Things that I love:
1. When I can throw a shirt in the dryer rather than ironing it!
2. The noises that my babies make when they're trying to wake up.
3. The fact that my husband loads and unloads the dishwasher without ever being asked.
4. Fall...gotta love Fall.
5. My family for always being there for me and never judging me.
6. The text messages I get from my sister about the Today Show.
7. Unexpected gifts that come from UPS.
8. Giving baths to my babies...they just love them!
9. My engagement ring...now if I could only get my wedding ring to fit again!
10. Rotisserie chicken - is it ever bad?
11. Taking the babies for walks - good for me and gets them out of the house into a new environment.
12. The fact that my husband will get up at 2 AM to get bottles ready to supplement the babies...he works, so this is no easy feat, but he does it without complaining.
13. Owning a house...knowing which way the sun comes into the windows, being used to all of the noises, knowing where everything is, and knowing that no matter what I am safe...gotta love that security.
14. Target.
15. Little white ankle socks that don't show above the line of your sneaker. I have trouble finding them, but when I do, I buy in bulk!
16. My car
17. Realizing that my husband has been home from work for 1/2 an hour and going over to finally get a kiss and a hug. I love that! I wish I was more on the ball, but he gets home at "crazy time."
18. Blogging...really, I do love it.
19. Pedicures...there is nothing better than looking down at a freshly polished toe!
20. My shower
21. The beach...God, I miss living at the beach. I grew up on an island and lived at the beach for 3 years in my 20's...now I'm landlocked and having issues with it!
22. Planners...I like to see what's going on!
23. Stella
24. Matthew's smile and knowing that Hailey is on the verge...come on Hailey! Matthew smiled at me at 2 AM when I got him up to eat...that made it all worth it. He probably didn't even know what he was doing, but it was well worth it!
25. Tomorrow...because I never know what's coming!
Ummm...Please Don't Steal My Craziness...Okay? Thanks!
People I Love...follow along if you're so inclined!

Matthew knows EXACTLY what he's doing...giving Mommy positive reinforcement. After all, he has some teacher in him.
I just read your post about when you had your ped. appt. and the LOs hadn't gained very much. I wanted to post it here so you saw it.
Almost the same thing happened to me. When I pumped, I didn't get much at all. Much less than you! But everyone told me that babies are better at getting milk out. Yeah right. This is not always true. One day I went to a breastfeeding support class and I weighed them before I nursed, then after. They were not getting ANYTHING! I was shocked.
I tried for awhile longer to nurse, and I just couldn't. Finally gave it up- and it was so hard to do, and I felt awful for a long time. But I think it was time to do it.
You are doing an awesome job still nursing!! It is such hard work, and very frustrating. However long you breastfeed, know that you did an awesome job! You may also want to look into getting Dom Peridone. You have to either get it at a compunding pharmacy or from another country. But it really works great! A friend of mine- another twin mom who also has PCOS like I do- took it and her supply finally came in fully. Her twins are almost 7 months and she's been exclusively breastfeeding for quite awhile now! Eating oatmeal is also supposed to help. Hang in there!
Oh, a pedicure! Even though I can barely see my toes, it still makes me feel good!
