I know it’s been more then a year since I updated my site and I am truly sorry about that.
Let me give you a breakdown of what has happened in 2015.
I gave birth to two healthy baby girls in August. Baby A was 6 lbs. and 5 oz. and Baby B was 6 lbs. and 1 oz. They are my blessing from god!. However, It’s been unbelievably hard with twins. Working full time and taking care of them is hard. I know it was all worth it in the end of the day.
My pregnancy was great beside the first 16 weeks. I had the worse morning sickness ever! I would feel sick the whole day and at 6 pm when I got home from work I would just go to sleep since that’s the only thing that made me feel better.
Around 20-28 weeks was the best time for me. I was half way and I was still not too big.Once I got to the 30th week that’s when I felt heavy and extra hot.
I delivered my babies at 38 weeks and 5 days, which my doctor couldn’t believe I went that far. I didn’t give birth naturally since baby A was breached, therefore, I had a C-section. Of course, I had epidural, which gave me a bad reaction. The nurse said you get a feeling back into your legs within an hour. I couldn’t feel them for over 3. My husband and my mom were getting scared that something could of gone wrong. Well thank god after few more hours I started feeling my legs.
My legs were also super swollen for over 2 weeks, when I returned home. They were so big that my skin around my ankles started cracking.
The first month me being home with the girls was extremely hard. When I say extremely I mean EXTREMELY. I didn’t sleep and if I did it was only 2-3 hours a day.
Thank god my mom was there to help me.
I did breast feed the girls as much as I could since by 2nd month I was limited on how much milk I could give them. I wasn’t producing enough but I didn’t give up I only recently, completely stopped. I gave them as much as milk as I could and the rest was formula.
My husband and I have been having issues since he doesn’t help at all. I mean at ALL. For the last 7 months he maybe only changed 5 diapers and can’t be with them longer then 5-10 minutes. I expected him not to help so much but not to this point. It’s been really hard on me but I been trying to hang in for the girls.
Otherwise, everything is good. I am very thankful I have two girls who will help me once they get a little older.
-Hope.
