Stopping by to say hi!

in Pregnant after IF
Miss you ladies! Haven't had much time for bumping lately but wanted to say hello. I lurk here whenever I get a chance to go on.

The boys were three weeks yesterday. I was finally cleared to drive after the c section but still can't lift much. I can't go anywhere alone because I can't lift the boys and their car seats at the same time yet. Sleeping is rough becUse they get up to eat every two hours now and it takes an hour and a half to complete the cycle, leaving me maybe a half hour of sleep each time lol. They are getting big and have a check up tomorrow and I am betting Cole is nearing 6 pounds. Max is probably 5 1/2 at least. They are having some reflux and gas issues so we switched the formula to see if that helps. Still learning to tell them apart lol. Right now we are going with different color hats still.

Me (37) DH (39); PCOS changed to Unexplained, changed to DOR in 2012 (finally a correct diagnosis!); 
Started TTC 2009 with RE after 6 months.  
Clomid + Trigger x2; 
IUI + Femara x1,
IUI + Follistim x2;
IVF #1 (MDL) February 2013- BFN.
IVF #2 (antagonist) May 2013, First BFP of my life. 
Identical twin miracle BOYS (!!) headed our way- due date is technically 2/4/14 but c section is scheduled for 1/7!

    Omg love them!! So cute. What formula are you using now? Nia has relux/gas also, I recently switched to similac alumentum. I started with ready to feed and just switched to powder. I will be going back to ready to feed b/c the powder has her extremely constipated. I also switched to slow flow nipples (avent) and the bottle has a air filter stopper thingy that prevents air bubbles. It works miracles. Gl !!!!!

    If gentlease works for you, let me know I have a can that I used one scoop of, Nia couldn't tolerate that one at all.
