Best part of your week? Interacting more with the little ones. And I figured out how to bottle feed at the same time. And I got almost 8 hours of interrupted sleep last night. Win!!
Worst part of your week: Mr has to work 9am-10pm Friday and Saturday, and 9am-4pm yesterday after working regar hours last week and this week. It was very difficult caring for both babies by myself nonstop for all that time. I'm feeling much better mentally today, but it was a rough weekend.
No milestones yet.
We got our newborn pics back!! Here are a couple.
LOs Age(s): 12 weeks yesterday
Best part of your week? It was a great week here - Sleeping in his crib and getting 8 hour stretches and a total of 11 hours each night. And we finally have giggles!! I've been dying for them and yesterday he giggled for about 5 minutes straight while I was talking to him. It was amazing! Also, my supply has increased and I have started a freezer stash. Exclusively pumping made me wonder if I'd ever keep up with him but here we are, 11 weeks of EP and I'm finally keeping up
Worst part of your week? Not sure if there is one? Although I don't know if I mentioned it here - I'm getting laid off whenever I finish my current work project. I'm excited for more time with LO but not excited for the financial cut.
Milestones? Giggles! Moving to his crib.
PIP those kiddos!
Eta - making him a week older than he is. Whoops!
LOs Age(s): 5 months
Best part of your week? Everything! He's so much fun to interact with right now.
Worst part of your week? 4 more student days. 4 more.
Milestones? Standing! He can't pull himself up obviously, but if I stand him up he'll hold onto the couch and play.
PIP those kiddos!

LO Age: 13 weeks
Best part of week: We went to a Mommy and Me group today and she was the youngest in the class but she was fully alert and enjoying the singing!
Worst park of week: We are back to 3 am & 5 am wake ups. Momma is not happy... Her Dr said it is probably a growth spurt but it's been over a week so hopefully this spurt ends soon.
Milestones: She is almost starting to roll! She rolls to her side and figured out how to spin herself but the rolling is going to be coming soon.

How are you feeling? large, but otherwise, pretty good.

Michelle & Michael
Married - August '10
TTC - Since September 2011
Created by MyFitnessPal - Free Calorie Counter
TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermBest part of week: He's much more alert this week and starting to actually focus on our faces. We've gotten a couple smiles which I'm not certain are just gas related.
Worst park of week:
I ended up in the ER on Friday night. I've been having a pain in my back, which I was hoping was just him pressing on muscles....but I had a major attack on Friday night. I could barely breath and I was moaning in pain. It sucked to watch Jim worry about me, while trying to get a screaming baby into his car seat. A five hour visit, complete with an ultra sound, a chest xray and a CT scan, I've got gallstones and my gall bladder will be coming out in the next couple of weeks.
Milestones: He's much more alert this week and happily plays on the floor for chunks of time.
Baby Boy born 5.3.15
Best: He's been a trooper! We've had three busy days in a row where he was out later than normal and has done awesome!
Worst: He must be getting another tooth. He's been finicky about food and wants cuddles every 20 minutes or so.
Milestones: He can suck out of a pouch! I was going to see if he can do it through a straw but DH washed the new straw cups and we can't get the straws back in. Ha!

Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
Best part of your week? My parents being here. My mom helped me finish his nursery and stayed up with him some nights.
Worst part of your week? Just trying to get our own routine. I broke down several times Bc I have an irrational fear that he is going to go back to the hospital. He has some constipation which is pretty terrible too.
Milestones? Being at home. He has really found his voice too!
My mom with her grand babies.
And him finally sleeping after 3 hours of crying!
