Life with twins!

Well, we survived our first night without help and with Dean having to work the next day. It didn't go that bad, actually! I did have to wake him up, but early in the night, around 11 or so, and he was able to go back to sleep. The second feeding I just gave him Spencer to cuddle while he slept and it worked out perfect because Spencer ended up falling back asleep and I got an hour of sleep after finishing up Aubrey's feeding! Today is my first day by myself and so far I am handling things pretty good! Both babies are fed, dry, and sleeping soundly in their cribs and I am able to get some things done. I got to sleep until after 8 this morning and feel pretty rested...although I may sneak a nap with the next one the kids take! We had a busy day yesterday with two appointments. I had my 2 week post-partum checkup, even though it was only a week and a half since delivery, and everything looks good and I feel great. After my appointment the kids and I went back to the hospital for another follow-up with the lactation consultant. Both babies are back to birth weight now and are starting to actually breastfeed instead of just falling asleep! :) Progress is a beautiful thing! We go back to the pediatrician on Friday for Spencer to get another weight check, he has been having some trouble with spit-up and they want to make sure he is still gaining weight. So far he is doing great, even though he has both his parents freaked out by the amount of spit-up that can come out! I don't see how he can possibly have anything left to nourish him, but he looks good! :) Well, that is about it from us!!
