Life with multiples...

Andrew, Jake and Kaman

'We are new parents of twin boys. Little brothers for our little girl Bailee who will be two in a couple of weeks. My husband (Andrew) and I were in disagreement as to how many children we wanted - Andrew wanted two and I wanted three. He told me that the only way I would get three was if I had twins... and clever me! We don't have any history of twins in our family, but welcomed two boys - Jake and Kaman into the world on 18 Aug 2006.

My husbands comments when we found out we were having twins at our twelve week ultrasound:
'This saves us one hell of an argument!' and second thought.....'We are going to need a new car' - Marcelle

Tip of the Moment...

When making baby food, make large quantities and freeze in ice block trays then just pop out 2 or 3 for each baby.
When they start eating larger quantities try using small plastic containers, also handy for snacks on trips out as they grow.
For best results mix potato with pumpkin, mixed frozen vegetables - like peas and corn. Cauliflower will give a grainy texture.
