Oooh look, I'm already here, rofl. O Thanks Shannon. Oooh, you're a mod now, cool. Hi everyone!
Lauren is feeding like a champ now. She was syringe fed for the first week then bottle fed for the 2nd week, all ebm, then she got it together to have her milk straight from the booby & is doing really well at it now. So no health concerns now.
It will take me a little while to catch up with what everyone's up to, so bear with me. Just going to start from this page, as I can't sit here for long periods of time like I used to. :-s
Hi Fletch. Seems like I haven't seen you for ages, these last weeks have been a bit of a daze. Sounds like Zane is doing great. Lol @ the dream feed. I do that in the middle of the night too, just stick them on then straight back in the cot. Ouchies at the blocked ducts, I had issues with that a couple of weeks ago too, & had mastitis for a couple of days. No fun at all.
Hi Jo! 2 hourly feeds!? You must be so tired. Hope Samuel decides soon to sleep a bit longer at night.
Hi Kate. Glad to hear good news from paed.
Hi Vanita. Hope you & Dion are well. I read somewhere he'd been sick (don't remember where, I never get time to read properly). Must catch up with you.
Hi Rachel, looks like I'm going to just miss you here. Maybe I'll see you on Thursday at the meet.
Hi Soph!
Well we're going to try to get to the meet on Thursday. Expecting MCHN again today to weigh Asha & Lauren, then we'll start going to her for the next one.
Went to Chesterfield farm on Saturday & had a wonderful day, my third time out with the twins. Cuddled lot's of animals & loved it. I think the kids liked it too, lol.
My lovely post baby high has recently worn off & I'd been feeling a bit blah, so the day out did me the world of good. Life is a bit of a daze of feeding atm & I feel frustrated that I only get short periods of time in between to do anything for 'myself' like eating, showering, laundry etc. Still trying to get my birth story finished. Perhaps if I get up in the middle of the night, lol. Lola has been an angel helping us with Angus.
The difference between the babies is getting bigger every day, as Asha grows quickly & Lauren grows slowly. I'm not convinced they're identical, & wish I'd kept the placenta. I rang the hospital to speak to the midwife who examined it. She didn't even bother noting the 2 vessels in the umbilical cords, but was pretty sure there was only 1 placenta & not 2 fused together. Anyway, I've registered for a twins study on tooth emergence so we can get the free zygosity testing (cheek swab). Have to wait 6 weeks for the results though once the swabs go in. But I just want to know for sure. Not that it matters, I'm just curious. Lindsay is convinced they're identical & it's just the size difference.
Well what should I do now (after creeping up the hall & listening at the bedroom door to make sure the babies aren't crying - I must get around to getting the baby monitor out of Angus' room). Should I have a shower, put a load of washing on, or stay here & keep going with BB?
