I’m very excited to announce we have hired a Nanny to help with the boys! Starting the week of February 18th Rachel will start helping out Brenda 2 days a week. This will give Brenda a little bit of a break and allow her to have just a little more freedom to get things done […]

Thank You Lactation Staff of Central DuPage Hospital

Late last week after much thought and consideration, Brenda decided to stop breast feeding. It seems like something that is so natural and easy until you have to do it yourself.  And doing it for two boys instead of one is no easier and pretty exhausting to say the least. Brenda was using a breast pump […]

Time is going by fast with these boys already and I can’t express in words how much joy they bring me from just holding them and looking into their eyes. I just can’t get enough of them. Even when I get home at 9pm I can’t wait to hold them and feed them, even if […]

Just waiting for the Pediatrician from Thomas Tomchak on Vimeo. One thing I love about this new camera I have is that it’s very small and just fits in my coat pocket. Because of that, I’m more likely to take it with me to more places. So while waiting for the doctor to come into […]

Today the boys had their 1 month visit and all went very well. They checked out great, and both gained plenty of weight in their first 4 weeks here. I could feel a big difference just carrying them from the car!  Andrew now weighs 8lbs 9 oz, and Max weighs 7 lbs 11 oz. The […]

1 Month Old Tomorrow!

It’s been 4 weeks since the boys were born. In a way it seems like we’ve known them forever, and it’s actually hard to remember life without them. Except for a minor bout with Oral Thrush, they’ve done very well. The last time I took Max in they weighed him, and he’s up to 7.4 […]
