Kristy J - Was there any particular reason you decided to circumcise your boys? I'm glad I didn't have to even think about it was never an option for us as DF was against it. It would have been a very different situation had I managed to have a son with my ex though.
well when we had our older son it was a hard decition. so we made a list of pro's and cons to help. the list for the pro's was much longer than the cons. infact the only cons we had was pain and possible complications but IMO i don't think (in life) they are not good enough reasons not to do something after all i wouldn't have had babies if it was. plus i know woman who have had cervical cancer and the un-circumsised penis carries the papaloma virus that can trigger cervical cancer in their wifes later in life. so with the twins it was just a follow on from isaac.
they did fine the same as isaac did. cried when the anathetic needle went in, and a little after but i gave them both boobie and they were fine from then on. i feel a little bad they had to waite longer this time ( cause they were premmy isaac was 10 days old) so they would have more memory of it but they will get over it. today they will have their first bath after it so it may sting them a little as the skin is still raw.

shereejoy- yep i know exactly how tough getting them to sleep can be. caleb is an awsome sleeper I wrap him say good night put him in bed while awake and he drops off himself. but sebastian is just like his big brother Isaac and wants to be rocked to sleep. but NO WAY will i fall into that trap again it took months of control crying to fix isaac's sleeping problems. so now with sebastiab (even tho he is still a little to young) i wrap him say good night put him into bed and if he cries i pat him but don't pick him up unless i think their may be something else bothering him like a wet nappy or wind.
i rocked isaac to sleep every night and as he got older it caused so many problems in the end it was taking almost an hour to get him to sleep as when i would put him down he would cry. it was even making life harder with my DH as we didn't have any couple time all out time was devoted to the baby and housework so this time we are teaching them to self settle using a bath massage and patting method but making sure we leave them awake so they can go to sleep on their own. these days we say good night to isaac put him into his cot cover him and leave he puts himself to sleep, its much better. so by 7.30pm (ish) we are child free for 4 hours anyway till the twins need another feed.

also i have no idea if they are getting the hind milk i lightly massage my breasts to help bring it down but who knows. its funny tho in the last few days its only sebastian who isn't satisfied caleb is quite happy. so maybe its just seb is a hungry baby. but i give them both formula for the midnight feed so it gives me a longer sleep. so far i haven't noticed any drop in suply my body will adapt to it. i gave up feeding isaac too soon as i was uneducated on how feeding works but this time i understand that you can increase your suply as you need it. so i hope to do it longer. plus the weight loss is awsome.

I have always been a bit fat but when i fell PG i was almost 89kg yesterday i weighed in at 80.8kg so i'm so happy about that and the booby feeding is helping i know. plus i bought a treadmil so that helps too. DH said if i can get to a healthy weight about 65-70kg and keep it their for at least 2 years i can have a tummy tuck, lypo and booby lift i have been wanting. but i have to loose the weight forever as its very expensive. so that has made me happy and given me some drive to do it.

well enough of me crapping on i am going to c if i can get a pedicure today my feet are rotton (well kinda)

take care
love kristy
