in case you are wondering, yes, I do feel the sweet and sour pang of regret

Sweet and sour... I can see that. They're such handsome little guys, I hope the sweet outweighs the sour.

[Charmaine]

So cute...look at them! And you even figured out a way to feed them at the same time! I bet that's handy.

[Steph]

Oh, don't you just love their tiny little legs poking out through their diapers! I have some shots of my son like this, with his feet all out and it still melts my heart. It's amazing how they grow, and how we grow inside with their every milestone.

[Erin (Erin-erin-bo-berin)]

Don't feel bad, please. You love your boys and they are still with you! They won't ever remember those moments anyway. Okay, guess it's time to hide the evidence...

[Joy]

But look at them now, healthy, wealthy (in so many ways), and wise!

You are such a strong woman to have survived a hard situation like this. A memory that will always remind you how strong you had become.

Happy New Year to you and family!

You are doing a great great important job.

[Sarah F. O.]

Your little guys look very well taken care of to me! I know from experience that propping bottles up just right is a careful, technical job. It's one of moms' little secrets.

Another moms' secret confession: at some point we've all bought cheap shoes for our kids' sweet tender feet.

Why would you feel bad? They look so cute and comfy in this picture!
You had twins, double trouble, double work!! You've done an excellent job as a momster !

[Pink Rocket]

i think every mom props up the bottles! i did! i even let him sleep on his stomach! gasp! and like Charmaine said, it's the only way you can feed both of them! love the picture! At first I thought it was a reflection of just one of them!

[Cee]

Awww, look at them, they were just adorable! They are such cuties now too!

[christina]

Why would you possibly feel bad? I can hardly imagine doing anything else with TWO babies. Everyone survived. They are such beautiful boys. So happy and vibrant and mischievious. Momsterness paid off. You should post this for the SPT--it fits the theme perfectly.

It's not a mirror...there really are two of them. You are amazing...

[mama_tulip]

If you'd fed one while the other one screamed for food...then yes, maybe, you could feel a titch badly. If you'd sat on the couch eating bon-bons while both of them screamed for food then yes. Absolutely. Feel badly. But please. Don't feel badly for propping a bottle. Or two.

[Marilyn]

If I'd been you, I'd have felt completely overwhelmed...and not just by awe...by the responsibility and stress! Clearly Momsterhood becomes you...because they glow with life.

[Vanessa_AR]

You have never neglected your sweet baby boys, Irene! This was probably the only way you could ever go to the bathroom. I applaud you for your creativity!

[jess]

Irene, we all have regrets - it's part of being a mom. But, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this picture. Two beautiful boys and one excellent MOMster.

Love your redesign too!

[Heather P.]

OMG I love all your pictures! So adorable. Your boys are little baby GAP models! They look TOTALLY content in this picture. As they do in all the pictures, your a great mom Irene, keep up the awesome job your doing!

[tracie]

we are all doing the best that we can do. At the end of nearly everyday there is something that I feel dreadful about. I can't even begin to imagine how you did it but you did. Make sure you congratulate yourself more.

[Marcia]

they look so happy - sleeping, well fed, what do you feel bad about?

[Leslie]

Hi Irene!
I thought it was a reflection as well! :)

I cannot IMAGINE having two at once. . . my goodness you are admired!!! :)

Thanks so much for visiting my site! And I have to say that I really enjoy your writing style! :)
