I'm just giving myself a wee pat on the back here!

The twins are 12 weeks tomorrow and I've managed to feed them exclusively on my milk.

They went through a terrible growth spurt last weekend when I could barely get to the toilet nevermind get dressed- they fed constantly, but that's calmed down.

They've gained weight every week and I'm very proud to be honest!

Hello Honey!
You are soooo selfless and a absolutely wonderful mum. You wee ones
are doing so well and look just as gorgeous as your other two. As I've
said before - I wish I had half of your patience.

Hope your night out on Sunday went well!

Take care.

Congratulations Lynie,

You have every right to be so proud of yourself!
It is hard enough to persevere with bf just one lo, so it just shows what determination and strength you have there.
You are doing so well hun.
Love and hugs to you all.

Well done Lynie - that's fab. Glad the wee ones are doing so well - can hardly believe they're 12 weeks already (tho I bet you can't imagine them not being here now!) You should be really proud of yourself.
