You've got to be kidding me!!!

Um, I think I got my period. WTF!  After the c-section I bled for almost two months, but it stopped about 2 weeks ago- then all of a sudden this morning- blood!  It's not super heavy, but my periods have always been really light anyway.  Here I was thinking that I would be period free until I stopped BFing, whenever that was!  Because of the twins crazy schedules I only manage to pump every 4-5 hours, at night maybe 6.  This works out fine because I typically get about 10 ounces total per pumping session, occasionally 12 ounces if it's been 6 hours.  I did read that if you pump/ bf less frequently your period may come back sooner, but I never thought it would be this soon!  With the post c-section bleeding I've only had 2 weeks free of bleeding in the past 10 weeks!  Maybe if I can manage to pump more often it will go away again?? Or when they are able to keep up with my fast letdown and I can stop pumping and start BFing again??  Is this possible??  Can it go away again??

On a happier note- last night Ben slept from 9:30-4:30!!! Of course Mia was up at 1:30, but it's progress!  New favorite thing? The Woombie!! They both sleep so well in it, and its so much easier than having to wrap them up when they are sleeping/falling asleep which inevitably wakes them up, AND it also unzips from the bottom for easy diaper changes- LOVE!

Emerging from her cocoon! 

Two Months!

Two months old!! Well actually, they're about 9 and a half weeks now, I'm a bit late posting this!  I've actually been working on a lengthier post, but, well, can't seem to find the time to finish it!

I guess the main thing that has changed is BFing.  I am now exclusively pumping and bottle feeding. Crazy, yes.  I am pretty bummed because initially I thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones, and for a while I was- no need to supplement, great latches straight off the bat, tandem nursing no problem, and then.... turns out I have too MUCH milk, and way too fast of a letdown.  Essentially the babies were drowning in milk whenever I fed them- chugging, gulping, choking and gagging.  Of course this only made the reflux issue worse, not to mention an already bad gas problem!  I tried different positions etc. etc.  and nothing helped.  My only other option was pumping before I fed them.... right, well, since they aren't on strict feeding schedules,  I can't imagine waiting until they were hungry to pull the pump out and pump first!  So, bottles it is... for now!  Hopefully in another month or so they will be able to keep up and I can stop pumping!

Anyway, my favorite thing right now is baby smiles!! Mia especially is quite the ham! Ben likes to make you work for them.  I was taking some two month pics last week, and well, I had a hard time picking my favorite smiles!  Sorry for the overload!
