Breast Feeding 101

Today was my first try at a nutritive feeding and it went really well. I was a little disappointed because Grace only got between 12-17 ML and Austin only got between 6-11 ML.. Boo! They put the rest in the feeding tube so they got what they needed. I guess it is normal for them to not get very much the first time but I was hoping they would just take off running. Things have been going so well lately and this is not a step back but we are going to take a little longer on breast feeding than originally planned.

Going home...The Dr. said today that we are getting closer but he was not willing to commit to a date. It all depends on how they do this week but they are still having brady's and desats so I am assuming all of that has to stop before they will be released.

Today, I went to Target to start picking things up for the twins' room and it felt so strange to be back at the newborn stage. I didn't have time to nest like I would have so I am on fast forward.. especially if they come home so soon. I am feverishly putting everything together and we will be ready. :) It's a fun next step though and makes it all more real.
