Co-sleeping

Prior to all the boys' complications, we had hoped our twins would co-sleep in the same crib, offering them the chance to cuddle up to each other for comfort. But instead, we got stuck with reflux x 2 and therefore they sleep harnessed in to a 30 degree wedge. Not so comforting. When we brought all the apparatus home from the hospital, we set them up exactly as they were there - separated by about a foot and each in their own "nest" of supporting rolls around them to keep them in good position. We gave up the idea of co-sleeping and realized that simply sharing a crib would have to do.

Then we realized that every time they nap together on our bed they somehow manage to snuggle and Jordan questioned me on why I continued to set their bed up as they had in the hospital. Hmmm. Good question. Habit? They didn't seem to need the overkill of support I had propped around them, so I ripped their bedding apart and built one giant nest around the two of them, lining their slings up only inches apart.

This was the result:

That's more like it! Happy sleeping sweet princes! Finally, almost 7 months later, sleeping together as we'd hoped. Every day things get more and more "normal" around here.
