In the meantime here is a short list of what has been happening...
- I had mastitis at the end of September- OMG, that business is PAINFUL!
- The boys started sleeping a little longer at night in October. We are no longer waking them to eat at night, but we still are waking up every 4-5 hours to eat.
- We had a 2 month well baby visit and the boys are GROWING! At 9 weeks H was 10.3lbs and A was 8.11. They are still a little small percentile-wise, but to me H seems HUGE!
- A & H took their vaccines like champs and had very minimal discomfort afterward. In fact A was happier than his normal self...weird!
- We took our first out of town overnight trip to visit our families. It went really well. The best part was two hours in the car each way of SILENCE!
- Both boys have a new love for the swing. It is seriously magical and we've borrowed a second swing so both can swing at the same time! It has the same effect as their car seats- instant sleep!
- We had two little animals for Halloween- a giraffe and a cow. They were pretty darn cute at Daddy's office party!
- Speaking of Halloween, we spent a chunk of time at the OB's office that day. I was having HORRIBLE breast pain, but I didn't have all the symptoms I had with mastitis. It was determined I may have some sort of breast yeast infection, but I wasn't showing any symptoms except that nice razor blade pain while nursing. My doctor prescribed some AMAZING nipple cream ( same as Dr. Jack Newman APNO) and the pain subsided rather quickly thank goodness!
- I took a HUGE step and packed up the leftovers from our IVF cycle. They will soon be making their way to our RE's office for donation. Hubs was ready to do it a LONG time ago, but it wasn't until I had the boys that I was ready to give up the goods. We are fairly sure we'll do this all again, but it will NOT be happening before these expiration dates roll around!
- Packing for two babies is A LOT of work. I'm already getting things together for holiday travel.
- I'm not a huge fan of the mini pill.... more on that another day.

Glad to hear an update from you, I think of you guys often! Mastitis sounds awful, but I'm glad you got some relief. The swing was a lifesaver for us too for a while, so good thing you found what works to give you a little break.
What a great update :) All sounds to be going nicely. I'm sorry about the mastitis, yikes, poor thing :( Good news to hear you say you want to do it again...you must be really loving life and not thinking how tough it is that you couldn't do it again! You're a good mama :)
Oh my gosh- mastitis is TERRIBLE. I almost quit pumping over it. And APNO? My new best friend. It sounds like your little guys are doing great. Our Molly is only 10.7lbs at 15 weeks- I bet H is huge! It's crazy to have the size difference, isn't it? After you've been holding H, A probably seems like a newborn again.
I'm glad to hear you're surviving! Life with Hazel is pretty easy but I can't imagine twice the work so it makes me happy to see you hanging in there and STILL nursing. So proud of you!
