I am exhausted. I feel sort of like a zombie with only half a brain left. But I also realize that this is probably nothing compared to how tired I'll be when the girls are finally home with me. I think if I didn't have to worry about anything else that I could lay down and sleep for at least 12 hours and I would love it!
So many nurses have told me to keep being patient with the breastfeeding thing and that eventually something will just click and she'll get it. I think they are all liars! We've been at this since April 1st and nothing has clicked. I felt like tonight was going to be our best test weight yet. I could hear her swallowing and she had a good suck-swallow-breathe rhythm going on. I was so disappointed that she only got 16 mls. Nothing's clicking for her yet!
I've been so busy with packing and the move that I haven't been tracking how much milk I pump each day. I started tracking today and was very disappointed to see I only got 29 oz. I've been consistently getting 40 since the girls were 2 weeks old. I haven't been drinking enough water or been good about pumping every 2-3 hours. I'm hoping that if I start that back up again, I will get my milk back. Keep your fingers crossed that I won't have to start using my freezer supply just yet!
