After slogging through the trenches for week after week, it is difficult to see an end to the battle. You solve one problem, and a new one pops up.
Switched sleep cycle, constipation, reflux, colic...
Friends of ours told us that things tend to get easier after a few months. At the time, we could not see it happening. We were starting to get worn down. If not for the amazing support from our parents, I don't know how we would have survived.
Due to the feeding schedule assignments, in April and May of 2012, I was going to bed at 8:30 pm, so I could get some sleep before waking up at 2:00 am to help with the night feed.
The daily grind was starting to crush us beneath its cruel sharp heel...until something miraculous happened. The twins started to sleep through their 2:00 am feed. Combine this with the fact that only one parent was needed to now feed both babies simultaneously, this meant that Amanda and I could both get a full night's sleep.
This was the big break we were looking for.
