Solids
L&C are four and a half months now and yesterday they ate their first solids: rice and breast milk. YUMM! They really loved it!For me it felt a bit sad on one hand: losing that dependence, that exclusiveness, the feeling they don't need me so much anymore. On the other hand it's a step towards a little more freedom for all of us.
I guess R loves it too. Finally he can feed the babies too. This morning when I was still asleep he gave Charlie another 'bowl of rice pudding' (one teaspoon) made with left over milk. When I came in both my men were beaming with happiness.

Congratulations on your beautiful babies. You are very blessed!
I found your blog while searching for other women who have experienced ectopic pregnancies.
I conceived my son after 18 months and 2 rounds of clomid. When he was 8 months old, I conceived on my own but it was ectopic. It was a horrible experience. After two failed injections of methotrexate, my right tube ruptured and I had emergency surgery. It was life threatening at this point.
I am currently ttc again but have had 3 failed clomid rounds. I am anxious to have another HSG to find out how my one remaining tube is. I am scared to death to have another ectopic.
Thank you for sharing your journey on your blog.
Your babies are just beautiful! Congradulations!
Also, its so wonderful that you're breastfeeding them!
My baby is now 10 mths old and still nursing; I suspect it'll be quite a while longer before he's weaned :D
I am enjoying nursing my little boy and altho he is 4 months now I think I'll hold off on solids for a while yet. Your babies are so gorgeous, what enormous eyes that have!
Thanks for visiting my blog, Heleen! I'm very proud of my unassisted homebirth! It was awesome!
You know, if I had problems conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term, I'm sure I would have done whatever medical things I would have to have done to have my kids! I wouldn't exclude you from being 'natural' because of this... I have a sister that hasn't been able to have any children yet and she's 38 yrs old. So, I understand that side of things too.
For some reason, people think that because they have twins, they can't breastfeed. I love that you're doing it! And even if you don't breastfeed past a year, you've still given them the best for a whole year! I'd say the majority of babies don't get that; even for a month!
Don't be surprised if your little ones won't want to wean though... LOL
