Monday's visit to the pediatrician revealed that both boys are indeed gaining weight! They are almost back to their birth weights. The news was a huge relief because only 3 days prior (at Friday's checkup), they had not gained any weight.
Waking them up to eat every 3 hours is finally paying off. The doctor said that, after then surpass their birth weight, we can let them sleep until they wake up hungry, which was more wonderful news for us because if they are sleeping for more tha 3 hours at a time, then maybe Elisa, our visitors, and I will be able to sleep more than 1.5 hours at a time.
Actually, when Elisa and I have help, we have developed a system where she pumps milk then two will feed while one rests through until the next feeding. It's exhausting, but it's worth it.

ReplyDeletegreat to hear that they're starting to grow big and strong.
ReplyDeleteby the way, if you need any help making them eat vegetables when they get a bit older, let me know and i'd be happy to try out some experimental techniques. none of them involve melted cheese! (they're all approved by the army field manual too...)
