The M&M's had their 2 week check up today. They both gained about 8 oz which is almost 1oz per day since Dr. S saw them at their 1 week check up. Dr.S said their weight gain is the perfect amount! Mikey is back to his birth weight (6lbs 15oz) and Michaella finally broke 6 pounds (6lbs 4oz)!!! I'm glad to see they are doing well with their weights... that means switching to bottles (of pumped breast milk) is working out just fine and i don't need to feel like a bad mom for not having them on my boob hahaha! Dr. S said to keep up with what we are doing its working!
Dr.S also suggested we start forcing them awake every 2 hours during the day (even if its for 10 minutes) b/c then they will sleep longer at night and not to worry if they go 5 or so hours at night w/o stirring. Dr. S said as long as their weights are good no reason to wake them at night. I like the sound of that!!! That might make for long days of playing with two babies... feeding... pumping then back to playing but if it means i might get a 5 hour stretch of sleep i will do what i have to since as it stands now mike and i aren't napping anyway. Looks like house work will have to wait! Better stock up on more bottles doesn't look like i will have time to wash them during the day.
They don't have to go back to see Dr. S until after x-mas. So now we can just get into the groove of things and try to get an assembly of a normal life! HAHAHAHA!!!
Well off to try and grab a snack before the M&M's have to eat again!
