Day 24 - Night Nanny

So last night I stayed at my sister's to help out with the night shift. She had bought new formula because the one she was using was making the girls a bit internally blocked if you get my drift. So we don't know if it was the formula or the wonderful night nanny (me!) but they girls slept like a charm. They were behaving in perfect textbook fashion. We have really ironed out some kinks now and they are drinking more quickly, settling themselves in bed and sleeping a good two hours between feeds. Woo hoo!

I helped my sis with the 6.30am feed, then headed off to the gym around 8ish. Did upper body weights and 20 mins cardio on the bike. Really pushed myself today all round. I'm starting to enjoy the bike more. As long as I'm listening to good tunes, I enjoy thrashing my legs. Even took this photo I was enjoying myself so much!

After the gym, went home, fed my cat, got scrubbed up and headed back to my sister's. We had the same sort of day as the previous night, the girls were drinking well and sleeping well. It's such a relief. And great that my sis is FINALLY catching up on some sleep. Tonight will be her first night without help since she got home from the hospital. Well my BIL is there of course if she needs him but he needs to get some sleep for his busy workday tomorrow. I hope tonight goes as well as last night for them!

So now, home sweet home. It's kinda nice to just sit and only worry about feeding myself...which ridiculously I do more often than the babies schedule...I feed every 2-3 and they feed every 3-4 hours!
