Things are going well here. I'm getting some sleep but it sure doesn't feel like much. When Jack was a baby I would just nap when he did but I can't do that anymore because he doesn't want to sleep whenever the babies sleep and I kind of have to watch him ;).
I'm still struggling with breastfeeding. The babies are not strong enough to breastfeed solely yet. I can get Megan latched on and nursing pretty good once in awhile. It's frustrating though because I know she's not getting that much since when I offer her the bottle after 30 minutes of nursing she'll drink a full feeding. It takes so long to nurse too, she just keeps going and going. I'm still pumping but I've already had this hospital pump for two weeks and that's $70.00. I'm not having much luck with my milk supply. I have to be honest that whenever I think about pumping or trying to breastfeed I just dread it. I only get enough milk each day for each baby to have one feeding. I'm not sure how long I'll keep this up. It's exhausting trying to pump for them and feed them along with nursing sometimes. It can turn feeding into an hour and a half ordeal.

Oh good luck, it must be hard to do with three littlies. Maybe it's better then for you to put both on the bottle? The stress of pumping and the cost of it is not worth it, value your own emotional and physical well being more (than the stress I mean.)
