More Photos

So I had time to putter on the laptop while feeding Sean this morning at 3 am. You know you're a geek when you have your baby breastfeeding on one side and your laptop perched precariously on one knee on the other side.

Here is a link to go to the photoshare gallery in case you want to see more of the "birthday" photos, including a few more of me looking like Hell than I really mean to ever have on a blog (I hope I don't end up on one of those "fat chicks" sites-- HEY I was pregnant; not fat!)

Thanks so much for all the emails, comments, etc, that were waiting for me today when I even got a half a second to even think about email & the internet in a way that meant it was a possible way to spend a moment of time.

Yesterday was a day of breakthroughs. Sean & I came to an understanding about his breastfeeding. He likes the football hold, and he's fond of the left boob over the right. Once I figured this out, we've had a dozen great sessions. I know now that when he's feeding well, he squeeks every time he breathes. (This Maia does not do, except once, and it sounded like it was in answer to his squeeks. Twins. Freaky stuff).

Today, we've got our act together!! This is the first full day Andrew hasn't had to go to work for a little while, and we're hanging out in our front room as a family. I am amazed that it actually has only taken this long to get to where I am right now with them. Andrew & I got to sleep much of last night; the babies are happy & hanging out on a pillow next to me, sleeping. They had their first outing, etc, etc. The house is a bit of a mess but so what? I am having people come by Sunday to meet the babies, so someone'll have to clean up something, but it's fine for now.

What's funny is this: after a C-section, having a person literally poking me in the spine several times (it was scarier than it was painful-- the thought of what he was doing freaked me out a bit) the worst pain I am having right now is my tailbone. From sitting up in a hospital bed for three days, my butt got bruised & now, sitting even on a comfy surface like this couch hurts my poor tailbone. Ha ha so (not) funny. :)

So I'll try to keep up with the blog and maybe even (gasp) write something sometimes about something other than my gorgeous babies (although who would want to talk about anything else?). Goodness knows that while I'm feeding the babies, I am immobilized on the couch for a while, and since I have a laptop, I can do a lot of things. Multi-tasking. It's the new black.
