Well the babies are now 9 weeks old! My girls are lovely.

If your up to it...there is a journal too....get a tea if your up to a
lengthy read!..lol The link can be found on the pictures page

They have been exclusively fed from the one functional breast. They  are
growing at an awesome rate. I've last weighed them at 5 weeks where it
showed they had gain the respective weights:

Amy:
birth- 3345 g
5 weeks- 3799 g

Nicole:
birth - 2920 g
5 weeks - 3600 g

I  would bet they were both now over 4000 gms at present, especially Amy
(the voluptuos one to Nicole's delicate petiteness). They have sucked on a
paci less than a dozen a peice that that thas only been in the car and one
is not happy about being strapped in! They are very contented babies 99% of
the time.

I'm so happy! A bit lope-sided to say the least, but estatically happy.
Supply truly meets demand!
A life saver has been been my OAMER. The girls drink quickly and often so it
really prevents them from getting hungry at the same time, and if they do,
the wait for some boob isn't too long. At 9 weeks they are able to sleep
longer periods at night so I get some good rest.

I'm writing an article about my breastfeeding experiences for
Mothering...wish me luck in it's getting published.

Well thats it for now. Keep up the good works ladies.
