My first two weeks as a mommy!

Well not alot has changed with the girls. They are both just trying to learn the bottle. It's been a roller coaster ride. Some days Madelyn is doing better then some days Kinley is ahead. They are already competing!!! We were told to make an appointment with the pedi on Wednesday or Thursday so we are hoping they will be home before that. We are ready for our family to be together!

In the last two weeks my life has changed so much! I thought I would blog about some things that I use every day and love!!! or at least use now and didn't before.

Boppy pillow!
I love this thing. We started working on nursing this week and it helps so much!

Pampers!!!
We found out this week that we are going to be a Pampers family for sure! They used Huggies on Madelyn and Kinley and everytime they leaked through. I'm not talking about a little either. It was crazy.
Preemie Sleepers!
We go through lots of these! I remember thinking we probably won't need these very much. Ha, was I wrong.

Butt Paste!

Kinley had horrible diaper rash this week . They were thinking it was a yeast infection but decided it was just plain ole diaper rash. We used this stuff and it went away!Shout and Dreft!!!
Like I said after the huggies trial and the fact that we are having some spitting up issues. I am learning that I love these two products and will go through lots of them. Thanks, Suz for getting me started with the biggest Dreft ever and the advice about the Shout.

















I am loving my new role as a mommy and can't wait to really be one at home. It feels so different now when we are at home without them. We don't feel complete without all four of us together.
Don't worry I'm posting pictures of the babies too!!!

Kinley

She lays like this most of the time! She has the longest skinny legs, fingers and toes!

Madelyn
Holding on to her Grandpa's finger. It melts my heart when they grab on to me like that!


We have also been trying to finish their room since they came a little early. As soon as it is done I will post pictures. It's turning out really cute I think.

We are a pampers swaddlers family too. I hate huggies. Not only do they leak, they don't keep their little bottoms dry. You can order Pampers swaddlers in preemie size at a really good price in bulk on diapers.com. They say they fit up to 5 pounds but my girls wore them until 8 pounds. We used LOTS of preemie sleepers too. We had relux problems too. Make sure you save a few of their preemie outfits for baby doll clothes in a few years. I have also found that the dreft spray and wash works really good on the spit up stains too. Hang in there, the girls will be home soon. It is hard for them to catch on to the suck swallow breath concept of taking a bottle. They will get it soon. I am praying for you and your new family.

You're girls are precious! I have made some bows for them I will send to you via Belinda. Now this is my best kept secret...it may be more useful later on. For really tough stains, spray Shout and put Dawn liquid dish soap directly on the stain, scrub it a little, and then soaking it in cold water for several hours. It magically lifts stains out. I have been able to get red kool-aid stains and food stains that have already been washed and dried out using this method. It really works! Best wishes!
