Late night feeding

***DISCLAIMER**** What your about to see is done by a professional. This professional is trained and is very experienced in this field. Do NOT attempt what your about to see on your own.

It seems like clock work when it comes to feeding the twins. It's every 3 hours and it's almost always between 3 and 4 oz. This feeding took place at 2:40 am. I was actually getting ready for work and had to be out the door in 10 minutes but I had to grab the camera to show everyone exactly what kind of professional we are dealing with.

I'm not exactly sure how she does it but Kristi can feed both boys at the same time. You might be looking at this and thinking, "Well that can't be that hard." If you think that then I invite you over to our house at 2:40 am, where I challenge you to be able to change both of their diapers, feed them, burp them, and re-swaddle them, and place them back in their cribs without any complaining or forgetting something along the way. It's a lot of work and I will honestly say I have tried it and it doesn't work for me. It's just two much and if one of the boys are fussy then you have to deal with that without forgetting the other kid. I prefer feeding them one at a time but Kristi has is down packed and does a GREAT...GREAT JOB!! Remember this is at 2:40 am

How do I know Kristi is a professional....Here are some key points that I have seen that place her in this category. First, she is feeding two kids at the same time. Besides that look at the way she holds the bottles every so softly delivering the nutrients to the boys. With out hesitation look how she places the burp rags so neatly under the chin just waiting and ready for any spit-ups. You might of missed this the first time looking at the picture but look how their heads are elevated so slightly with the perfect placing of the pillow underneath. You can tell both boys are enjoying this experience by taking a look at their right hand. They both have it up to the bottle like saying, "This stuff is great!" but they are not grasping it because they know that mom has it totally under control. Lastly, You have to really look for this but if you look to the right of Owen's shoulders you can see Kristi's glasses, you first might think this is a mistake because your thinking, "How can she see what she is doing without her glasses?" but your wrong what she is doing is having them in the ready just in case one of the bottles springs a leak then she can quickly grab them and put them on either Easton or Owen as safety glasses. Now that is something only a pro would do!!

I REPEAT...... PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT WHAT YOU JUST SAW ON YOUR OWN. WE ARE DEALING WITH A PROFESSIONAL AND SOMEONE CAN BE SERIOUSLY HURT IF ATTEMPTED ON THEIR OWN!!!
