YOU GUYS! TWINS!
Okay- I have to be quick and I promise photos very soon, but first I am worried that all is not well.
The first baby came out with my help (one leg was not forward) and the baby is VERY THIN. Is that normal? To feel all their little bones?
The second baby is a bit bigger and less bony. This baby also started making tiny (OMG adorable) sounds right away.
Both babies are making sounds and trying desperately to nurse. One even was even trying to suckle on any part of me that was close while I treated the umbilical cords.
Is it normal for kids to be floppy and unsteady at first? At what point should I worry?
Is it normal for mom to not seem to care about kids nursing and make annoyed sounds at them?
She is hyper focused on cleaning. I tried to help by removing all the soiled straw, but she is completely into cleaning the kids (who are pretty much mostly clean already) and not letting them nurse. It's her sounds that make me concerned the most.
At what point should I worry?
For now, having cleaned up and put fresh straw down, I am giving them space but staying close by.
