Today was so much fun with the twins! We have been pushing Petra to spend longer and longer periods of time on her belly to gain strength and develop those tummy-time skills. She did such a good job today~ she usually complains after a minute or two, but had at least two 5-6 minute sessions today. The two of them spent a lot time in their bumbo chairs playing with toys and that is so much fun to watch! Also, I have been so excited to try spoon- feeding them. Not quite sure if they are ready, but I tried to put some runny cereal in Jude's mouth and let me tell you~ pure entertainment! You should have seen his face! He wouldn't really open his mouth much at all, and squinted and scrunched up his face. Not too interested today, but he will be soon. They will be five months old next week!
I often think about how far I have come since the birth. I was truly tore up. After loosing so much blood, I was soo weak and that was extremely frustrating. So many days I felt like "I can't function without Vanda." She was doing EVERYTHING. She cooked all our meals and cleaned the house on top of loving the twins and meeting their every need with me all day long. It was hard for me to need someone else so badly to help me care for my babies~ I wanted to do it all, like any mother would. But their lives were SO enriched by having Vovo here for so long. My life too. Now I feel so much better physically. The pain lingered for several weeks, as did the fatigue. But now they sleep through the night except for one feed and that makes me less of a zombie.
