My Identical Twin Boys at One Month Old

My beautiful identical twin boys were born at 36 weeks via planned c-section. They were absolutely perfect weighing in at 6 lbs. 1 oz. for Twin "A" and 5 lbs. 9 oz. for Twin "B". Both babies were 19 inches long. They never had to go to the NICU after they were born since they were breathing just perfectly on their own and had no other problems whatsoever. They stayed in my room with me the whole 5 days that I was in the hospital. They were just adorable and the best babies I had ever seen. They very rarely cried or fussed. They have been completely healthy since they were born with the exception of a little 24 hour bug they each got when they were about 14 months old. They are now 21 months old and still just as cute as can be. They are very close to one another as most twins are. They shared the same crib since they were about 6 months old until they were about 20 months old when we purchased each of them separate toddler beds. Even now, they don't sleep in their separate beds, they always end up both of them together on either of the beds. They are truly a blessing and I can't imagine my life without them. I never knew I could love something as much as I love them.
