Hello!!
I am sorry I've been MIA, I just don't get to my laptop at all and it's very seldom I check BnB on my phone... I'm mostly on FB
So the boys are 5 weeks already! amazing... They had their monthly check up and they weight 9.4 lb (Michael) and 9.10 lb (Matias). They are growing so fast!
I BF the first two weeks and hated it... my nipples were extremely sore. I started pumping and I've been pumping ever since
so now the babies can take their milk from a bottle and anybody can feed them. Drsquid, how are you doing with your babies?
As far as sleep goes the babies are pretty good at night time. They sleep for up to 5 hours and when they get up they just drink a little bit of milk (maybe an oz or 2) and go right back to sleep. During the day they eat between 3 and 4 oz and take a few naps. They also love to play and interaction, so we talk to them, sing, watch Baby Einstein videos or play in the swing. Matias loves tummy time. He's so strong! Michael is very strong also but lazy and he doesn't like tummy time so he cries if we leave him there too long (more than 5 minutes!). They are so cute and so different already. Both of them love bath time. We are giving them a bath every other day before bedtime and it relaxes them so much... they go right to sleep. My little angels ...
Pumping is kind of demanding. I pump 4 times for 1 hour. I can get up to 20 oz in one sitting and as little as 14 oz so I am freezing some milk as well.
Is everyone else as hot and sweaty as I am? I have to change clothes like 5 times a day... it is crazy! oh but maybe that's helping with the weight loss? I've lost 45 lb already and have 10 lb to go... I wonder when I'll be able to start working out.
How are you guys doing? I'll try posting some pictures... like I said, I am mostly on FB so I have some pictures there...
hugs to all!!! xxx
