Handling the Twin Bond Relationship at Bootcamp

I wanted to ask about this topic as it has a deep impact on how twins relate to each other. This will be good future reference for other Navy Twin Moms as their sons leave for BC. I only have one…Continue

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 12, 2013 at 11:21pm: sierrascrapper baby shots please. Hope your boys are having a wonderful time camping.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 12, 2013 at 11:20pm: Boy you both have boys that really look alike. love seeing your families. Where is our fourth member?

Comment by doubletrouble on July 12, 2013 at 11:17pm: I'm loving all the pictures!!

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 12, 2013 at 11:15pm: Bryce

Gregory

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 12, 2013 at 11:13pm: Yours do look exactly alike. I believe it or not alway was asked, "Oh twins are they identical?" Really folks? I didn't think they even looked related.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 12, 2013 at 11:11pm: She could have put her hair in cinnamon rolls on the sides of her head.

On what cute babies!

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 12, 2013 at 11:09pm: Aww, look at those babies!! to stinkin cute!

Now I am looking at my boys as babies, crying again!!

Comment by doubletrouble on July 12, 2013 at 10:46pm: I too, hope your friend decides to join. Just having twins will give her something to relate to us.

Sierrascrapper, I have the same fear about never seeing them again. I feel myself being more and more jealous of their girlfriends right now because they are spending so much of their free time with them and not ME!! Part of me completely understands, but I can't help but wish I could lock them in the house for 25 & 32 more days, make them pile in the bed with us like we did when they were little! I guess it's a good thing our dogs will still be here to cuddle with! HAHA

Man, I thought my babies were little! I think God had pity on me, he gave me twins, but made my pregnancy and birth super easy. I did go into labor about 2 weeks early, but they stopped it and put me on bed rest. We delivered at about 38-39 weeks, delivered both vaginally. They were 6lbs 6oz (Darien) and 6lbs 7 oz (Jacob). I delivered about 6am and we all went home in the afternoon the next day! I guess we do make everything bigger in Texas!! They are now almost 6' 180-190lbs, football players.

You can tell I'm super proud as we all should be because we have some AWESOME young men and we have raised them right!

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 12, 2013 at 10:33pm: My boys were not preemies, but I did go into early labor and got put on bed rest at 6 months. My daughter had been 6 weeks early, so with the twins they were extra careful. 3 months of being on complete bed rest, monitoring for contractions twice a day, talking to a nurse several times a day and drinking lots of water to stay hydrated and then at 39 weeks my precious boys were born, Bryce weighing 7 lbs and Gregory weighing 6lbs 12oz, 16 minutes apart. Bryce had some trouble breathing when he was born and they had to give him some oxygen to get his numbers up, but other then that they were completely healthy and very ornery from day one, boy did they have a mind of their own, unlike my good natured daughter who was very quiet. The Boys have always kept me on my toes, They can be the sweetest young boys, very charming, can talk to anyone, but they are all boy and they are very competitive, they got kicked out of school for 10 days a couple of years ago for fighting with each other. I thought 10 days was a little crazy given the fact that they are twin brothers, not like it was bullying or anything, it was just siblings fighting, I know that they shouldn't have been fighting and I was ok with them being punished but thought 10 days was a little harsh. But they got lucky because the teachers thought it was to much too so they didn't give much homework during the time the boys were out, so it didn't hurt their grades that much. I am sorry. I am going on and on. I am kinda losing my mind here. Bryce leaves in 18 days and Gregory in 33.
