Good News!

Walt gained 11 oz. in 3 days and Daisy gained 6 oz. Walt is now 8 lbs. 3 oz. and Daisy is now 7 lbs. 3 oz. What I did these past 3 days was nursing a full nursing and then gave them each 1 oz. of formula and so they were taking 8 oz. of formula in 24 hours. My doctor told me today to let them eat as much as they want from a bottle after nursing. He was happy they gained, but still wants to see them next week to be sure they're still going up. So we were happy about their growth!

I'm so glad they are gaining. That can be so stressful. Tessa lost almost a pound when she was 2 weeks old. I felt so bad for putting a pacifier in her mouth everytime she cried because she really was hungry. Duh! Why is it that I still haven't learned with my 4th? Your babies are so cute. Seeing them brought back so many memories of my twins. What a special time, but so much work! I hope you are getting some rest.
