A little history

I delivered twin girls by c-section on 1/21/08 at 37 weeks gestation. It took 12 weeks of bedrest plus one week of waiting after that. Yes, I was huge and uncomfortable! My girls were big for twins - 6 lbs 8 oz and 7 lbs 1 oz. The jury is still out on whether they are identical or fraternal - genetic test results are pending... I had every intention of breast-feeding them but unfortunately my body did not cooperate by producing sufficient milk. I plan to post more on that later! Prior to my bed-rest/delivery, I joined a local Mothers of Multiples group and it was probably one of my better decisions. I have made lots of contacts and have found the group to be very supportive. They also understand what I am going through. I am hoping that by spending a bit of time blogging that I will have an outlet to share my experiences and perhaps even help others who may become 'First Time Moms of Twins'.
