I love my children.

Everyday I wake up, I'm thankful for the little blessings God has gave me. My son Jacob is my mini me, he's so much like me. It may be hard at times, but its all worth it. I'm molding them with my love and attention so they can grow up to be healthy adults. My favorite word is Mommy, there is so much behind that one word.

The twins are almost a month old!

I get no sleep, and its not the babies fault. Its social media's fault. I need to take naps when they sleep but I turn to facebook or twitter.
My twins are breastfeed and formula feed. I have Zola on Neosure but I'm going to switch to enfacare. I've used Enfamil with Jacob and it's easy to mix and the smell isn't that bad. Nursing the twins is hard! My boobs hurt and the pain is sometimes unbearable. Zev latches on perfectly but Zola doesn't. I think its cause she so small and she can't open her mouth as wide as Zev does, or it can be nipple confusion. Idk but I'm so happy Zev latches on good cause I hate pumping and I rather just have him nurse. I have the Medela pump and I have a good amount of milk stored so far but I feel like a cow being milked. I barely pump with Jacob, plus it was easier cause it was only one baby and he nursed well. When Jacob was about 3 months he started latching on wrong, and OMG the pain! I had to stop nursing him for a few weeks so I can heal and we had him on formula. He seemed to like formula after that so I kept giving him formula plus the breastmilk. Jacob was a very chubby baby, chubby and happy. So I just bought a Medela nipple shield online and I'm going to use that when I nurse Zola. But other than that everything is going great.
