Twins are hard (understatement), looking for perspective...

Well we are on day three of the Gerber Nourish and I am feeling hopeful. Most of their symptoms have decreased substantially. I also started gripe water yesterday and that seems to have improved the situation a little too. I really appreciate everyone's advice. If things can keep on like this we will be tackling solid foods in no time.

I feel like your ladies have been very responsive / helpful and I have received many nice welcomes. I appreciate it.

I mentioned having varied questions in my first post and would like to throw another one out there for anyone still following the thread. I am interested to know what the DH does for you and the babies? Mine does dishes, cooks, cleans and will stay up half the night on a workday with them. I don't really ask him to do those things he just does them. Have you ladies had similar experiences or has his response been underwhelming at times?

Thats fantastic news Cheese! I hope it continues to progressively get better

I haven't had the twins yet obviously but my DH is overly helpful and wants to know everything. Sometimes I feel like I am just sitting there doing nothing and he is doing it all. He took it too much to heart when the doctor told him I should take it easy this pregnancy LOL. I am a little over spoiled right now.

We have 2 older kids 21 and 18 he was exactly the same though raising them. So I should have known.

My DH wanted to do everything in the beginning. Now he helps get them to bed or with a feed around 6pm or so. If I am sick he will take over. He works from home so I do tell him I'm leaving them to go to the store from time to time. When they are in bed I do laundry, dishes, etc. and he will sometimes help, other times he watches his show. Once I'm pregnant again I'm sure he'll help more again.
