The Twins: Day 40

Another long night. Jay was up with Noa. Then I got up to feed Elijah and was up a while. I actually fell asleep pumping. Not pretty!
Today I realized why people have nannies and maids!! Mary cleaned our house. It's nice. Now only if we can keep it that way. I had to pay bills so she held the babies while I got a few paid.
About to go to bed. Rocking Elijah. He was fussy. Jay is with Noa she just keeps screaming:(

The Twins: Day 39

This morning we got off schedule a little. It was a rough night. Noa was fussy all night. So when Elijah was up at 5 ready to eat I just brought him in bed with us and fed him there. Noa was up not long afterwards.
Jay decided to go running. Everything was going well. Then Isaac wanted some ciniminon rolls that I told him I would make for Well I had to feed Elijah a bottle first. Noa started getting upset. Isaac got upset. So I had two babies crying as the other one was chillin on his bottle.
Mary came in town. We ordered chinese and hung out with the kids while jay went bowling with the youth.

The Twins: Day 38

Today was just constant feeding. Isaac was great. It was a great day but just constant. I would feed then burp, the give Elijah a little from the bottle, then change diapers (usually all 3), get babies to sleep, then pump, then entertain Isaac for half an hour before it all started again!!! Crazy but fun on a weird way!!
Noa has been fussy tonight. My mom and I have been trying to get her down. My mom finally got her to sleep then it was time to feed again!!

The Twins: Day 37

Well today I got adventurous. I have been wanting to get down to Murfreesboro to visit with Salena and Josie and give Isaac a day to play with Elias at Sarah's. I had been planning on today because I didn't have any help signed up and it seemed like a good day. Well that was before I was nursing all the time... It turned out to be a great outing it just all took longer than expected!! Everything had to woven around feedings. So this morning I fed the twins and i only had one hour before the next feeding. Not enough to load up three kids and drive to Murfreesboro before the next feeding. So I decided to give them bottles their next feeding so I could get out the door quicker. So it ended up being around 11:30 before I was on the road. And I needed gas and lunch! Of course now close to Isaac and Elias' naptime. Isaac fell asleep on the way down there. We finally got to murfreesboro. I dropped off Isaac then headed to salena's.
Salena and I had a great time. We just fed babies. Well I did two feedings there because it wasn't worth going down for one feeding. So I didn't leave salena's until after 5. I went to get Isaac. He had a great time!!! We finally got home and of course it was time for the babies to eat again. So jay had bottles ready for them. My parents ce over for a little visit. I laid down with Isaac around 8 and was out!!!
It was a busy day but great!!! I love to be able to accomplish big tasks like that!!

The Twins: Day 36

Today was all nursing, all day. That's pretty much all I did all day. It feels great though that I can and they are doing so well. Right now the feedings are taking about 1 1/2 -2 hours. And they are eating every 3 hrs so I have about an hour of downtime.

The Twins: Day 35

Today was a good day. I'm starting to feel like. A real person again!! I took Isaac to school this morning. It was great to know that I could do it!! It was pj day at his school so I didn't have to dress him so that made it a little easier. Of course I had to dress the twins so they looked cute;) I got home and had help waiting from my sister and Amy and Abigail. So I got to work on paying medical bills. Fun!!
Tonight the lactation consultant came. It went really well!! We learned a lot!! The twins nursed. She showed me how to feed them both at the same time for time effincency and how much and how long to feed them for. It was very informative!!!
After she left jay and I got to spend a little time together because all the kids were sleeping. So that was nice!!!

Cuddling in moses basket!
