At The Bottom

of the learning curve is where we are. Last night was better than the one before but by a fraction of a millimeter. A sleeps wonderfully all day and falls apart at night. Both A & V are learning to take from a bottle but now seem less interested in the breast (they like it as a pacifier but do not latch on well to eat). Lots of pumping. Not enough wet or dirty diapers (hardly any) but lots of gas and discomfort. They need to eat more and gain weight or the pediatrician will recommend something more drastic on Monday. I feel like wrestlers or boxers must before the weigh in. I have the goods, the milk is flowing, but it does not seem to be making them grow, process, rest. I am sure it will get better, but for now fF and I subsist on lots of naps ranging from 5 minutes to an hour. Our long stretch last night was 5:30am-7:15am. We could have kept going of course but the other midgets were up. On my way to take the big midgets to abuela's today, J complained that we were taking the bus and not a car. M said, "Mommy is not going to drive the new car because she is still on training wheels and she could crash it." J replied "It's already crashed." True. Remember from the snow day? I thought the image of me "on training wheels" summed it all up very well. Off to nap while J takes music class and M does stickers.
