I forgot to mention that I am loving my Moby D wrap! You can put both babies in there and although it is snug, the babies love it. I don't use it often to hold both babies but I used it to hold them one at a time and then I have my hands free plus it isn't as warm as our Baby Bjorn, which I like using outside.

Hello everyone!!! It has been a long time since I have been on MH. I have been back to work now (2 weeks) and my life has been crazy busy with the babies and work. I don't get online at night anymore so I can spend some good QT time with Brooke and the girls. They are doing great at day care and everyone loves them there and wants to hold them all the time, which has been a little hard because they want to be held all the time at home now : ) That is ok with me as long as they sleep at night.

hopeful: I am so happy to hear the babies are doing well. Isn't it so funny how fast they grow? They double their birth weight so fast it is hard to remember how little they are. I have to say, we don't have the greatest schedule anymore. We are trying to see what they will do naturally at night time, which means sometimes they are up once during the night or sometimes twice. We try to feed them at 10:00 p.m. and then hope they only get up at about 2:30 or 3:00 and then sleep until 6:00 or 7:00. It hasn't been happening that way. The good thing is that started having assigned babies at night so I will take one baby and feed her when she gets up and my dh will be assigned the other baby. We switch babies each night so we get to spend time with both of them. When on maternity leave, I would feed the pacer (baby that would wake up first, which was always Jamie) and then after I got her back to sleep I would wake up Kendall and then feed her. If they woke up at the same time, I fed them both at the same time by using two Boppy's or the bouncy seats. I am not breastfeeding anymore. It lasted 5 weeks and I was getting about one hour of sleep a night so I threw in the towel. I immediately saw my milk supply decreasing and probably could have worked on it but ended up buying formula. Are you still b/f?

Sarbear: How are your babies doing? Since we haven't heard from you since your last post, I am assuming you have them both at home and are busy changing diapers : ) I know you were going to formula feed so wanted to let you know if you didn't already that the Target formula has been awesome for us and it is only $11.80 a can, which is less than half the price of the formula we used with Brooke. We are also using the Target diapers, which I think area actually more absorbent than the Pampers diapers and no leaks at all!

Guesito: How is the FET going? I think you are probably just about to transfer. I think you said mid-May...

Aleks and Audrie: Your girls are both so beautiful. I hope all is well with you!

Hello Everyone. I've missed a lot!

Sarbear: Are both your girls home now?  How are they treating you?

Lexi: Congrats! Sounds like your L&D experience was very pleasant. Anna Grace is beautiful!

I am doing well. My wound finally closed and I am able to move more freely now.  Jordan and Jadon are doing well. They are growing so fast. I had no idea they would grow this quickly. I find it hard to believe that just a short 5wks ago I was on bedrest dreading my c-section. I'm still trying to work out a schedule. I am having a hard time balancing everything and I hope to get into a routine soon.

Trudi: Any tips you have would be helpful.

Awwww, so sweet!!! I have been looking for your post at least 5 times every day since Monday!!! I can't wait to see pics. I knew you would go fast!!! I am actually typing with one finger right now as I am bottle feeding Jamie at the same time LOL...

I can't believe we have all had our babies now! I will be watching for Guesito to finish this thread though ; )

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is doing good.  Here is an update on me.

I went in on Saturday the 25th for the induction.  Went in around 9:30pm.  My doctor place Cervidil (sp) in my vagina and it stayed there all night until about 10:45am the next morning.  He then took it out and broke my water and I was in labor less then 4 hours.  Anna Grace was was born with 2 or 3 pushes.  She weighed 7lbs. 5oz.  and 21 inches.  She was born on Sunday and we went home Monday afternoon.  We are doing well and I will post pics as soon as I can.
