Hi ladies,
Not been on in a while - hands very full!! I have a sleeping baby in my arms (number 2 has gone up with DH). I've got very good at texting/ typing with one hand though. Things are much better - I stopped breastfeeding just over a week ago and that made life so much easier and me less hormonal. The boys are thriving, over 8 and 9lbs already - so much bigger than the 5lb tiddlers in my avatars!
Getting to sleep is so much better now we've stopped trying a routine. Don't know if I posted on here about a few nightmares where it took till 1am to get them settled. We keep them down with us till bedtime then take them up and keep up the noise - it's proven more effective (touch lots of wood). Bless them, they are getting used to the world and beginning to recognise nighttime for bed.
I can now drive again after my section and am getting into a sort of routine with my days; getting us all up, fed and dressed takes a while - some days I get a shower, others not. Days when my parents come are great!! I did have quite a few weepy days on my own, feeling it was all beyond me seeing to 2 New babies at once but we're getting there now - I'm more relaxed on the occasions the boys kick off at once; I know that as long as they are fed, changed and healthy there are times when they both have a good cry... It doesn't bring me out in tears anymore - I know they're fine and how to deal with each in their own way. One needs his head stroking and his dummy, the other a good wind over my shoulder... Which can be done both at once!!!
Since last posting I've lost more weight (about another 6lbs). When converting to stones I'm below 12 for the first time in over a year... Intend to stay here now! Again I can't really say it's because I'm following any particular plan, just being a busy Mum to twins!!! - I literally have not got time to snack... Getting breakfast and lunch doesn't happen every day - often I manage a quick butty around 11ish then DH and I have tea quite early at the mo. A weekly treat has been nipping to the carvery round the corner where we can get a quick roast dinner and lots of veggies with the boys asleep in their car seats - we used to eat out a lot but can't really wait around long enough to order etc Now!! It's all good though - we must be saving a fortune!! I also think more weight has come off since I've packed in breastfeeding... I'll be left with seriously empty boobs though - cue spaniel ears!!!!
Hope any readers are doing well!

the twins must keep you very busy!
