anything new medically? Spent Monday night being monitored in L&D due to Sunday night full of irregular contractions and terrible stomach problems. Everyone is ok but they're so squirmy we couldn't get them both chatted for moth than 5 min together at a time in 4 hours. 



Here's my husband and I last weekend 36+2

how are your babies (inside or out)? Doing so well! They are taking more and more of their feeds every day, and gaining weight nicely, which the doctors think means we may hey to take them home by the end of next week.

Anything new medically? We're still waiting for Alexandra to go 5 days without an apnea episode. The clock started over yesterday.

those of you who've delivered, is it different than you'd imagined? I don't know that I knew what to imagine, but it certainly wasn't a month in the hospital. 

again to those who've delivered, how's feeding going? 2 steps forward, one step back. They are getting better at breastfeeding but still have trouble latching b sometimes. And we can only do it 2x a day.  They're taking their bottles but now splitting breast milk with neosure formula which makes them extra poopy and gassy.

Tired mama with beautiful babies!

Hi Twin mommas!  Thanks for posting this @MrsKubley

how are your babies (inside or out)?  My boys are doing well - they were born late May 1st. You probably saw my post, but:  August Joseph, 7 lbs 3 oz, 19 3/4", and Wesley Ellis, 7 lbs 1 oz, 20 1/2".   

anything new medically?  We took them in for a weight check today and the Dr. doesn't want them loosing anymore than they have already (down almost a pound each).  My milk came in last night so that will help.  We have to offer an ounce of formula after each feeding for a while.  (or I could pump and then offer the bottle).

those of you who've delivered, is it different than you'd imagined?  The induction process was way more annoying than I was expecting.  I do want to tell more of the story, but I need to get ready for bed while I can.    In the end though I'm happy I was able to deliver vaginally like I wanted.  It was a little hairy for a while though! 

again to those who've delivered, how's feeding going?  They nurse pretty well.  August is way more fussy to get latched but also seems hungrier.  I am usually able to tandem nurse w/someone helping me (handing me a baby, taking a baby, etc).

khochanadel Are you fortifying your breastmilk with neosure?  We had to do that for a while with our twins. One of the twins tolerated it fine, but the other got so constipated (and she was an all-star at growing!), so I discontinued the fortifying.  Hope the gassiness is temporary!

Yes they are having us do the neosure temporarily - they say to make the transition to home easier.

Elle & Sasha were born Monday May 2nd at 35+5 weeks! They have been in the NICU for feeding. Not sure how long they'll be in for... Could be a week or two I've been told, and they both had apnea spells so that adds an additional 7 days if it happens again.

ive always tried to tell myself that they would be in the NICU when they were born, seeing that they needed to be out at 36 weeks. However nothing ever prepares you for the NICU and having to leave your babies  
the c section has been a bitch but I'm trying to get through this week and the painkillers have been helpjng

Milk has started to come in! Babies are lazy to suck though but we've been supplementing with formula
