A nurse came in to ask us some questions about taking care of our babies. When they asked me if I had found some good techniques for soothing them when they cry, I shared my big secret, which works like a charm every time. I'll share it here, too, but no one better steal this one from me: give them to Dan!!

Still at the Hospital
We were hoping to go home today, but the little stinkers, who already have more nicknames than I had maternity clothes, need to get better at eating and gain back some lost weight before the doctors will release them. Even though Brett is the smaller one, Magdalena is stubbornly competing for the newborn spit-up Olympics.

Lol! So glad that Dan is such a champ. No surprise. But I'm sorry the weight gaining is tough. Calvin was spitting up a TON in the hospital and for the first few weeks and the doctors told me it was normal but it didn't seem right (he was gaining weight fine but I'm telling you there was a LOT of milk coming back up). Anyway, eventually I stopped eating dairy and things (I think) improved. I eliminated it for a few weeks and am slowly adding it back (mostly because I need and want it!). Have they suggested that ? Just a thought... Milk protein is a very common allergy.
