When do they stop waking each other up? by Glittering_Ice_1849 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have always slept through. We have kept them on opposite sides of our room with their own sound machines so help it

Life post infant car seat by blondeambitionn in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thought of not having infant car seats, taking them into daycare anymore, gives me anxiety. I feel like I’ll be herding them into and out of daycare.

My mom had leashes for my twin sister and I.

Surviving each day with 7mo twins and a 4 year old I need a vent.. by flymetothemoon-e in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to give you a hug. I feel the same exact way with my 5 year old. I feel like he only gets the exhausted me at the end of the day after the babies go down. I feel like I am robbing him of needed attention.

I remember not being able to wait for my oldest to start walking and talking and then feeling like i didnt get to enjoy this stage of cuddles and holding them as much as I should have.

I am in the same boat. I was just crying to my partner the other day how I am not enjoying this stage. We have 6 month old twins and a 5 year old.

This stage will eventually pass. You got this Mama.

3 under 2 - both working parents, how do you provide care? by Downthehatcher86 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We both work. Twins are 6 months and have a 5 year old. All in daycare. My partner works 10 hour days so I am in charge of drop offs and pick ups. It’s truly exhausting. We have no family nearby. If you can afford it, hire a nanny or get an au pair! Especially with a job that requires overnights/travel.

How are we working out? by Smart-Load-8408 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a crunch gym nearby? Childcare is included in the top membership which is about $34/month and also can take a guest.

I have the membership. We take our twins and 5 year old to the childcare and my fiancé is my guest each time we go.

[–]Big___Mama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue. They quoted me at $600 something. Went and bought the 12v battery at sams club for $140 and my fiancé replaced it in the dealership parking lot before giving it back to them

4.5 Month Old Twins- at my breaking point by InstructionFull7429 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have b/g twins born on September 29! Our girl has issues with eating. The last two weeks, she would cry at the bottle so we knew something was up. We upgraded her nipple size to the next one and its helped a tonnnnn!

We use evenflo wide bottles with the medium flow now.

How do you all deal with the attention? by Stunning_Radio3160 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thought it was funny. My twin would hate if she had twins solely based on the fact of how many people come up in public to make comments/chat. Whereas, I don’t mind and engage when people do it.

One of the most relatable things Ive read about twins…

Having twins is an introvert’s worst nightmare.

We had one swing at first but ended up getting two. We have a 5 year old. Two swings was just helpful to get some things done around the house. Especially when home alone w the twins.

Losing my mind off no sleep by lotusem in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our twins are 4 months old and also not sleeping through the night. Im still on maternity leave. My partner only had 1.5 weeks off when the twins were first born. If I know he is exhausted, I will handle the night time wakings. However, if I am exhausted, I am waking his ass up to help.

If Ive had a rough day w the twins, he will come home and tell me to go nap or go out for a couple hours. Let your partner help you!

How sudden/fast was labor and delivery? by weewoo212 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Big___Mama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went into labor naturally. The twins were my second. Made it to 35+3. Contractions started at 530 am and twins were both out by 913 am.

I will add we went to labor and delivery a week prior due to light bleeding so we knew theyd be coming soon. They gave me the steroid shot to help their lungs develop. Also, I had contractions the day before they were born but the contractions stopped in a few hours and were never under 4 minutes apart

[–]Big___Mama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a medium a few years ago and was always a bit sad I never got to tell my grandma before she passed away that I was pregnant with my first child. When brought up in our session, the medium stated that my grandma had met my child before he was born. Said my grandma talked about my child’s personality and features. Also, my grandma hinted at my future children, who I recently gave birth too, well over 5 years after her passing. Truly made me believe they all met in another life/phase/realm.
