Okay, so we went back for a weight check this morning and we are getting fatter! Hailey gained 12 ounces in a week and Matt gained a whole pound! Yayayayayay!!! I'm so happy! We saw a different doctor today who was very impressed with their physical abilities and said that everything looked great. He thinks we should continue to supplement with the formula since it is working so well. My breastmilk production isn't really increasing like I thought it would (it's been a week since starting to introduce the Mother's Milk tea and pumping all the time), so the formula will continue to give them strength. The breastmilk will give them necessary antibodies, so I will continue that for a while. I couldn't be happier!
What else has been going on? Oh, Matthew smiled yesterday...a real smile! Granted, he hasn't done it since, but we got a bunch of good ones in there. It was so adorable...I just love him! Hailey is trying so hard to smile...she keeps looking like she's about to and then scrunches up her face instead! I can't wait until they're both smiling and looking happy. They are making all of these noises when they're eating now (probably b/c they're actually getting nutrients ;)) and they're so cute! Okay, enough gushing...
I have my first OB/GYN appointment this afternoon. I am going to bring the kids in for a little while to show the staff...they want to see them. Then Bill will bring them home while I have my appointment. I am going to ask about several things...the sciatica, the lingering pelvic pain, whether or not my abdominal muscles are separated, and birth control (I think I want an IUD...any thoughts?). I had to write all of that stuff down b/c my brain is fried and I don't want to forget anything. My belly is going down little by little...I still have this hang over part which is gross...I've never had that before, but what can I expect? It's only been 6 weeks, I'm not exercising, oh, and I was pregnant with twins for 38 weeks...duh!
Just wanted to thank my Mom for coming to visit this weekend...it was great having you here and I know you enjoyed your time with the kids. Also, thanks for helping me at the doctor's office this morning...couldn't do it by myself! Okay, off to clean up a little bit before the cable guy gets here. Have a great day! I know I will as I continue to fatten up my babies!

Grats on the doubly good weight check!! (Though I did not need to see you write out that they gained weight to know you were doing a fantastic job already!)
I don't want to even talk about the fold over belly thing. I still have it and unless and until I have plastic surgery I will die with it (but I did not get pregnant at an ideal weight so that very well could be my total problem!)
Let me know if you do go with Mirena- I have been tossing that idea around since 6 weeks postpartum (and yes I'm aware mine are almost 2 lol). Right now I just take the pill.
Have a great week!!!
So glad they are both putting on the pounds! Hope your appt went well too
oh...and thanks for your comments, always nice to know that someone else is in the same situation...I guess misery does love company ;)
