Good evening, I am writing to you on an unplanned baby free evening. To be fair the babies have been out all day and they will be staying out all night. I am full of a cold, i feel weak and so so tired.
We had a bit of a rough night, they usually sleep well between feeds but this morning they woke up after two hours and were on and off falling asleep/waking up so by the 8am feed i was shattered. My other half took them to his parents at 9am and i slept 9-12pm. I took some flu tablets and had a bath but i still feel crap so they are keeping them overnight. Plus i really don't want them to get ill.
HAVING GREAT PARENTS (Grandparents) IS A BLESSING!
This is one thing i have learnt since they were born. We are now 10 weeks old (tomorrow) and i could not have survived this long without my Mum and Dad and my fella's Mum and Dad. They have all taken it in turn to come at 7am in the morning (when Rick goes to work) to help me bring the babies down and care for them throughout the day. They tend to feed around the same time which is a challenge itself, mostly because Ben has reflux and Poppy tends to dribble big time. So it is better to feed them one at a time, which is hard alone. I have managed to feed them at the same time twice on their twin pillow but it really disturbs them and they don't eat the full bottle.
They are doing really well at the moment, they have put on 4lb since birth! and we now weigh 8lb 11oz.
It's really hard with Twins. I never knew it would be so hard, but when they smile its so worth it :)
