this pic just came up in my screen saver... and it brings back the most amazing feelings.

Eat them up while you can... those first few days with them- realizing you have TWO little newborns to care for and love... they are so sweet and snuggly and have a special smell you'll never smell again... You have no worries but taking care of them while in the hospital - it was so wonderful...

i wouldn't trade them for who they are now- but i would love another 5 minutes with this picture in real life.

.....and four years from now, you'll wish you had the moments back you have now.  I honestly remind myself of this daily and it makes me slow down and enjoy what I have now.  : )  It is what keeps me sane in the most demanding part of my day.

totally. I think having DS1 really taught me a lot ... to NOT always be trying to move forward with them... enjoy it all - we've got time to get to the "big boy" stuff... now it's just so fun to have 2 little 2yos who are insane and adorable every second, even when they are being naughty

*Heart melting* I loved how tiny they were and I'm totally with you on wanting another five minutes or so with those tiny little beings. I love the stage they're at right now but I definitely miss those early days and the newborn cries.

So cute. I still have to remind myself to slow down with them. I am so happy they are finally doing things that I forget they are my last little ones and I will never have a six month old baby again. Need to stop and smell the roses a bit

Sweet post Amazing how fast it flies. When the babies were newborns, a woman at my church grabbed my arm one day and intently said to me "just remember, Mom, they will never again be as little as they are today."

That has stuck with me for nearly a year, and I sometimes find myself repeating it in my own head on the tougher days. A good reminder to stay in the moment and soak it up.

BINGO-I just want time to stop....even if it's hard right now.  They are perfect!

 On a side note, I don't know how you do it with three boys.  My girls are so quiet and can be content on watching Jack's Big Music Show or playing with blocks or the kitchen stuff but, here comes Hudson, towering over the blocks and it makes both of them cry.  Then, he just giggles while they sit there crying.  LOL-Boys are so different than girls.....they really are.

yeah, they sure are

if i don't hear screaming, crying and fighting - i think something is wrong they are constantly messing with each other... but also are very loving, too... but rarely quiet lol.

People think I am crazy because I loved my hospital stay.

 

I got to cuddle with my boys all day long and didn't have to change a single diaper

Dh and I didn't want to leave! LOL.  We missed our older son- but were so sad to leave the hospital... having meals brought to us (or at least me)... help from nurses... babies went to the nursery at night... nothing to do but lay around with the babies... watch TV... nap... it was awesome

This, especially since they will probably be our only children.

Aww, that post got me teary. Then I got to looking at my hospital pictures and cried for the last 5 minutes. *sniff* You are so right. That was the most amazing feeling. They were finally here. Love love.

Us too!  I visited a friend in the hospital who just had her baby when my girls were 6 months.  I asked how they were doing and she said "We're just dying to get home...you know?"

  - that was my face.  I told her that I loved my hospital stay!  My doctor was going to send me home a day early and I asked her to keep me one more night (insurance covered it)!!!!  The nurses were so helpful, food was brought to me, the babies were peaceful..........bliss!

This post almost makes me think of what it will be like to be a grandma to an extent (all of the snuggles, none of the "work").

I totally agree with it going by too fast.  I really have a hard time with them growing up, I think it would be easier if at times we could relive moments here and there.  I wish I could redo the NB thing again but better.  I knew how fast it went since I had DS1 and I was still in survival mode with the twins instead of trying to cherish as many moments as possible (even the screaming ones).

Aww

P.S. My babies had the same blankets in the hospital!
