlene Boone is now 6lbs 13oz
London Earlene Boone is now 6lbs 12 oz
Geez its been 2 weeks since I updated, I guess time just got a way from me. Lets see I am sleep deprived. I am so tired that I cant believe I am still function. I was up for 3 days erlier this week. They were on the same schedule but now the girlies are flip flopping. Poor Babe he tries to help as much as he can but he cant multi-task like me.I have mastered tandem nursing, I dont even need help anymore. I can bottle feed and burp both of them at one time. I can hold one while changing the other, I am amazed at all the things I can do. Anyway I probably sleep for 2 or 3hrs a night but not all at once. They sleep well during the day but then all of the boys are woke. I just want to add that being a twin mommy isnt all that bad, its just hard trying to function normally when you are so sleep deprived.
London : She is my wakeful baby. Always looking around, very content. Until nightfall, Im hoping she doesnt have colic. She cries for about 4hrs very night. She is inconsolable. Now its crazy cause at first Sydney was the crying baby but they have switched on me. She loves to eat but I guess she thinks shes cute cause she will eat a few ounces, take a break and then wake up fussing for the rest. I call her ''The Diva'', she has a very demanding cry. She has dimples and these beautiful big brown eyes.
Sydney : She is definitly the baby. She is so needy. I call her ''The Drama Queen''. Yes she is a drama queen at 6 weeks old. Oh she gives a stellar Osccar worthy performance. I mean tears and everything. She has dimples also. She is a big eater, that baby can suck a 3 oz bottle down in like a minute. She has these big beautiful, brown eyes, just like her big sister. She sleeps like an angel.
Sometimes a look at them and I cant believe how beautiful they are. They always have appointments, they keep me up all night and day but it is all worth it.
