Ah, another week has flown by! The girls continue to amaze me with how big they are. Ella is now 5 pounds, 8 ounces and Raegan is not far behind, at just slightly over 5 pounds, 2 ounces. They’ll be 37 weeks gestational age Thursday and inching closer to coming home. This week both girls […]
I’ve already documented my struggles with breastfeeding Buds ( https://adventureswithmultiples.wordpress.com/2013/12/06/the-great-boob-debate/) and have analyzed my relationship with my pump more than Carrie did with Big, but here I go again. I am fine with my low milk supply. Seriously. It’s a crap bucket, but what are you gonna do? What I don’t get is the mixed […]
You do a lot of waiting when you’re pregnant; waiting to tell people, waiting to find out the baby’s sex, waiting to meet them, and, of course, all that waiting for doctors appointments. Normally, that waiting pays off when you finally meet your new love and get to take them home and snuggle them whenever […]
Two years ago, I felt my first contraction. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a false contraction and a real one until I felt it, and then I knew. I wasn’t scared, just more nervous since I didn’t know what to expect, but, mostly, excited to meet my […]
Wow, six weeks have flown by and our girls have come so far. It’s so hard to believe that the same little girl who struggled so much in the beginning is now leading the pack. Ella has been doing so well this week, and just moved into a crib! Not only is it amazing how […]
I wish I were one of those people who dealt with stress by not eating. The ones who lose a dress size every time they’re worried, in other words, the people everybody hates. Instead, I find myself unable to stop stuffing my face. When I’m with the girls, I feel calm and, well, like a […]
Five weeks! So hard to believe how fast the time has gone. Since last week, the girls have done well in the growing game, Ella is just under 4 and a half pounds and Raegan just under four. This week, I started breastfeeding the girls twice a day, which as I’ve posted, is…interesting. Depite everything, […]
We all know by now my love-hate (let’s be honest, it’s all hate) relationship with my pump, but last week I started breastfeeding the girls. Mostly, it’s just for practice as the girls aren’t quite 35 weeks, but they’re on the boob and it’s better than being attached to a machine. Let me tell you, […]
Jas came to visit yesterday and held both girls for the first time. The little ladies were dressed for the occasion, wearing some of the NICU’s outfits. Jason had one girl on each side, and looked only slightly terrified! Ella stayed awake for the whole cuddle, often expressing herself with a bit of a wail, […]
One month already, and getting big! Both girls have gained weight, Ella is now just shy of four pounds, weighing 3 pounds, 15 ounces and Raegan is coming in at 3 pounds, 9 ounces. Both girls are looking bigger and brighter, though they’re still teeny tiny. Ella proves herself to be quite the fighter, […]
