It appears that at least one of our little charges has a stomach bug. I called the nurses' hotline last night and they sent me in to the hospital because they were pooing more than 'normal'. I guess because they are less than 90 days old they are at a much higher risk for dehydration . They are both fine but the Dr's want the girls to be fed at least on thier 3 hours schedule during the day and more often if they want it...thankfully they didn't think I should wake them to feed if they are sleeping well at night because they've just begun sleeping longer periods at night. They should be fine though, they seem to be doing a bit better today (although I am a lot more tired because of the hospital run! Thankfully Chris stayed at home in bed so I got to sleep a bit more when I got home because he got up!) Mom is now not feeling well, and a few days ago I was the one feeling a bit ill so I think they might be sick from me...although it seems to be hitting them harder...I suppose thier size might factor in there...but that doesn't explain poor mom who doesn't ever seem to get the flu!
