Hanging in There

Well the news is we are all trying to hang in there. Very, very little sleep the past few days as Lola's reflux has increased with trying to increase the volume of her feedings. She has the saddest little (well actually very loud) cry when it happens. I think it scares her. Both Lily and Lola have decided to take turns (how sweet) on being fussy between their 3 hr. feedings from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. We are going to go back down on the volume of feedings and see if that helps. We are also going to try sleeping somewhere other than the crib, like their Moses baskets. During the day they nap great in those, we are thinking the crib may just be too big and they are used to much more boundaries from NICU bedding.
They have to both be gaining weight as their 0 - 3 month onsies are getting tighter! They have rolls of fat on their legs and tummies. Yea girls.
Will try to post pictures later this week.
Love, Mel

Hang in there guys! It is so hard living without sleep! I hope the moses baskets work out! We love you all very much!

I think you're right on track with the thought of the crib just being too much after the coziness of the NICU beds. Plus, sleeping in a little padded basket sounds really comfortable to me!!

Keep hanging in there...
