2 years later (I got a moment of peace!)

So this is probably my last post for the blog. I had no idea I had even updated it after their birth!  They are 2 now and very hard but lovely and rewarding work. 
I just read back on some of these posts and think a few things:
HG suffering is definatly worth it - look at them!  Never again tho :-(
Breast feeding - I did 14 months and no supplementing and I am immensely proud but really ladies, chill. If i had to go thru that thrush again or if I had twins again then I would erm...relax myself and maybe bottle feed after 3 months. 
Sleep - ahh well, forget it! They still wake every night for at least an hour or take it in turns to so I only get a full nights sleep about once every 2 weeks. Honestly!  teething or illness, or night terrors. I have heard age 3 is the magic 'ta da' age :-)
Weight gain...well apparently my metabolic rate was so shot from not eating for 7 months and bed rest that I was doomed to pile it on. I have been eating healthily every 3 hours and that helps. Cake I am afriad is bad ass and would make anyone gain weight. no. more. cake.  I had to stop running due to stability issues and hips from the preggo but am doing heaps of pilates now and barefoot running practise so maybe one day....... Tough 2.5 years but they are the best lil beans and it just gets better! if I had no HG, a killer body and a full time nanny I would have 12 kids :-)
