It was going to be easy. Okay, there were two new babies to contend with but we had live-in help for the first eight weeks so really, how hard was it going to be to do an itty bitty blog every day? A frank and humorous account of life as a forty something year old with newborn twins?
The babies are almost four weeks old and this is my first post - that's how easy and already as I type I'm racing against time - I'm sure I can hear one of them crying - or is it both of them? It's feeding time...didn't we just feed them? It's all so confusing except that it's all so simple. Two babies means 6 feeds each a day with each feed taking maybe 40 minutes so that’s 240 minutes per baby which is 4 hours solid feeding so multiply that by 2 cos they don't always eat at the same time so lets round that off at say, 7 hours constant feeding and oh well then you need to allow time for burping after each feed -the DAMN BURPING - why hasn’t someone invented the burpometer or the iburp - a beautiful ergo dynamic device for hands free burping thus giving the long-suffering burp giver (or givers in this case) time to have several large G and T’s on the deck?
The iburp. I'm going to patent that name tonight right after the next feed and if not after that one then definitely the one after and if not that one-
