April General Cuteness

These two pics just crack me up. Derp!

She knows what you're thinking, and it's not amusing.

This was an eventful day for Lily. First, a nap on our nanny, Jessilee:

Then a nap on our friend Megan:

And finally a nap to recover from all that napping!

This cracked me up

March General Cuteness

I know, I'm behind. We've been a bit busy here but still taking pictures of all of the adorbs!

Funny headed Theo

Little Theo was born with sagittal craniosynostosis, or fused back plates of his skull. In the short term this was fine but as he got older his brain was going to grow more than his skull would be able to allow. Because of this and because kids bounce back earlier from surgeries, we elected to have a skull repair surgery done. After two all day meets with the doctors we finally had his surgery today!

(Dave has a cold hence his SARS impression). This is Theo right before the surgery as we wait - patient goose hadn't had anything to eat in over 4 hours and he was still his smiley wriggley self. Our good little boy sucked on a pacifier vigorously when he got hungry and finally wore himself out and slept, right before we handed him over. Calm happy child :)

He's in recovery now - the surgery was so quick they didn't have time to tell us it had begun. Now he just has a few days in the hospital to recover and then he's back home with his family. We can't wait!

Multiples programs

I've been reading blogs by other moms-of-twins, and one lady talked about how she had called various baby product manufacturers to see if they had multiples programs (discounts or samples for families with twins+). I thought, "Hey, why not?" and spent 1/2 hour or so on the phone with the various diapers and formula companies asking if they had a multiples program. Many of them said yes! We'll send you stuff in the mail! And indeed, over the next few days I got coupons and samples of formula in the mail - very kind!

Then there was Enfamil. I talked with a lovely lady there who said she'd have to confirm with our pediatrician first but then yes, they did have some support for families of multiples. Great! I said. Here's their number!

The next day I got a call from our pediatrician telling me that if I wanted to come by and pick up my samples they were at the dr's waiting for me. Great! I said, calculating out piling everyone in the car and thinking "Man, I hope it's not coupons."

Here's what was waiting for me:

I just... wow. And over the next week 2 more tubs arrived in the mail. Unbelievably generous of them - thank you Enfamil!

Update: we just got a package:

Two more cases of formula! So very kind, thank you again Enfamil!
