Too early for math?

Since the gals are having such a hard time taking naps, one thought is that they are hungry. Granted, they are growing like gang busters and are in the 90th percentile for weight, but still...they could be hungry.

So we rented a baby scale from a local mommy and me store for $10 a week. I weighed them before they nursed this morning...

Miranda was 16 pounds 1 ounce.
Elizabeth was 16 pounds 12 ounces.

After eating Miranda was 16 pounds 7 ounces.
And Elizabeth was 17 and .5 ounces.

So Elizbeth got back to the breast and had a bit more to bring her up to 17 pounds 2 ounces.

Since they "should" be having about 6 ounces each feeding (up to about 32 ounces each per day), this was all very good news. They say nursing is all about supply and demand, but I can't imagine getting 64 ounces of milk each day. Crazy!

We did wonder how Elizabeh was 11 ounces more than Miranda when she was only 4 ounces more at the last doctor's visit. Then we realized that we had not changed her diaper. When we did, she lost 6 ounces. Damn, that is a lot of pee!
