My Saving Grace

This baby Daddy is one in a million! He sends me off to bed right after Eva's last feeding at night and he and she spend some quality time together while I get a good three hour block of un-interrupted sleep! He is my one true saving grace in having these babies...He is the BEST!
Thanks Sweetie!

Baby 101

It has been 12 days since the arrival of our new baby, Eva and her big sister Amerie has had lots of concerns and questions about her baby. The first thing that has been a huge concern for Amerie is Eva's belly button or as Ames calls it her "Burn Pooh Pooh". She wouldn't come close to Eva when it was time to change her diaper because she was so worried about her "burn pooh pooh" hurting. She of course asked all about it and so always has to reference "cord" and "Dad cut it" So much for a little curious girl to comprehend!

But by the looks of Amerie's face, she is more than eager to help in the feedings of little Eva! She has been my little nursing sidekick: she has her own pillow, grabs one of her babies and sits next to me with shirt lifted and all and we nurse together! This nursing thing of course is so new to me since I struggled so much with the other two girls that I eventually stopped. But Eva has been so receptive and keeping me focused! Now if I can get a feeling for nursing out of the home, we'd be set. But that will soon come I guess with practice.
We are enjoying our little new baby and watching the girls hold and ask so many great questions about their new sister.
