Do you want to laugh...

This is how I have been feeding the boys since they wake up each other every two hrs. I was home a lot by myself for almost 8 weeks I did it this way. Then the boys got to big and the one I was holding in my arms could crush the bottom one.
I was calling it the human bunk bed. I put new meaning to the term octo- mom..I felt like an octopus..LOL
ps...Please dont mind the way I look I was a mess back then.
Just try not to laugh to hard....hey you gotta do what you gotta do..LOL..

I love this picture!!! And you do not look a mess. Your hair is kind of sexy the way it brushes across your forehead... oh baby! (okay I am silly)

I fed both girls once by having them on the couch in boppys (is the plural boppies or boppys??) while I sit on the ottoman. It totally kills my back though. We should take a picture of it.

I have done that too. But sometimes they wont take it unless they actually feel me. John eats and he has to hold me finger, he goes to sleep that way too.
Billy is a little bit more laid back. But because John is so demanding I always felt like I was neglecting him. So I came up with this position only if they were both screaming at the same time.
I was a mess for weeks hair every where, and I am pretty sure there is a pony in that disaster..LOL..
I lived in pj's too. I had no where to go, but mostly I was so exhausted I dont think it was safe for me to drive..LOL...

Thanks Kay...i thought would bring a laugh or two.

Barbara, I love the picture. I think you look wonderful. We all live with messy hair and in our pjs the first few weeks home. If you don't have to get up and get dolled up - why bother? The first few weeks are pee and spit up city!

When I bottle fed I used to do the same thing!! When I breast fed I would use my twin boppy. Just wait till you try and bathe two at once and both are standing trying to climb out of the tub....LOL Twin moms need 6 arms!!
