Ah, stories that are so unfunny at the time can end up as the very best stories afterwards. That’s great! Ah, stories that are so unfunny at the time can end up as the very best stories afterwards.

My husband will love it. When our twins were infants, (5 quick years ago) for a while, I had to pump the breast milk in the middle of the night, add calorie rich formula to each one every 2 1/2 - 3 hours throughout the night and then my husband and I would each pick a baby to feed. He always picked the one that drank faster. :) Diapers? ooohh I hate to admit it, but if they weren't soaked through or oozing, I just waited till the next feeding. (of course that can backfire) Although you didn't ask me, Cailan, :) I hope you don't mind if I offer twin advice, too. When I was overtired and they were crying, I often just laid my head down over them and thanked God for them, for their health and for the double blessing. God is so good to us! :) Soo funny to read this cute story. My husband will love it.

I laughed so hard at that one!!! I haven't had twins (3 babies in 3 years felt pretty close though) but my brothers are twins and I can remember helping my mom with them (they're 5 years younger than I). Great story, thanks for sharing. HAHAHAHA!!! I laughed so hard at that one!!!

We have twins, and an almost identical experience happend to us during those early days - minus my husband pacing in the hall. He just woke up and started burping an imaginary baby. Twins do take both parents - even if one of them is asleep! :-) Thanks for sharing! You had me laughing out loud!

Once when our youngest was only a month old or so he commented in the morning, "Wow! He slept through the night last night!" That shocked me since I had watched my same husband get up that night, change diapers, and return the newborn to the crib, while carrying on a short conversation with me! It's amazing any of us survive childhood! My husband also used to change the newborn’s diaper after our middle-of-the-night feedings.
