Shannon, congratulations!  I'm thrilled that this poor little fella is
finally having something go right for him. :)

I do have one suggestion, one that I make to the expectant twin moms I
teach and that is:  It is not necessary to feed both babies at both
breasts each feeding. It works very well to put baby A on the right
breast on MWF and baby B on the right TThS. Free for all on Sunday.
It makes trying to figure out who and which side and so on so much
easier.

Also, she might want to take advantages of one of the *good* (there are
poor ones) twin nursing pillows so that she can nurse both at the same
time.  She's going to be spending a lot of time nursing and simultaneous
nursing can be a life saver. (I will be happy to recommend a couple and
help steer her away from a few others, email me privately)

As usual, its going to be tough to "get plenty of rest", but it will
likely make a significant difference in her production.  It would be
terrific if she had "only" to take care of the babies for several weeks
and the regular household duties handled by someone else.

Shannon, I know that you are very proud of this family, and I hope you
are very proud of yourself as well.  If we ever meet, I'll give you a
pat on the back for a job so well done. :)
