Thankfully, my girls were never picky with bottles but a lot of my friends kids were super picky and thus they went through 500 kinds before finding one their child would take. :)<br /><br />Is it August yet??

Have been reading your blog for a few months, and I love your humor and transparency. Thought about this when you mentioned making laundry soap--the sun will be your BFF. For those hard-to-remove baby stains, wash clothes in cold water and let the sun dry/bleach them. I cloth diaper and the sun gets out all those fun stains. :). You may already be on this tip, but just wanted to pass it along. Praying for y'all and this sweet baby, and the whole situation in general!

So you might find this amusing… I thought I was going to have a lot of downtime during maternity leave, so before the twins came, Brian made sure to DVR about a million movies for me to watch. I think I made it through one of them during those 12 weeks, and that was not in one sitting! Ha! Point being, it's ok if some things on your to do list don't get done, because you might not need them to be done after all :) The Joinershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17715611064992379623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-59441906423040158752014-07-29T20:52:34.328-04:002014-07-29T20:52:34.328-04:00Haha!

I think I thought we'd do that while I was in early labour. It turned out we didn't need one but I would recommend that you have one ready :)<br /><br />Also, painting my toenails was totally on my list of Things To Do Before The Baby Came both times.<br /><br />And this post gave me excited butterflies in my stomach and I raced upstairs, yelling to Dave, "Matt and Erika are getting ready!!!!" And then we had a little celebration. So you have crazy blog friends in Canada excitedly waiting with you.<br /><br />Also, what is the story about that pig?!?!?
