BRIs Children

Well with them still in the NICU right now I've only gotten a taste of it. I can tell it's going to be alot of work and my patience is going to be tested, but it'll be worth it. Twins just multiplies how busy you are so it's a little crazy when both crap themselves then you go to change one, he keeps crapping, then decides to pee all over me, the bed, himself, etc. So I have to change all that, then the other one does the same thing! It's going to take all of our energy and time, but when I'm holding them I can't help, but to just stare at them and I'm amazed that we made a human life. That's the moment that gets me and I can feel the tears come on some.

When Zach still had all the tubes on him, down his throat, and he had pneumonia and jaundice I had a rough time with that. I remember I had only seen him open his eyes once before they whisked him away and put him under the jaundice lights so he had to have visors on so I couldn't see his eyes or his face. The first time they took that visor off and he opened his eyes..................I felt horrible and helpless because you could tell he was having a hard time with all of it. It made me cry because there wasn't a damn thing I could do for the little guy. He and Cael are doing much better now and are within a couple weeks of coming home. We can't wait....................... :thumbs

 
WoW BRI i didnt know your kids were born yet and still in the nicu. Having had my twin girls 2 years ago i know what your going through. Though they seemed to be in better shape starting off then your little ones. It is hard work but well worth it. Your patience will be tested, as a new parent and as a parent of multiples. I can only tell this to you. Help your wife and have her help you. She might go through some post pardom as well so be watchfull of that. Dont be afraid to walk away if you need to. Some times i got so frustrated i could scream and throw stuff. But you cant do that. Man up and walk away for a few minutes till you can cool down and deal with the problem. Gonna kinda stink for you for football season because i had to miss alot when my kids were born. I still do sometimes. But when they both tackle me while my 4 year old jumps on my head its all worth it. Hang in there BRI
