I'm an embarrassment to my kids, I know, but it all in good fun. I had to post their nudie pics. They are both doing great. It seems they are starting to wake up more each day so I am learning how to juggle a little more. Tomorrow will be the first day without help so it will be a big test. But it is only for a day.
I am having trouble with this whole nursing situation. I have been pumping this whole time because up until a week ago the doc's said I shouldn't due to their size and the energy they spend trying to nurse. So, when they gave me the O.K. I thought I would start right away but it wasn't that easy. I can't seem to get a groove or have the desire to work real hard at it. I really dislike nursing so I don't have the motivation. I just don't like throwing my bosom's at something and have it chase them. Pumping has been doable for now while I have someone hear to watch the crew while I take 10 to "milk" (as Payton calls it) 8 times a day. What do I do? Do I give the nursing a real go? Or keep pumping? Or take the easy way and give up (which sounds nice)? Any advice, pointers...anyone??? I don't think I am ready to bag the benefits that nursing has with weight loss and eating like a pig though so if I could do both that would be great. So, I do have to say that life it not too shabby if this is my biggest complaint right now. But I do need help with it so if anyone has any ideas my ears are open.

My advice? Give yourself a break and do whatever is the easiest for you! I wasn't good at juggling breast feeding with life and I only had one:) Keep pumping as long as it's doable and when it isn't, formula is just fine.
Call anytime you want to chat.
Nursing is hard for me too, even without twins. I always tell myself that i will give it a good try for like six weeks and then if it still is a huge pain do whatever is easiest. I also went in to the hospital and had the lactation specialist help me. I love the weight loss, eat-like-a-pig thing too!
