Yet another newbie

Hi all,
My wife and I moved to England 2 1/2 years ago and thought ... wouldn't it
be nice to have A kid while we're here?. We ended up having twin girls 10
weeks too early. This was a really traumatic time for us. And, it was
compounded by the fact that we were thousands of miles away from our family.

The good news is that even though the hospital wasn't as spotless or as well
appointed as we were accustomed to in California, the care was superb. And,
all of the care givers there have become our extended family.

We are finding life really difficult with 2 babies. And, some days are
better than others. As well as multiple birth parents, I hope to be able to
share with other parents of premature twins experiences that must be common
to us all.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Hello, and welcome.
My twin girls were born at full term in December 2003. They are almost six
months old now. I know how difficult it is with two babies, and I have a
three year old thrown into the mix as well. Everyone tells me that it does
get easier, so I am just waiting for that to happen.

Hi Scott,

I can imagine how you felt. I am Panama, lived for
a long while in Texas .. and now I am living in
Holland where my twins girls were borned 3 weeks
early.

Medicine and hospitals, are completely different than
where you and I are from .. but the same way ... people
was very nice and caring here too.

I advised you and your wife to communicate good about
how you feel .. even if you are feeling horrible .. keeping
things from each other ... it doesnt help. No matter how
hard it gets with the babies, if you guys are strong, you guys
will survive all the sleepless nights, crying, everything ..

How are the babies doing? Any problems?

Greetings to your wife,

Mirethy

Hi Scott, and welcome!

We also have twin girls who were preemies (14 weeks early), so I know
what you're going through -- although I can't imagine going through
that without family nearby.

How are your girls doing now? Hang in there.... it really does get
easier. You couldn't pay me to go through those first weeks/months at
home again. Now that mine are 14 months, they're getting to be quite a
lot of fun (still a lot of work, though, but at least we get plenty of
sleep :-)

Welcome to the group and congratulations on your girls!
