Glamour Girl! This is Allison at the end of a 4 AM feeding. We are still pumping and giving the boys breast milk 6 times a day, the other 2 times we attempt breastfeeding - there is a bit of a learning curve for this "natural" process!

He PASSED!!! This is Gavin passing his Car seat Trial - the third time is a charm!

Below are the boys in the laying down car seat we left the hospital with, due to their size a standard car seat was not the safest option. They had to go back to the hospital once a week to pass the car seat trail so they could safely ride in standard seat. Once they pass the trial they can also play in a swing or bouncer seat!!!!! We plan to bring those out this weekend!


So when we were dismissed from the hospital, we found out about the new car seats we were being sent home with and unfortunately, that didn't come with any training. We had of course, months earlier attended a car seat fitting and since Mike installed the seats, we passed with flying colors! Only 10 -15% of all car seats are installed correctly and the certified technician was impressed with Mike's installation!
There we were, going home for the first time, in the frigid weather trying to install new car seats! It was a little stressful but we made it through and were understandingly excited when the boys passed their car seat trial!!!!

Allison, you look great even at a 4 am feeding! What a natural you are! Those boys are doing so well--they look like they are thriving. Gosh, they are so lucky to have you and Mike as parents.
