Hey, all 3 kids asleep right now! The stars align! I should be doing a thousand other things (like the 6 loads of laundry sitting here to fold. 6!) but alas.
Sleep is going better. We acquired another Amby Hammock so now both babies can go in one at the same time. They will occasionally wake a bit when I transfer them and immediately go back to sleep. Heaven.
It is insane how the sleep thing rules my day though. Good sleep = good day, Bad sleep = me desperate and feeling like a failure. With three kids it really is essential but hard to get the sleep thing down, though.
Apologizing for any misspellings here (ha — I just misspelled misspellings!). Can’t seem to find a spellcheck with my current version of this blog software. And man do I need spellcheck. Luckily Mozilla helps me some.
Breastfeeding — we are doing pretty well on this new supplementing regime. Basically they are getting more formula, more often, but still nursing a fair bit. A lot, actually. Just not all the time. Phew. I think they are getting about 50% breast milk at this point (which, if I only had one baby would be enough!). I kinda want to wean off the meds I am on (Domperidone and Metformin, the Dom being the one to kick first, for sure), but am scared. I’ve been half-assed with the herbs but my awesome lactation Dr. seemed to think that the meds far outgunned the herbs anyway, and that herbs have their own (somewhat unknown) risks as well. Hurrumph. What to do. Herbs FEEL healthier than pharmaceuticals but I know thats not necessarily true. At all.
Things I have done in the past 5 days that has made me feel productive: went to Costco (with Emma, not the babies, thank goodness)! Finished writing up E & D’s birth story! Waded through my huge pile of paperwork, paid bills, and filed all papers. All of them!!!! Did thousands of loads of laundry (see above) including cloth dipes twice! Went to Target with the babies (still overwhelming to take them both out, but I gotta keep doing it). Cleaned up a million little people, wooden bananas, books and plastic cups — oh wait, that happens everyday, and doesn’t necessarily make me feel productive at all, though it must be done to keep us sane…..
