Tandem Nursing Preemie Twins

Today I'm happy to be blogging over at Baby Bellies! If you remember, my youngest two daughters are twins who were born at 33 weeks gestation. After a rocky start, I successfully nursed them till they were almost two years old. So, head on over here, and read my top five tips for nursing preemie twins! (and please do feel free to pass on the link to new twin moms who might need it. Thanks!)

Links! children and prayer, forgiveness among the stars, and more!

The noted humorist, Anne Kennedy, gives an oh-so-true description of attempting to pray with young children. (And yes, the attempt is still more than worth it.)

Why I Am Catholic writes about Robert Downey Jr. asking Hollywood to forgive Mel Gibson.

Jen over at Conversion Diary wrote The Ultimate Burnout Survival Guide. It's really good.

This study on the effect of steroids on preemies (they're given to speed lung development) is a little sad, but I still say it's better to have the babies here and alive, even if the means were sort of hard on them. I hope that medical treatment overcomes this, but I'm still really glad my girls were able to breathe when they were born.

Peace of Christ to you,
