Cheryl- I'm soooo thrilled for you! Wow! Triplets!!! How wonderful and exciting! I'm so glad to hear about another success story from donor embryos. I could not love my two anymore if they weren't donor embryo. We definitely want you to continue to update us about your pregnancy!

Robin- I was thinking the same thing as Laura about the bleeding and possible heartbeat(s)! I know that most of the women I've heard about who've had bleeding (myself included) have had multiples with the bleeding. It's also wonderful that you got pregnant so easily! Congratulations!

A- I'm glad you are able to see your friends again. We still haven't done too much except like go to Target or someplace like that with the twins. Hopefully, it will get easier in the next month or so.

Patty- Restaurants! Oh how I miss those! I can't wait until they can handle them too!

My coworker had her baby on Thursday. We went to visit her and the new baby boy yesterday. It was hilarious because our babies were still smaller than her son especially the hands!! He was like 9 lbs. 13 oz at birth!

We're trying the car seat now at night for Harper. She's able to sleep for like 3 hours at a time now without being held so it's an improvement. Hopefully, this will continue to increase. They went 7 1/2 hours between feedings on Saturday night! Woo hoo! Hope the trend continues!

I go back to work two weeks from today. It's going to be so odd not to be with Harper and Jackson all day! I really don't know how I'm going to handle it.

I'm still trying to wean down on the pumping. I'm down to pumping 3 times per day as of yesterday. The problem is that I'm pumping nearly 16 oz between both breasts at each pumping session!! So I don't think there's anyway I'll be totally dried up by the time I go back to work. However, if I'm down to 2 times a day that would be great and they could still be getting a lot of breast milk that way. Our deep freezer has at least 50 eight ounce packages of frozen breast milk as well! I feel like a milk machine!
