Running Down a Dream...

Anyone that reads this ever use one of these Bumbo seats? We are thinking about getting 2 of these for the girls. This lady we talked to swore by it when she had an infant. They would be perfect to feed two at the same time. Please add a comment and tell me your experience with these seats. They kid of look like medieval torture seats, but if it works...torture away!




I can not believe that it is a week before Christmas and I am debating turning on the AC in the house. The digital thermostat says it is 79 degrees inside my house today. I love my girls but I wish we had "normal" kids on days like this. It is so nice outside this weekend it would have been great to get out and take a walk or go to the mall and get some shopping done. But we are kind of prisoners in our own home with these two and their preemie status. We were told a short walk outside would be ok, but there is the ringing threat from the NICU Dr's about RSV and other sickness' our girls could get from exposure. So we sit and care for our girls on "house arrest." I can't wait until the CDC claims the flu season is over in late April or May. Then we can get the girls out in crowded places and not have to fear every time someone sneezes or coughs.

Dad can't wait to strap on his trusty New balances and take a good long run with his girls in one of these bad boys! The first one is a typical jogger. The second one is a freaking beast! I could run over SUV's with that thing. It is $399. The baby companies have a racket going...Seriously has anyone called the Fed's on this?

Mom N' Dad are in a bit of a celebratory mood right now...A&B had their first poops in over 3 days. One was green, the other brown. Weird?

Well, a couple of my foster kids have those seats and they are mainly used for children who are severly delayed; children who should be sitting up, but aren't. Our developmental specialists use these a lot in therapy.
One little girl really needed it, but she ended up way too dependent on it. The foster parents actually had a hard time getting her to learn to sit without it. She was so used to it that she refused to sit alone.
So that is my take on it.
