Some Baby Updates

If I ever thought I was tired before I had these babies, I was DEAD WRONG! I was up last night at every hour. Not the same time every hour but at some point every hour. It was usually Avery. She is much more fussy than her brother. He is cool as a cucumber and only wakes to eat. She loves being cuddled (who can blame her!) Mike and I both love cuddling her too it just makes for some long nights. My milk is finally in fully force. Just call me Bessie. I'm still supplementing them with formula though. With them being so tiny I don't have a problem with that. I saw a lactation consultant last week and she gave me these nip.ple shi.eld things. they helped big time with breast feeding.

My happy moment for the week was when I got on the scale this morning. Believe it or not! I've already lost 45 of the 50lbs. I gained while pg. Holy Cats! I was shocked. I've even got back on it a couple times to make sure. I was right. I really think I was carrying a lot of water weight. My maternity clothes are back to being loose on me. Now I just have to find a way to lose all the loose skin around my belly. If only plastic surgery was covered by my insurance!

All in all everything is going great. My mom went home for the weekend but I pick her back up at the train station tonight. She'll be here through Sunday and I can't wait! She's such a big help at night time. And she keeps my house damn near spotless! Luke and Avery had dr. check ups today and they're both still very healthy. Avery still needs to gain 3 more ounces to be back to her birth weight. Luke is already 2 over. He's such a good eater. And pooper! The kid has a poopy diaper at every diaper change. It's amazing. So we just need Avery to step it up and grow a little bit. I'll try and get more pics up soon! Off to nap for a bit while they're down!
