The last few days the babies sleep really well from their 6/7/8 o'clock feeding (notice the range bc there is no real schedule lol). They wake around 11/12 and seem to think it's party time. Once they go down after that they aren't so bad. The 3/4/5 feeding they usually go back down pretty easily. The breastfeeding is difficult at night I feel like bc it takes so long. I've been doing bottles of expressed milk at night just so I can get some sleep. They take a bottle faster than they do the boob. We always change them and then feed them. That way it helps wake them up all the way to eat and if they fall asleep after it isn't a big deal.

I feel like Olivia is kind of fussy like that. She cries bc she wants to eat. Is content for a little bit then cries some more off and on. Grayson isn't far off, but he'll lay there content longer than she does. She likes to be held, that's for sure. I think some reflux has been a big part of that though, they do better upright like when I'm holding them. I've been rocking them in the glider and that helps get them to sleep. During the day, wearing them in my boba puts them to sleep. Also, if you have an exercise ball, bounce on it with them. Calms them right down!

I've been reading the baby wise book too. I would love to get them on more of a schedule. I can tell they are starting to space their sleep times out a little, but are still pretty much on an every 3 hour eating schedule. So, I pretty much am letting them lead at this point but I do try to wake them during the day if they sleep too long. I also try to hold them off if I can, but I don't push it. If they are hungry, they're hungry and I feed them. The one thing I try to stick to is the "1 up, both up", meaning if one of them wakes to eat, I wake the other to eat. It's so much faster to feed them at the same time...not easy, but faster and helps me keep my sanity by being more likely to have time to do things while they are both napping.

Days like yesterday I get no breaks! I managed a shower finally around 5pm...one of them started fussing as soon as I was out though. Days like that it is such a relief when DW gets home just so she can take a kid lol I am trying to exclusively breastfeed, but I feel like it takes a million years and they never seem to be fully satisfied bc it takes so long. So, I've still been topping them off with expressed milk after they finish. I tried to do it without bottles yesterday morning and I felt like I literally had a kid on a boob the entire morning and had no time to do anything (like feed myself). Then they were completely off of a schedule and not scheduled together and didn't sleep as well...I'm at a loss.

I haven't really had a time when either of them was really fussy in front of anyone...knock on wood! If they do get fussy, so far I haven't had a hard time calming them. Hopefully that continues...
 
Awe alia. Your so cute.
Julie I hope they develop more of a schedule soon.
Afm choked down my femara this morning, had my grandma over she complained about my house(because it smelled like dog,Sandy went to the farm so she got soaked) took Dh out his lunch, now I'm going to find myself something to eat.
 
Awe Alia is getting so big!

So yesterday I was just sorting through some papers and trying to clean up. All of a sudden my belly button had tons of pain behind it like baby girl was stretching it extra hard. Well ever since then I'm feeling pokes in different areas and I'm thinking she flipped either transverse or breech :( . Seriously sucks because she's been head down for 10 weeks. Been trying to play name that bump to figure out which direction she is. Hope she's goes back head down.
 
Ashlee- don't quote me...but my guess is she doesn't have much room in there to flip. So maybe she didn't.
 
I didnt think she did either but with how much pain I had behind my belly button and the changes in where her movements are it may be possible. Would seriously suck though :? She probably didn't make it quite to breech but transverse feels like a possibility. At least it's supposed to be easier to gt them to flip from transverse to head down. Guess we'll find out at my apt wed morning
 
At least the appointment will tell. I hope she was just stretching Ashlee! I hope your Dh is doing better.
 
Alia is so cute and big!

Ashlee, hopefully she didn't!!

What a rough day Julie! You are super mom!

Katrina, fx! Grr @ your grandma. Lol.

Bb, maybe it's the constipation. My belly hurt about that business! Everything will be fine. Even if you dont see the heart beat yet, that's not necessarily bad. Totally normal. Hopefully you do so you can relax a tad!

Busy day hete cleaning and doing laundry. FIL is coming for dinner. MIL is out of town. Then visiting little man and collapsing in my chair. I'm pooped! Lol. I felt hiccups for the first time last night! Hubby said he felt him move when I was sleeping. Yay! :) I am kinda liking the name Spencer. We might change it. Lol
 
Ashlee - maybe she just started facing a different direction (facing the side or your back)
 
Thank you :)

I'm here now. Just waiting to go in. I've struggled to drink enough water with throwing up and I'm a nervous wreck!

Meet our baby.
I am so so relieved. Baby is measuring bang on. We even saw a little heartbeat. Hubby and I cried our eyes out! :cloud9:
 
Yayyyy Bb-what a relief!! I'm so so happy for you!! :)

Makayla slept 9:30pm-5:00am last night!!!! Aside from the coronary I had when I woke up and realized it was 4:10 and she haven't made a peep it was the best night everrrrrrr!!!
 
Yay BB! look at that beautiful bean!!

Ashlee- Harper keeps flipping side to side (her feet) but I think she's still head down. I'd so pretty upset if she back at this point.

Good morning ladies! Didn't even turn on my computer this weekend. Trying to enjoy all my free time now, while I still have it. However, i'm ready for baby to come. I can't sleep at all anymore. It's just so painful on my hips.
 
I feel you uncomfortable ladies! I am ALREADY uncomfortable, and I'm inly 22.5 weeks! And hot! And miserable! Bleh. And thankful! Haha. :)
 
Yay bb!

Kara-That's amazing! Mine didn't sleep quite that long but they did skip their midnight feeding! Making progress!

DW is face timing her mom right now to show her the babes. I find this to be completely annoying. She lives 20 min away and she's babysitting tomorrow which I am not excited about. Why does she need to FaceTime and see them? I don't even FaceTime w my mom and she's 3 hours away...
