Sleep schedules continue to be nonexistent. After a couple of promising nights last week where babies slept for several hours straight at a time overnight, babies have apparently decided that we live in Japan again. Poor Jenn has probably not slept more than 4 hours between the hours of 11pm and 5am the past week. The general schedule lately has been for Jenn to get a nap from around 7 to 10 while I watch them sleep peacefully, then tag team and she replaces pacifiers about 500 times, then gets an hour or so while I get ready for work at ~6am.
The good news is that we've discovered the magic of swings. Babies probably will never suffer from sea-sickness, cause they're pretty much living in these swings now. Plug-in powered ones at that, no cranking or even battery changing. Jenn picked one up the other day at some second-hand store, and it worked well enough that we've got a new one to go with it. It's not a 100% cure-all, but it's pretty close.
Jenn has had the girls at the pediatricians a couple times for diaper rash (which is finally getting better), and both girls are around 2 lbs above their birth weight. They're starting to eat more as well; Kayla has put down 5 and 6 oz of formula in a sitting a couple of times, and Megan's average feeding is probably pushing 4oz now. You don't really notice the growth in Megan, since she's still trailing Kayla in size/weight, but with Kayla, every once in a while when you pick her up, you definitely feel her getting heavier.
