So it's been over 5 weeks now since they were born. Last night was the first night where we did not have them sleep in our room in the craddle/bassinet. We wrapped them up snuggly in their sleep sacks and turned on the sleep sheep. We hooked up the baby monitor for the first time after testing it from downstairs. After it was all said and done - it went very well!
The usual waking every 2-3 hours, feeding both at the same time (tag team) and changing their endless poopy diapers did not change. We weren't disrupted much more than we usually are. It was really great overall.
So now they are sharing one crib and the second crib right beside them is a dedicated change station (as it was before). We also have one of those change pads that we use downstairs (those change pad covers suck!). So our dining room table is basically change station #1 and the second crib is change station #2.
We also have two playpens. One of them is setup downstairs in the kitchen/tv room. We use it during the day when they are not in someone's arms or in one of those vibrating chairs. The second playpen is kept in the van. We use it strictly for when we are visiting friends or going to the parents for dinner. I am sure that will change as they get older and we find a need for both playpens at the same time.
They are looking more alike each day. I am starting to get a bit confused at night. I often have to ask the wife which one she gave me to feed. Once I am awake I can tell, but at first glance it is getting a lot harder.
