Hello lovely mummies,
I have finally had the chance to have a quick read over where you are and decided to try to join in and keep up

Grub, happy birthday for yesterday. Yay for a new camera. I must admit we are guilty of taking endless pics, almost make a point of it on a weekly basis, they seem to grow so quick you can really tell week to week.

Hi Janie, I am glad work is going well for you, and sorry to hear Jasmine has been sick. I am not sure how I will handle it yet, but can imagine I would rather it be me.

Smithy, will have to check out your vid, thanks for keeping an eye on me too . Hope your daughter and new grandson are going well, do you have pics?

BW, BG and Green, you guys are great in your positive attitudes re going back to work. I am not sure yet what I will be doing, work has already offered me some part time work, but I am not yet ready to think about it. DH was out of work for the past year and we have just bought a business, fingers crossed that it goes well and we won't have the financial pressure we did last year. I do have the support of both my mum and MIL, and they would be happy to look after the girls one day a week each, but I am don't know if I can handle handing them over. It is a big decision and a hard one. Like Janie said, look forward to those big cuddles at the end of the day.

Hi Saph, Hi Marcellus, Hi KellyD, Hi Lenny, HI Poppyfairy, and everyone else.

I think I am having the 6 week wonder week. I am struggling a bit this week, I am tandem breastfeeding both girls at the same time, after starting off great with expressing and getting plenty of milk, and slowly changing over to all breastfeeds, it is had to know what I am now producing and I have been really worried they are not getting enough. The girls' weight gain has been good, however the last week they have been out of sorts every day from 4pm - 7pm, both on and off the breast the entire time, and with no break to swap breasts or to allow them to refill, by 6.30pm they are crying and frustrated and not wanting to latch on. It is exhausting. Luckily though that has been the worst of it. Otherwise they have been totally great, DH and I are touching wood as we walk around the house. At the moment last feed is 9.30pm-10.00pm, I am waking them at 3.30am for a feed and then they are sleeping until 7.00am. So I am getting some decent sleep and am just praying this continues.

Just for fun I am posting a link to some pics I took at a twin mothers group today, 8 mums, 16 babies, it was crazy and very fun. Log In | Facebook
