Holding hands
At 4 months plus, they still cannot seems to recognise or play with each other. I capture this pic of them holding hands when Di-di (the one on the left carried by kakak) wanted to hold Kor-kor’s hand while watching TV. Although the boys are entering their 5th month, my days with them are getting more difficult.
Our mornings
Between 4-5am, both of them will start to cry, wanting to me to pacify them all time. Not that they are hungry but plainly sucking for comfort. Since I can only lie down and turn one side, hubby would have to wake up and carry the other crying one downstairs so that he would not wake his brother. We usually ended up not having enough sleep, even though on weekends.
Our evenings
The boys now recognice faces. So guess who is the victim? The boys only allowed MUMMY to carry them from 6pm evening onwards, and the one carried by Kakak will keep on crying and fussing until we have to keep on switching carrying them *priority will be given to the noisiest baby*. By the time hubby returns at about 7.30pm, they totally do not want Kakak anymore!
How our dinner looks like
When we eat our dinner, I would carry one while one will be screaming away in Kakak’s hand. Initially they would want hubby, but after a while, they will search for Mummy again. *sigh…hot and sweaty liao*
How I look like by 8pm
I am totally wet with sweat after gobble down my dinner plus carrying the boys, alternately each time (depending on who cries louder) jumping here and there as they do not allow me to sit down. I tell you, these 2 monsters really makes me go bonkers (that also I belum cerita about QQ who needs my attention too, especially when it comes getting her to eat her dinner!). Thinking of going slim? I think this will work even better than the best diet pill in town.
Parenting twin can really makes one go gila! I wish they would soon be able to play with each other so they can leave me alone. Anyone out there still wish for twin babies after reading what I have to go through?
I really can imagine what you are going through! My lil one also only wants me all the time - pening man!
I understand how u suffering now….last time even with one bb, I also feel
difficult to handle, go toilet must in speeding mode. Susah la.
Yeah wait til they grow older then you’ll have more of your own time!
Gosh, you reminded me of my early days with breastfed babies who refused to let go of mommy, but with 2, it’s more work!
Hang in there, they will grow up pretty soon…(time flies fast mah)
I feel what you gone thru as my lil doesn’t wants his dad…only me..me..me..
but most of time i let him cry by daddy’s side till i finish up my stuff..
after while if he doesn’t see me..he is OK and playing with his daddy but
once he saw..die lor..start his engine again…
Can’t imagine me handling twins. Pengsan lor. I’m a lot luckier in a sense that Ryan would wake up for his milk at about 5am to 7am and then would get back to sleep most of the time. Your dinner scene sounds familiar except that I only have one to handle. He wouldn’t let us sit still. Since 2 days ago, we have started to put him sitting on his own on his highchair and so far, (touch wood) ok.
For him, mommy is to put him to sleep. Nothing daddy can do except when mommy not around. Daddy is to change diaper and feed. He has already allocated the assignments to both of us. No choice, just got to abide for now…
Adoi…. really not easy with twins!!!! I read your post also feel tired already…
Btw, that’s such a nice & sweet photo of them holding hands!
oh I’ve been through that too, just that yours is double of it… I so do understand the “cannot sleep, cannot eat” in peace… do hang in ya…
hahhahaa….this is really funny. sorry don’t mean to laugh at you but the way you described it is really amusing. poor thing…everyone only wants mummy
WAKAKAKAKKA..by end of day, you’re bathed in sweat?
I on the other hand, am bathed in SALIVA and VOMIT!
WAKAKAKAKAKAAK!! Hang in there ChinNee

Wah your boys demand you so much. Hopefully when they start to cruise around you can take a breath then.
Twins is nice to look at and play and I agree that taking care is really no joke lor! Salute you Chin Nee. It may seemed like forever but I believe things can only get better soon! Btw your boys getting more and more handsome by the day!! I “chup” them in case I get a girl the next time ok!
i totally understand what u’re going thru. my twins r at 10 weeks now, i am going thru exactly what u’re going thru now. my babies were born premature at 33weeks, their stomach’s r not fully developed, they can only take about 2oz every 2 hrs, so i am also going thru hell, between feeding and expressing and taking care of my 2 yr old son. i recently introduced them to the pacifier, it really helped a lot.don’t u just feel like smacking the next person who comes up to u and says “wah, so nice u hv twins, i wish i had also”
i like the picture of them holding each other’s hand. I tot you make them hold purposely! anyway thanks for linking me up here!
i’m at the edge of my 1st trimester with twins now and i really love reading your blog. it gives me an idea of what to expect when my twins are out come May next year. i hope i have sufficient time to be physically & mentally prepared. nevertheless, i’m still looking forward to the arrival of my twins, although secretly, i dread to forgo my freedom. i have lots of questions to ask those experience mothers with twins, i hope we can chat through yahoo messenger or msn. if u can, please add me. my id is the same for both msn & ym. tq!
… it’s inevitably a taxing job being a mommy but it also comes with a beatiful and priceless experience.. at the end of the day, you look at them you know all your hardwork is worthwhile ke…
but…but… but….they are so CUTE wor…
U r doing a wonderful job. Just remember, whatever u do..it is appreciated and not put to waste. *hugs*
Jia You.!
I hope to get twins in the future minus the taxing activity (if possible)…hehe.. i love your blog and the twins of course…
Haiii, being a mother of 2 as me is not easy, but seeing this post, I know that being a mother for twins is double the stress… Good luck mommy and take care!
With 1 clingy boy who oni wants Mommy, I oso beh tahan edi. Luckily XY can ‘kau timm’ herself, altho she does crave for attn sometimes. So I can imagine how crazy it can be over at ur side.
i love the photo with them holding hands. so cute!
and i can feel your stressfulness. with only one baby also sometimes i wanna pengsan. i dunno how you handle two! and yeah, breastfeeding can be a problem when both wants mummy at the same time.
a nice capture!
you are a wonderful mom, keep up the good work!
take rest while you have chance…
Oh, they look so lovely together..
now i can imagine how hard is it for my mom to raise me and my twin sister and my other 4 siblings.
this is very cute and so lovely!!!
u will ths “sticky” moments when they turn to teenagers. hahaha… don’t we all? stick susah, don’t stick also susah, so make the best of it lah! hahaha!
so cute le ur boys!
i meant to write … u will MISS these “sticky” moments
Err…I still want twins wor, despite what you are going through. Hehe..coz can really close shop if get twins.
You’re doing a fabulous job, CN!!! Just think, you will be so proud of them one day and you will be so proud of yourself then, and it will all be worth it. This is only temporary….
