I am so excited to have 5 minutes to spare before my bedtime! I still have laundry to be done, dishes to be put up, etc. but it can wait. I miss all my blogger friends. I confess... I have not been reading your blogs people, but it is not because I don't want to. For example, my hubby is standing behind looking over my shoulder waiting for the computer. I have been on it now 2 minutes:) Granted, he is trying to research a few cars before an auction tomorrow. Have I mentioned how awesome he is??? No really, he isn't even standing there anymore... I really do think that he is:)
Update on us: ( and then tomorrow, I promise, maybe I will catch up on you guys!)
Henry and Charlie are great, gaining weight inspite of nursing woes. Hopefully that will improve in the next few days because right now my life consists of what the lactation gurus call triple feeding... nurse, feed them a supplement (45 minutes) and THEN pump for 15 minutes. It occured to me that this was insane to attempt!!! I mean, I should not even be driving right now I am so tired. :) So, I tried just pumping while they take their bottles in the middle of the night so I could get back to bed within 30 minutes. Genius! Then I was telling my friend of the triple feeding nightmare that was going on during the day. " oh, I am not sure I can handle this much longer... my kids need me, my husband needs me, my teeth need me (to be brushed, ya know?) " She says, "Why don't you so the pumping while bottle feeding routine during the day also, until they are strong enough to nurse and get enough milk from that alone?" Why don't I? Well, I will tell you why I don't... because that would be TOO SIMPLE!!!! So, thanks to my dear smart, well rested friend... life has gotten easier over the past few days. Hence the blogging...
Okay, the ramble has gone on long enough and my 5 minutes are up. Off to laundry, dishes and maybe a bowl of cereal with Blanch, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia. I have been loving me some Golden Girls and Multi-Grain cheerios every night. Thanks DVR!!
