Reddit glitches out on me too. Sometimes I just don't bother logging in for a few days.
Claire, I sent you that number for the group chat. Hopefully, it actually went through.
Zayid, your stories about women sound too good to be true. Almost surreal. Is it actually possible they're all that great?
I haven't taken mine off yet, and honestly, I don't think I will. Even when the sun is out, it’s never actually hot where I live. My apartment stays around 75 degrees at most, and then it gets chilly once night falls. I end up curling up on the couch under a blanket in the evenings. I really don't think they'll be too hot in long sleeves. The temperature is supposed to drop even more over the next few days. Besides, they aren't even a month along yet. It'll be autumn before we know it. I'm just counting down the days until that first ultrasound so I can finally see what's actually going on. They already feel huge compared to how they felt when I left the hospital.

Rebecca Roberts8, I don't know what to tell you, but my milk supply is just skyrocketing. It makes no sense. I pumped over a liter today alone. I’m pumping roughly every three hours because the engorgement hits so fast. One afternoon, a little guy fell asleep on me and put some pressure on my breast while lying on his stomach; by that evening, I had a fever and lumps from the pressure. Now, I can't even think about sleeping on my side or stomach for fear of the discomfort. I stick strictly to my back. It's exhausting. Honestly, I’m just counting down the days until they start solids so I can stop this constant pumping. With this much supply, I won't run out, but the routine is a burden. My electric Medela is the only thing saving me.
I haven't regained my pre-pregnancy waistline yet. My abs are finally showing, but my stomach is darker now and the skin feels much looser. I use Bio-Oil once or twice a week to manage it—it helped during pregnancy to keep things soft—but I struggle to stay consistent.
Clara, inspired by your suggestion about carriers, I pulled out the sling my cousin gave me. We started practicing how to use it. It’ll take some work, but we'll see if it actually works for us—or rather, for them.

Look what I stumbled upon. It’s overpriced as hell. Maybe I'll just wait for someone to buy it for me as a gift.

Clara, good luck if you actually manage to carry both at once. My back would probably give out. They claim it's ergonomic and weightless, but I highly doubt it. I'm still leaning toward the two-carrier option—one for Mom, one for Dad.😛

Finally managed to get into this thread. Reddit on my phone is acting up—links won't open, and the browser just crashes constantly. It's maddening.
Kudos to the guys for the update. >, less so to you for yours, but it’s fine. At least she finally got her swimming permit.👌
Our first checkup is in April, on the 20th. They’ll be almost a month old by then. We still have the scale the home health nurse left behind. Both have gained 3 lbs; since leaving the hospital three weeks ago, they've put on over 600g, one even hit 750g! They're feeding about 80-90mL seven times a day. It's still just one formula feeding, as I can manage the rest via breastfeeding. Thank God the nipple confusion has calmed down a bit.
One is incredibly chill and sleeps most of the time—he’s the one who gained 750g in three weeks. The other is much more active and alert, and he really struggles when he needs to poop. He gets cramps and cries, poor thing. Cycling his legs and light massages helped, but it's happening less often now, so we might try some drops to ease him up. That one is sensitive—red diaper area all the time, breakouts on his face... As for the second one, it's like he isn't even there; nothing seems to bother him.
