Rough nite last nite, but we are all taking turns getting some naps in today, in between eating and football games. It may just be my imagination, but I swear the spitting-up has increased in frequency. I just feel so bad for the girl. We're trying some new things, which will hopefully decrease the frequency. Cross your fingers...
Meanwhile, yesterday we participated in the Breastfeeding Challenge in Austin, which was held at the site of the downtown farmer's market. The goal is to encourage breastfeeding (the US recommendation is for a minimum of 1 year, while the World Health Organization recommends 2 years) and increase acceptance of public breastfeeding, which is perfectly legal. Austin was the
highest rated US city (it's a Canadian organization that puts it on) - 133 babies! We met up with 3 other families from our birthing classes. So nice to be able to see some familiar faces, going through the same things - I think we all had that tired look on our face. We're looking forward to meeting up for a real 'reunion' in the near future, with bottles (baby and beer?) in hand to celebrate our growth from 10 to 15! Here's a photo of the dads and babies post-challenge.
While our due dates ranged almost the entire month of September, the kids were all born within a week of each other. From left to right here, they were born on the 13th, 12th, 14th, and 10th (thanks to
Jessica for compiling that!). And here's a photo of Zoe enjoying her meal - she was very sleepy yesterday, which was probably one of the reasons that we had such an active night...
