As the triplets turned 5 months old the other day and we were discussing how far we have come, it made me think about how challenging things were when we first brought the kids home. It wasn't that long ago that we were getting up every 3 hours to feed the babies and now we are down to four times in a day. We still have the very challenging 6:30 pm to 8 pm hours every day but it helps to think that it could be much worse. Jon and I are even starting to get brave enough to try to handle that 'witching hour' on our own. Here is a pictoral of one such attempt...
Pay no attention to the chaos Austin was allowed to make in the background and the upside down baby, everyone was happy for at least a few minutes! The picture should come with a warning - this works until it is time for the babies to burp! The only other attempt at feeding two at once worked better, mainly because one of the babies fell asleep. Of course, when all else fails - just distract them:
Austin thought this was pretty cool. Poor Gabe (in the middle) wasn't so sure of it.
