Which one is low maintenance?

This is the way to have twins. One doesn't require any work at all. I keep the one on the right around because it's too easy with just one baby. (ha, ha!)

Actually Braden is a pretty mellow baby. He seems even easier after having the experience of newborn twins. When I think he's not feeding enough or I'm not changing enough diapers, I have to remember I'm comparing those tasks for two babies. The nursing part is considerably easier but slower(for me) in the losing weight department, although I can fit into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes.

Braden hit a whopping 7 pounds as of today. He's been slow to gain weight due to burning more energy nursing than a larger baby, but needs to nurse in order to eat, so it's kind of a Catch-22 situation. So we've tried to get him to just eat and sleep and be a sloth because it's the only time it will be good for him to just lie around and gain weight. Enjoy it while you can kid!

  1. He is such a cutie and sooo tiny--I swear pictures can't capture the true tiny-ness! I am in awe that you are back in pre-preg clothes. I am on Braden's eat and sleep and be a sloth plan and it's not helping my waistline. (As if I had a waistline.)
