Our first successful night!

Finally! We actually managed to get the kids to sleep in the crib last night...and get a fair amount of rest ourselves! Not sure why I don't think we did anything different, other than maybe hold the kids a bit longer till we tried to put them down. Even with my snoring we still managed to get some sleep. Got to figure out how we are going to do this when Jagr goes back to work tho. Not sure he can sleep too well in the bedroom, and I'm still half afraid we are going to miss the kids fussing in the night. A lot of that is to do with how tired and just falling into a pure exhausted sleep from which it would be hard to wake even the dead.

Otherwise it's hard to imagine that the girls are now a week and 1 day old and I really would have spent today just fretting and thinking about tomorrow when I should have had a scheduled c section. I kind of miss the feeling of them moving in my stomach...

Oh and I jumped on our scales at home and was shocked! I was around 286 the last time I was weighed at the Dr's office would have been the Thursday before the birth. My scales are trying to tell me I'm 245lbs... now I know I didn't put on that much weight but damn that seems off...not that I'm going to complain if it isn't a complete lie but sheesh! My starting weight was 272 so em yeah. If the scales aren't lying that's a good start for me towards getting back into shape and some reasonable weight. I'm determined to loose a lot of the excess weight and I'm motivated. The girls are just so wonderful and I want them to be proud of their Mum and I want to be active with them and carrying this much weight now I know that's not possible.

Right now I'm just busying myself doing little bits of housework here and there. Not that I'm saying we are untidy we aren't particularly but we have the areas we don't clean as well as we should. So I'm actually trying to get into better habits, like emptying the draining tray of items and trying to let it dry properly, specially now as I have to worry about baby bottles and hygiene more.
