Broken Sleep!!!!

Hi everyone,

Just thought I would check in while I am waiting for my two little angels to wake up for yet another feed.

I had forgotten what it was like not to get a full stretch of sleep. Emma and Alex are feeding 3 hourly, so it takes me an hour to feed both, change them and put them back to bed. So we are getting 2 hours of sleep in between feeds. We are trying to take turns at it but Shannon has decided to be sick this week. Yeah the fun never stops.

The twins still haven't been formally discharged from hospital so we have nurses coming to weigh them every second day. They are still not back up to their birth weights or anywhere near them so the feeding does really rule our lives trying to make sure they are drinking enough.

I have just about given up on the breast feeding just ofr the simple fact I don't know how much they are drinking so we are mainly on formula and some expressed milk.

They are beautiful little babies and we can't believe they are here. Still quite shell shocked.

Better go and wake them up. It's the life really eat and then sleep all day

speak to you soon

love lauren.
