"You don't plan to breastfeed do you?"

I get this ALL the time. The answer is yes, I plan to breastfeed and hope that I can do it successfully for all three of the babies for the first 6 months at least. I know I will be a milking machine for awhile but that's OK because it's what's best for the babies (so so much cheaper than formula). We took a Breastfeeding Multiples class this morning and it was so informative. Not only for multiple moms but for someone like me who hasn't even breast fed in her life and needs to basics of how to.

All the other couples in the class were having twins and when they asked if I was going back to work they were shocked when I said yes. I will be honest, I have never wanted to be a stay at home mom. I know that may change when I have the babies but I don't know. I do wish that I could take longer than the 8 weeks given to me for maternity leave after they are born but we're both teachers and simply cannot afford it. Besides they will be taken care of by my mom and MIL when I go back and we live about 5 minutes away if I need to come home.

OK, I digress, back to the class...
it really was great but I have to say DH and I left there a little scared on how we're going to do this but I know we will make it work because there isn't any other way. I guess it just seemed so much more real with 3 dolls piled on my lap:)

Growth scan on Monday, can't wait to get a look at the little ones again.
