We are now one week into being a family of 5 (4 humans and a dog).
What a crazy weeks it's been.
Thankful for my mom who has been able to stay with the newest itty bitty so I can work part time.
We are so in love with these girls and thankful that God has called us to parent them, no matter how temporary it may be.
Since accepting our second placement we have had several of you ask how you can help us, so here are some ideas!
The number one thing we covet is your prayers. Prayers for functioning on little sleep; prayers that we parent these little well; prayers for biological families and their ability to do the court required things to get their babies back if that is God's plan. Just pray for us.
A week into being parents of two we are beginning to see more tangible things that we could always use more of, the biggest of those being diapers. Boy to babies go through a lot of diapers each day!! While the girls are at home we are using hybrid cloth/flushable diapers called gdiapers. The flushable inserts are awesome because they just go down the toilet and we don't have to deal with the stinky diapers in the house! A great way to help would be to get these inserts for us, or get gift cards from gdiapers.com so that we can order what we need. Currently the itty bitty is in newborn G's but will soon be moving up to the small size; the bigger little is in mediums.

We are working on getting both girls to use the same bottles, the Munchkin Latch system. They are both drinking very well from them! The itty bitty is using the 4oz bottles with the stage 1 nipple, the bigger one takes the 8oz bottle with the stage 3 nipple. Bottles and accessories are always a welcome gift!
Amazon. Amazon is probably tired of sending us so many packages. Thank you Prime shipping! The pile of boxes is so big we weren't able to get them all in the recycling bin this week!
God is good and we are so happy that we can provide for these sweet girls.
Jack is soaking up the baby love, too!
