Sleep: We started allowing the girls to eat & sleep on demand at 4-5 weeks. They are waking up every 3 hours on their own. Ryan had a couple nights where she slept 4 to 5 hours straight. Harper slept 5 hours straight on two separate occasions.
Eat: 25% breastmilk & 75% neosure formula. My supply isn't keeping up with the girls demand so they are becoming more dependent on formula. I started pumping exclusively at 5 weeks when the girls went through a growth spurt. After returning to work at 6 weeks I decided to quit pumping by 7 weeks. Keeping up with feeding the girls, caring for them, and work made pumping difficult.
Diapers: Both girls are in size newborn diapers.
Clothes: officially in newborn onesies! We were not prepared to have our daughters in preemie clothes so the NICU gave up bags full of preemie outfits for them. So to pay it forward we donated the outfits and new preemie clothes back to the NICU.
Talk: Both girls are grunting, cooing, and making tons of noises.
Other:
Harper: Started giggling, smiles, a lot, loves the activity mat and swing, follows you with her head when you walk by, and is a great snuggler.
Ryan: Smiles a lot, responds to her name most of the time, loves the bounder, pee'd on mom once, loves pacifiers, and loves watching mom & dad when laying on their chest.
Together: Started Daycare, they like to out scream one another, they have started focusing on each other when on the mat.
