First 2 days
Well I have an issue I seem to sleep through the 4 am feeding every night. This waking up every 3 hrs is killing me. It seems to have taken its toll on Jenny. She is in good spirits. Mommy radar has kicked in. We went to the lactation specialist. She keeps pushing breast feeding. All moms I have talked to say it takes at least a week for the kids to take. The specialist says they should be taking now. I think she is mental. If the don't take Jenny will pump. We have to feed them 8-10 times a day at 1.5-2 oz at a time. This has become easier since we have started using a bottle warmer. I will post Pictures today of the kids. Its kinda of weird to see a mini me and a mini Jenny. I think the kids know who we are. I love it when they look up at me with their open eyes. I know this will be a great but I am scared I will screw up. The kids seem happy or at least content. Henry has slight jaundice and is yellow in the face. Emma is in great shape. I hope we can hang on till we can allow them to sleep through the night. It seems they would like to sleep 4 or more hours at that time but we can't let them. We need to get them to 7 pounds as soon as possible. Today we go see the doc and see what she says about their progress. I hope we are doing this right. I do know we are doing what we think is best the best way we can. I still have 2 weeks before I have to go back to work. All for now.
