We've been home from the hospital with the kids for 36 hours now. Sorry it took me awhile to post some photos. So far so good. The kids were on a 3-hour feeding cycle in the hospital and we seem to be sticking to that schedule so far at home. If it ain't broke, don't let Chris try to fix it.
So, it takes us about an hour to wake up, change, feed, and dress the kids. Which leaves them about 2 hours to sleep until the next feed. It's much easier for us than a shorter cycle that would be typical of pre-term kids, but they're eating so well that this seems to be working. I wouldn't say we're well-rested but it is fantastic to be home.
Jacob barely registered that we had left the hospital. Home is where the breast is.
Molly was pretty wired at first. She couldn't sleep at all during the first cycle, but she seems to have calmed down since.
Kate's mom's maternal instincts seem to be in overdrive. I think she figures that if Kate is feeding her kids every 3 hours, then Lois had better have meals, baked goods and hot drinks on offer at least that often. The good news is that we're not wasting away anytime soon. The bad news is that I could use a little wasting away.
