Spring means sunshine, green blooming flowers, and apparently (in Western Pennsylvania at least) consignment shopping. Before having kids, I’d heard of these sales – but barely. An acquaintance of an acquaintance worked at one, and I’d catch a fleeting glimpse of a yard sign advertising a sale at intersection. We had thrown around the idea of visiting one of […]

Julie and Brayden Update: 3 Months
Feedings: Babies are still drinking about 4 ounces of milk, about every three hours during the day and go about 5-7 hours without milk overnight. We do one formula bottle every night and I am pumping around every 6 hours. The midnight bottle still gets about 1 T of rice cereal. In general, not much has […]
Twin Tips: Baby Clothes Inventory Sheet
If there’s one skill I can proudly share my abilities for, it’s process development. In my former professional experience, I loved nothing more than figuring out how to make something more efficient.

The stress doesn’t balance out the stress relief of going out. Tonight was different though. It was totally worth going […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the Coleman Babes!
It’s like they discovered America…
“Oh my gosh – they’re twins!” It’s a phrase I hear more times than I can count when we go out to the store. Other variations include “you have twins” and “there’s two of them!” And I can’t help it – I’m a snark. Deep down I’d like to sarcastically reply “Really??? I had no […]
Wubba-what?
We’ve been struggling with getting the babies to sleep in their cribs – even for short periods – so that eventually, they can sleep there through the night. With mom’s anticipated departure set for the end of March, we need to figure out a way for us to handle our pair overnight – alone. Right […]
