Unsolicited Parenting Advice and a Request for Prayer

If only I had remembered how much Nathaniel hated the bottle at first, I would have followed my own advice. If you plan on returning to work or ever want to spend more than 6 hours away from your baby in their first year, HAVE DADDY GIVE BABY A BOTTLE ONCE A DAY for the first two months. Abigail is on a hunger strike and even though I had been able to coax her into taking a few ounces from a bottle during our practice sessions, Ben did not have much luck this weekend.

Here's the request for prayer--my dad (bless his soul!) is watching the two kids on a regular basis when Ben's and my work schedules overlap, starting tomorrow. 9am-3pm, Mountain Standard Time. If you are reading this, please send up a prayer for all of them. And me. Amen.
