I'm spent.
V & E are almost 4 weeks old, this week my sweet little quiet babies have not slept much, can't get comfortable, don't feel like latching well. Miss Eloise was at the doctors yesterday for vomiting. She is better today, but I was just worried. I got E to pee in a cup, quite the adventure!
Today Vaughn has goop all over his eye. I'm massaging it and pressing a warm wash cloth on his sweet little eye.
I had to set them both down and go shower. It's been a week.
DH will be home and I will get some help. I don't want to call MIL or my Mom, I just want to get my house and babies together without anyone else here.
Iced coffee, Pandora (Michael Buble), and AC are keeping us content.
Vent over.

I tell myself the same thing... 'this will get better and it goes so fast...' FOUR weeks already. These little babies just melt my heart.
Thanks for the support. It's nice to come here and vent. When I vent to anyone IRL they act as if I need 50 people here, dinner and a maid.
...On the second thought, maybe I should vent a little more :P
To me, the first two weeks were bliss. It's just now that I'm in the trenches!
I know, this kills me

You're doing a great job! There's a growth spurt around 4 weeks, so that might be affecting them.
Try putting some breast milk in V's eye. I know it sounds crazy, but that stuff cures everything!
I totally read that Vaughn has poop all over his eye.
Atleast that isn't happening?
But in all seriousness, I admire how much you're able to do. Give yourself some credit... you're doing an enormous job and handling it well.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
You can vent here as much as you want/need!
At this point you are working on survival and it sounds like you are doing a great job. 4 weeks is seriously when the lack of sleep (and showering) really starts to get to you!
Good luck Mama! It is a tough but wonderful time.
