Telegraphic News

1) Doing the washing-of-new-things for twin girls results in pink dryer lint.  I think I can safely say that I’ve never before had pink dryer lint. 
2) Increasing one’s pumping schedule from 6-7 times/day to 8 times/day (coinciding with baby’s feeds) and adding three breastfeedings a day and eating almost an entire batch of chocolate no-bake oatmeal [...]

Three Weeks

Posted in Chloe, Emma, Lactation, Photo on October 25, 2008 | 12 Comments »

Big news first:  One Chloe monster is currently sleeping in my dining room (in her pack & play) after a good nursing session.  I brought her home this afternoon, after she passed her car seat test yesterday, and had successfully taken in 150 ccs per 12 hours of milk or similar off-white substance (Neosure.)  I’m [...]

Two Weeks

Posted in Chloe, Emma, Lactation on October 18, 2008 | 8 Comments »

I can’t believe they’re two weeks old already!  Today was another sunny, perfect fall day, a lot like the day that they were born.  Not that I was allowed out on their birthday, but I do recall looking out the window.
Emma’s doing beautifully.  She’s up to 3 lbs 13 oz now, and is learning to [...]

Babies are doing great. No more TPN or lipids in their IVs, and they continue to decrease their IV fluids as they take more and more in their tubes. I’m changing diapers, taking temperatures and holding for feeds now, which is just wonderful. And, as you can see in the pics, we now have fashion [...]

So I was bored on Saturday, and decided to have some babies to spice things up!  OK, not really.
At my OB appointment on Wednesday my BP was going up just a little, so we did a 24 hr urine for protein.  OB’s office called me Friday afternoon and I had a fair amount of protein [...]

Party!

Posted in Photo, Pregnancy on October 1, 2008 | 13 Comments »

We hit 32 weeks today.  So I went to see the OB again (every week now) and they were so excited they gave me a hat!  Well, ok, so it’s not a party hat.  And it might have had more to do with my blood pressure (142/92) and 2+ protein in my urine than, say, [...]
