the mystery...

i have to guess that for many months now most of you have wondered how in the world i can take care of two babies, the same age, at the same time...by myself...(frank does this pretty well to, but in his own way!)
every night both the boys get fed their bottles at the same time so that i can get them both to bed at the same time (and because they both seem to demand them that way!!) fortunately tuscan is such a good boy because this could be really tough if i had to keep an eye on him too...but he is generally watching his evening dose of sesame street and curious george by this time or if we are in the nursery he will sit down and read a book or dance to the babies bedtime music...anyway...
feeding a baby their bottle (or nursing, which is even better) is one of the most amazing and intimate ways to bond with your little one. you are providing them with something that they so desperately need and the way they gaze into your eyes as they are sucking away just shows you how much they appreciate you. so i try my best to hold both of them during their nighttime feeding so that they both get the same level of love and connection. obviously holding them both in my arms (along with two bottles) is totally impossible so i sit indian style and lay one baby in my legs and hold the other one in my arms. halfway through, after they burp, i switch them around - have to keep it fair, dont want the fighting to start to early!!



so i finally got a picture of it and i thought i would share!




bet ya never knew the real reasons behind why we were born with so many limbs!! God created all things for a purpose and never in my wildest dreams would i have imagined this would be my purpose for 2 arms and 2 legs!! i truly am more and more blessed everyday!
