UGH. After my c-section I had the normal amount of postpartum bleeding, it went away completely after about a week and a half. Then at the end of June I started bleeding again all of a sudden, extremely heavy but I figured okay you can technically, though fairly rare, get a period while breast feeding and being on the mini pill so this is probably just a period. It kept on extremely heavy for a week so I went to my doctor and she put me on regular birth control pills, and told me to take two a day instead of one. I also have a 2 inch cyst on my left ovary. Awesome. Okay the regular birth control pills worked with stopping the bleeding and caused my milk supply to be all but gone, but then Tuesday night I started bleeding - AGAIN! I’m so sick of this already! So today I have to have another D&C because my uterus lining is very thick and I have a lot of clots to pass. Yuck, right? So that’s what I’m doing today. Looks like I’m out of commission - again. Grr.
I bet you are so happy that you know what’s going on with my uterus now. Hey, you didn’t have to keep reading, I warned you!

So the first night home with both girls was pretty much the same as having one of them here. It was actually a piece of cake lol! Maybe it’s a fluke… I dunno. They’re both just so happy and content. I’ve heard people with one talk about the first few weeks being hell on earth and I’m really starting to wonder what’s wrong with my babies? lol
Why aren’t they driving me crazy yet? They are both just so amazing. I wasn’t sure how I would handle the sleep deprivation but there is seriously nothing I’d rather be doing than waking up every 3 hours to those two little angels. They are off to a great start as far as scheduling goes. They eat every 3 hours. You know, I probably would be going crazy if I let them just eat whenever they felt like it. Some people are opposed to putting babies on a schedule and I have a feeling it’s those people who complain about their babies being difficult.
Anyway, guess what? I don’t think I ever specifically said how much weight I gained while pregnant. Well, I gained 60lbs. As of today I have 20lbs to lose. Yay
I’m going to take an after pregnancy photo and show you the difference. I’m excited about this, so I have to brag.
My incision is almost fully healed. I can’t wait until it is completely for two reasons. 1. I want my husband really bad (ha TMI right? You can expect that around here. ) and 2. I can’t wait to work out again.
I need to get off this computer and pump because my awesome new size D boobs are seriously throbbing. TMI again. 
Coming home

We’re going to pick up Emma right now!
She finally gets to come home!!!! I’m so excited…. but kind of nervous too! I’m going to be uber paranoid about her for a while… It’s been super easy so far with just Ava here so we’ll see how it goes with two! I don’t imagine it will be that bad, they are both so calm all the time. They are both on the same eating schedule too so that helps a lot. I can’t wait till they are breastfeeding instead of getting pumped milk. It will really cut down feeding time. They should be a lot more capable of breastfeeding closer to their original due date. We are working on it though! Ahh I am so excited!!!!!

Emma wasn’t able to come home today… she failed her car seat test that checks her breathing while in the car seat. She’s just so little so her head crunches over really bad. So they will redo it up to 3 times and if she keeps failing she will have to use a car bed.
So anyway hopefully tomorrow! I was pretty sad that a car seat was keeping her from coming home… but I know it’s for the best.
