Congratulations
Your photos bring back memories from only a few years ago.
I have twin boys that will be soon five. (Time has just gone soooo quick since then) They were premi & airlifted to Sydney Womans Hospital by Childflight & Careflight from Wollongong a day after birth. They spent a few months in Sydney pulled through at the amazement of their doctors.
My wife went back to teaching when they were 9 mths old (I reckon not for the money but to get out of the house). At that stage I took over as Mr Mum.
A very special time! (As you can then do as YOU Want. Not as you are told.) The boys have been travelling about with me to solicitors, banks, accountants and building sites since then. As well as Gymbaroo, music lessons, playgroup, and other events.
As well since they were young I have been fortunate in being able to take just one away at a time on trips. This allows a real special "one on one" time and gives my wife a break from one of the boys as well as me. They have been to Sydney heaps, Melbourne, Hunter Valley, numerous trips down to Ulladulla etc, etc, etc. (More travelled at 4 then I was at 20)
(Actually heading away this weekend to Batemans Bay with one of them)
When they are babies it can be hard. If difficult bubs they may feed at different times, and wake at different times in the night. Sleep depravation is what I found the hardest part. Then isolation when my wife went back to work and i had the constant feeding, cleaning, washing, nappy changes etc. But now almost 5 years later it was all just a blur.
Certainly something i would not have missed.
Fortunately I was able to fit them in with doing some property stuff.
With having been so involved they are already saying they are going to build houses to sell like dad.
It can be hard on yourself & the marriage. But before you know it the little guys will be little boys.
Congratulations
Best Wishes to you and your wife; it is a special time,
Keep Sane
