They are both doing doing great- both have above average weight gain (each adding a pound or more to their birth weight!), and other than the first few days have not needed any supplementing (thank goodness, because that whole tube along my nipple thing to avoid using a bottle was pretty annoying!). I am so happy to not have pump anymore! I had managed to have them on the same schedule and had been nursing them at the same time until about a week and a half ago when they both developed reflux. We've had to modify our feeding routine quite a bit with separate feedings to accommodate new positioning (I need to breastfeed with them sitting up straight), which has doubled or tripled feeding time because, in addition to feeding them separately, they both need to be upright and burped for about half an hour after they eat before they can lay on their backs again. Mia is on medication as her reflux is a bit worse.
My favorite thing? Their Pack n' Play that we have set up for them to sleep in next to our bed. The mattress vibrates and they LOVE it! It's pretty much the only place they sleep (or at least where they are happiest sleeping). I had really thought that they would love their swing and vibrating bouncy chairs, but that turns out to not be the case at all!
Well, that's all I have time for now! I'm trying to catch up on all of your blogs, It seems everyone has had their babies! Congratulations!!! Sorry that I'm lacking in the commenting department, I'm working on it!
Here's a few shots from my favorite time of day... Lazy mornings in bed :)
