In Praise of Dr. Brown

I usually don't give product endorsements, but I have to say Dr. Brown's bottles are amazing!!!! When the boys came home we used the same bottle brand that we used with Phoebe. I will not mention which as they are perfectly fine bottles, except for projectile vomiters and fast eaters like our boys. They took in too much air with their feed and they were fussy and especially Liam would throw up through his mouth and nose!!! Ewwwww....

One of the twin mamas at my office told me to try Dr. Brown's bottles and that they were a godsend to her with one of her twins that was a big spitup'er. I went out that same day and bought a starter pack and they've been awesome! That was the first night Liam ever slept through the night. He didn't keep it up the next night, but the boys have been so much more comfortable and spitup has been greatly reduced around here. I must say I will be recommending these bottles to all pregnant friends.

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
