Babies up and awake in their room

Things have slightly changed, we are working hard on dropping the midnight feeding and adjusting our schedule...

  1. Wow!! I'm exhausetd just from reading this! How do you do it? I'm glad you got a shower in. That's got to count for something, right? The babies are beautiful!

    (P.S. We haven't started solids yet but plan to do so this week. She'll be 6 months adjusted on Saturday)

  2. I remember those days (minus one of course). The pumping and feeding and taking care of big sister is exhausting. I hope you are able to drop the midnight feed soon. They all look chunky, so maybe you won't have to do it. We didn't drop our midnight feed until after ours were a year old because they needed the calories and did not eat well. How are yours so chubby? They are just too cute; they look very squeezable! Hope you are able to get more sleep soon.

    I hope they drop that midnight feeding soon so you can get a good nights sleep.

    They are getting so big!
