How awesome is my mom?





I found this product online today called a summers.lifeguard. Wow what a great concept! I knew right away it was something we could really REALLY use with Marissa! I immediately called the company to find out more info. I really love what they have done. Unfortunately, I don't have an extra 375$ right now (which is about how much 3would cost without shipping) and 3 is really the minimum number that we would need. I was pretty bummed. I called my mom and she said she'd bring her sewing machine over and we would see what we could come up with. I had a few yards of some flannel Id bought to make night gowns for the girls and my mom picked up a few yards of velcro. I am so so so thrilled with what my mom was able to do! I still really want to order a summers.lifeguard when I can afford it as I like to support small businesses and their inspiration is such a blessing to us.

How cool! She wears it under her clothes, right (sorry, but I never really asked you about it!) to keep her lines in place? I love having handy people around :)

This is fantastic! My foster son (a 23 weeker) was complete TPN for the first 6 months of his placement, this would have given me much better rest!!!! Good to know, perhaps for future reference...
