We show the parents how to use it for both breast and bottle feeding in the class. Kind of hideous, right?<br /><br />I have to laugh at the witty comnents about my class; it isn't designed to scare you (well, that is not my primary intent!). It is meant to empower you to know that you too can juggle babies on your own if you have to, and to show you some tricks to make that happen.<br />And clearly it is working, because you guys are doing great!Kimberly Beplerhttp://www.abcdoulaservice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105902423480944677.post-41139064328987463772010-02-16T08:47:38.379-08:002010-02-16T08:47:38.379-08:00I can't wait to meet the boys!!I can't wait to meet the boys!!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529813807770785147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105902423480944677.post-89793490201029367372010-02-15T09:14:19.402-08:002010-02-15T09:14:19.402-08:00MVK--you look like a natural holding those twin (d...MVK--you look like a natural holding those twin (doll) babies!

I'm very confused. You have twins and you're given a huge lap table?<br /><br />Oh, and you will be FINE.

That seems SO SOON when you put it that way!

I leave it to my mom and DH and when they are not around, the babies break out of their loose blankies in 20 seconds flat.<br /><br />SIGH.<br /><br />I agree: twins are SCARY and REAL and holy shit is it hard, but we MoMs are extremely lucky to see all the things people with just one (SCOFF) baby do. Watching them gaze at each other, touch hands, and nurse side by side? Nothing short of amazing, and worth swaddling hijinks.<br /><br />And you can text me in the middle of the night whenever you want. I plan to see an increase in that in oh... 6 weeks?<br /><br />Happy V-Day!

I honestly want to make it at least two more weeks - and I think that exhaustion plus babies will be okay - I cannot believe that after years of IF and three pregnancy losses, I am going to have babies....WOW. <br /><br />I am going to email you - we do have a teavana!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105902423480944677.post-18312447005420134432010-02-14T07:05:51.868-08:002010-02-14T07:05:51.868-08:00I have to say, I LOVE all the swaddle blankets out...I have to say, I LOVE all the swaddle blankets out there. Way better than swaddling with regular blankets. <br /><br />I've only had a singleton, but from everything I've been told, you will adjust. Not to say it will magically be easy. Not to say you will not be exhausted, or happy just to catch a shower...but you WILL get through. <br /><br />Congrats, and good luck!Jennhttp://www.thislittlepiggyslife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105902423480944677.post-60064997916052559602010-02-14T06:18:39.105-08:002010-02-14T06:18:39.105-08:00um....they are scary. but then you get good at it...um....they are scary. but then you get good at it.
