This also reminded me that I need a little nightlight or something for our room. I had a disk that sat on my bedside last time and I just pushed the button. The light was bright enough to see without being so overwhelming for DH who needed to sleep. I love this one, though it's a little pricey for what it is.

Ugh pambee, sheet changing at night is the worst. I'm still learning boy diapers. The nurse showed me to stick the penis pointing down. Haven't gotten sprayed yet but I'm sure it's coming. My H/nurses has done almost all the diapers though, since I'm still recovering from the c section.

Also for nightlights, amazon has these dimmer switches that I have for the lamp by my bed. I’ll find a link... Lutron Credenza Plug-in Dimmer for Halogen and Incandescent Bulbs, TT-300H-WH, White www.amazon.com/dp/B0000BYEF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-pQFCb90Q3CHYThere are several brands, but that’s the one I bought several of 4 years ago. I’m DYING because one of the reviews has a picture of it with their “magic massage wand” and how it slows the motor down to a perfect speed 😂 Not just for lamps!

It's been about 2.5 hours since H last nursed but he's not interested in eating again yet. I'm tired and want to go to sleep but I know he'll wake me up within the next hour and man do I hate that barely-asleep groggy feeling. My eyes are getting so heavy though...😴

Ugh tapdancer I hope you got some sleep eventually! MH went back to work yesterday and conveniently H woke up to nurse right as MH was leaving both mornings, which means I had to do the diaper change. We need to work on timing 😂

You want to sleep so bad but you know it’s worse to be woken up as soon as you fall asleep!

Understandably so, lol. 2.5 hours, while an improvement, isn't exactly a great rest 🤣 Hopefully you can get a cat nap or two in today!

Of course I waited about another 30 minutes before passing out and he ended up giving me 1.5 more hours after that 🤦 Which was great, but then I was mad I didn't just go to sleep early like I wanted!

These nursing cravings are so much stronger than my pregnancy cravings 😂 I am a bottomless pit. I'm snacking on some chocolate chips but I really want a cheeseburger....🍔

DH just made me a fruit smoothie so at least I could feel like I was eating semi healthy. I'm never going to lose the baby weight.

I did not stock up on good snack foods when I made my grocery order last time (since it was before he was born, lol) so I have a not great selection. Hence the chocolate chips 😂 I was pleasantly surprised at my weight loss at my appointment yesterday...but couldn't help but think of what it could have been had I not been eating for 2.5 weeks straight....

I'm snacking on some chocolate chips but I really want a cheeseburger....🍔 That reminds me of when my D1 was a baby. She would take soooo long to eat and then only nap for 30-40 mins at a time. So I’d be racing around in my “free” time to get minimal chores done and every.single.time. I would finally sit down and crack open the lid on my ice cream and she would wake up as I took my first bite. I swear she had some sort of 6th sense.

The babies have been giving us 2.5 hour stretches. My body is ready for these to lengthen into 3-4 hour stretches tho.

At 2:30 this morning I sent my husband a link for vasectomies.
But dd was only up a handful of times so I can’t really complain. It’s more Already being over c-section restrictions. I know I need to take it easy and soak in the next few weeks but oh man do I miss feeling normal and having my routine with the kids.

For the most part, yes! We will wake one if the other wakes, but they seem to naturally be at similar nap lengths, etc. Usually one or both start stirring. I've heard this is more common with identicals because same DNA? Pretty cool.

For me the hardest part is waiting for my stamina to come back. I can DO anything right away.... just not for more than 15-20 minutes. Or less haha. I just hit the one month mark and I feel pretty much back to normal now, did a full ikea walk through yesterday and didn’t feel like that was IT for me for the day. It will come! The waiting sucks.

I'm up. Babies both fed at 12, then had a heart test in the room (NICU did it but just wrote pass, Mother-baby requires a number), and now baby L is getting his hearing redone as he only passed one side.
