On the mend...

I think we are on the mend. Yesterday was pretty tough - for Ben and Doy anyway. I was pretty useless. I feel MUCH better today though. The girls are starting to eat formula and are not throwing up. Natalie has been very tired today and has slept most of the time between eating. Abby has been tired and grumpy, and not wanting to sleep like she should between eating. Abby has also gotten used to sleeping in the swing and being rocked and cuddled to sleep. When you put her down in her bed, she promptly wakes up. Hmmm. Tomorrow will be spent getting the girls back on a real schedule and back to their old habits.

We are going to weigh them tonight (we have a special baby scale) to see how much damage this illness has done. It's kind of disheartening since they were doing so well. But, such is life and we'll just have to hope they rebound well.

So far, Ben is still well. He's just understandably tired. Hopefully, he can get to bed a decent hour tonight and get some rest. Thank goodness for Doy who has been extremely helpful both with the girls and with cooking and keeping the kitchen clean. We are so grateful.
