I wanted to document how 1 day went with the babies when they were 1 month old...so I can look back and remember.
June 6th 2011
Derrick took the first shift so I could get some sleep. I went to sleep at 8:00 and he stayed up past midnight.
1:30am Briggs wakes up--Feed/change/burp him. Fell asleep for 30 min while trying to burp him.
2:45am Sawyer wakes up--Feed/change/burp
3:20am Start pumping
4:00am Lay down to fall asleep...pray that Briggs will go longer than his normal 3 hour stretch.
4:20am Briggs wakes up. Feed Briggs--Sawyer starts grunting
4:40am Too tired to put Briggs back in bed so I fall asleep with Briggs in my recliner.
5:15am Derrick gets up with Sawyer
6:00am Derrick puts both babies back to bed
6:15am I start pumping
6:30am Older boys wake up
6:45am Make pancake batter. Tony wanted to make pancakes again for breakfast :)
6:55am Feed Briggs/change him...he peed all over me
7:20am Ate awesome pancakes
7:30am Derrick left for work
7:40am Attempted to lay down
7:55am Sawyer wakes up to eat.
8:00am G-ma and boys cleaned up and went to the park
9:30am Pump...babies started crying so I had to stop, got milk warmed up/changed diapers
10:15am started pumping again. Called lactation specialist to help with ideas for milk supply
11:00am G-ma and boys got home
11:45am Pumped
12:00pm Went to Costco. G-ma stayed with all the boys. I needed a little break :)
1:45pm Got home and ate lunch
2:00pm Latched Sawyer and he nursed for 15 mins then he finished a bottle.
2:40pm Latched Briggs and he ate for 15 mins then finished a bottle.
3:30pm Layed down
4:30pm Tried to latch both Sawyer and Briggs--unsuccessful. I am really sore at this point.
5:00pm G-ma and I bottle fed the babies
5:30pm Derrick got home
6:00pm Ate dinner that G-ma made for us.
7:30pm Bottle fed the babies with Derrick
8:00pm Pumped
8:45pm Went to bed. Derrick stayed up for the first shift so I could get some sleep.
11:30pm Woke up to pump while Derrick was feeding the babies
This makes me tired just writing it all down. This is the exciting things we did on the babies' 1 month birthday.

Makes me tired, too. You are amazing. I hope you start getting some more sleep soon!
reading that exhausted me!
Idea for milk, A&W rootbeer, has a yeast that helps with milk production.
Exhausting! Sounds like you are doing a great job. Keep it up!
