Night 2: Slightly easier than the first night!

Whew, these are two high-maintenance tots! But, we're learning their needs & likes, and getting better at caring for them.

I'm proud of Jeff for being the diaper change predictor, I tend to think they need burping or feeding, but Jeff has a knack. I'm the bottle meister, I'm kicking butt at cleaning, sterilizing, and making them, around the clock. It's tough because Cassandra has this strange nipple thing with 2 lines on the sides, and she won't try anything else, so there goes all the bottles I brought down with me, and the foster mom only gave me TWO bottles for the 3.5 days! Carter's foster mom gave us 5 bottles, and I did try my new bottles with him, but they are too hard for him to suck from, I guess I'd have to make the opening larger, and It's easier to just use his old ones.

We sent an angry e-mail to the dropshots people for not letting us upload the videos - and this is even after we subscribed to the deluxe version. Ah well.

I'm a bit scattered and sleep deprived, but when those tots smile at us (Cassandra is 9 days older, and therefore more smiley, and has better motor skills, etc.) it's all worth it! Here are a few more pictures:
