I’m writing this post sitting in our OB/GYN’s office. Having twins, and having the experiences we’ve had so far in our pregnancy, I feel like we’ve been here so many times. And while I’m not quite the Mayor of Kaiser Livermore on Foursquare yet, it’s only a matter of time before I can oust the […]
5 Things I’ve Learned about Parenting from YouTube
You just brought your beautiful baby home from the hospital. Now what? The fact is no one is really ever prepared for parenthood. It’s a whole new world and your life will change with a newborn. But there is one important resource to help you to get a head start on this whole parenting thing […]
Diaper Poll Results: People Like to Mix it Up
A few weeks ago I posted a poll about diapers. I wanted to get a feel for what folks were doing when it came to diapers, whether people were going solely cloth, or disposable. There were some really good and helpful comments on the post about diapers and the pros and cons of both kinds, […]
Week 18
Just a brief update now that we are in Week 18. We had a few weeks where Sarah was feeling good, and that was great. But they didn’t stay long. Instead of the 2nd trimester bringing relief and a passing of the whole “feeling like crap” days for Sarah, unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Rather, the […]
“How to Change a Diaper” and other ways YouTube Will Save Me!
So – obviously I’m going to need to be a fast-learned with twins on the way – but I have never changed a diaper. Yup, not afraid to admit that. But I’m really not too worried – after all, I have YouTube!
Two BABYBJÖRN BabySitters (and 2 wooden toy attachments) for $50
Today we had our first experience at one of the Twin Valley Mothers of Twins Club sales. We didn’t really know what we wanted – and didn’t want to buy a bunch of stuff that we may get at showers anyway – but we did want to see if we could find any great deals. […]
How to Take Amazing Baby Photos – Get a Good Lens
If you’re looking at this photo and thinking, “Now, this isn’t a real baby…” you’re right. This is Sadie, our 4-year old lab/pit. But after picking up my brand new Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens for our Canon Digital Rebel XTi, Sadie has been a very good subject for me to test out some […]
Pregnant-Belly Art
Sarah sent me this link a few days ago to some amazing pregnant-belly art photographs that were featured on TIME magazine. There are some really amazing ones (like the one above). And then there are some pretty, well, let’s just be nice and say “sketchy” ones (look beneath the jump). I can only imagine what […]
Tattoo your twins! And other ways to tell your twins apart!
I haven’t known a lot of twins in my lifetime – but I feel like whenever I have known some, it’s been VERY hard for me to tell them apart. There are still some twins that I just cannot tell apart. So, it was slightly disconcerting when I found out we were going to be […]
Equal Opportunity Belly Shots
So we have a little deal here at the Walker Cleaveland household. Sarah will let me take her belly shots (and even post some online) as long as I also take some belly shots. The hope is that while Sarah’s belly grows while sustaining two little lives inside…mine will NOT grow. Though – I’ve heard […]
