The girls are officially two weeks old today (or 37 3/7 gestational weeks). We have been home 1.5 weeks with them now and it feels like only a few days have gone by. We have had our great days and some not so great days (thanks to my surging hormone levels…). As a birthday present to me… the girls both decided to breast feed on their own today (all day!!). No shields, no bottles, no major meltdowns. Good ole fashion breast feeding. I am swelling with pride and accomplishment.
Jason and I have worked out a schedule for night feedings (still bottle feedings but NO formula needed anymore). I head for bed around 930 and sleep until the 2am feedings. Jason does the 10-130 feedings and then sleeps until he gets up for work. We both slept until 845 this morning.
Jason has actually played 18 holes of golf (for his birthday) and went to the driving range today. I have been to the hair salon / therapy office (thanks Jenny!!) for an hour.
My mother (aka laundry fairy, coffee fairy, vacuum fairy) leaves on Monday and it feels like ripping off a band aid… hopefully we can keep our heads above water.
More pictures to come (we swear!!)
