Week 4

My second day of being completely alone with the girls.

It's gone OK so far, we're all 3 still alive. We go out for walks during the day, the girls sleep in the stroller while I try to get back in shape.

Breastfeeding both at the same time is virtually impossible and is stressing us all 3 out totally. With nobody here to help me position the girls they just don't get positioned right, they roll off the pillow, get angry and scream. Then I get stressed, and it ends with me just giving them a bottle each instead. No tears, no stress, much easier. I'll breastfeed 1 while the other sleeps. Though they're pretty syncronized when it comes to eating and sleeping, they're not 100% synchronized - I'll take advantage of that next time.

1 Month

WOW, I can't believe they are already a whole month old!

I can't believe it's been a month since I was at the hospital pushing, wondering what I was pushing out. I can't believe these amazing little lives have been in our life for only 1 month!

They can already focus on things for longer periods of time, they move their heads towards objects of interest, they can almost hold their heads, and they love pushing themselves up into a standing position.
