How do you manage feed times with two babies? Angelina: They are on the same schedule. They eat every three hours and I’m getting better at holding them both for breast-feeding at the same time, so that helps. Usually the other kids come in and hold them when they finish. They help with the baths and the changing.
Brad: We try to get them to eat simultaneously for the sake of management, but it gets a little crowded at the bar!
What was your reaction when you found out you were having twins? Angelina: We were in shock and could not stop laughing.
Brad: We bust into hysterics. My sister had made a joke about twins literally the night before, because my grandparents and sis both had twins. Angie was on the table during the sonogram, and we were in hysterics.
We didn’t see this one coming.
Where did the name Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline come from? Brad: The name Vivienne came to us early, as if she named herself. She has always been Viv. And Marcheline is to honour Angie’s late mother. Knox is a family name - my grandfather’s - and Leon is a classic French name.
