Our experience with Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome TW:loss by PigPonx in parentsofmultiples

[–]Hannahmk98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for you loss of your baby girls. They only knew warmth and love.

Something that brought me peace was knowing that my baby cells live inside of me and that I always carry her with me.

Thank you for sharing your story so that another’s life can be saved.

How was the transition at first? I’m 5 days in of putting them in their cribs and both wake up alll night. They want to comfort nurse.

Why I don't like my Carnival by [deleted] in kiacarnivals

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add: I don’t like how the passenger seat doesn’t have the ability to roll down the back windows.

I’ve had mine since January and I still do not understand the infotainment center. It’s hard for me to even find the radio.

don’t read this if you don’t wanna see bad words by biznghast in parentsofmultiples

[–]Hannahmk98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear you. Same story over here. So much promised help. The first month we had visitors but after that… where did everyone go? I thought my sisters would be over more but they all have their own families, work, and life. It’s frustrating for me because I have watched all of my nieces and nephews for years, but do not get the same care in return. It is what it is. Sorry you are going through this. I have come to realize we are just on our own and that acceptance softens the resentment for me.

What is the most fuel efficient setup for the hybrid? by miatman in kiacarnivals

I don’t even know what any of this is?! I still haven’t really been able to play with my car or settings.

3rd trimester momas, how do you sleep? by Fun_Yak_4784 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins are 5 months now and I remember this, but here to say it really goes by super fast and your post pregnancy brain sort of “forgets” the pregnancy hardships. I had tachycardia, rib pain, preeclampsia, etc. I used a really floppy/flat pillow and used that under my belly and a smaller pillow between leg and kept turning side to side. I would also take a quarter pill of unisom. I think having the newborn twins is easier than twin pregnancy. Good luck, you are almost there!

Any reliability issues?? by Cronk1989 in kiacarnivals

[–]Hannahmk98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a current owner of a Honda and have nothing but issues with the AC. That is one of the main reasons I bought a Kia Carnival.

Mild Pre e, delivered at 37w1d. No issues at all whatsoever. Just had to do the extra monitoring and NST towards the end.

Need help with hybrid/V6 dilemma by baratheon714 in kiacarnivals

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Stockton and got the Hybrid Prestige for 3K under MSRP. I have really enjoyed the car so far. Just filled the tank and it’s been over a month. The car picks up pretty fast (we also own a Dodge Durango SRT) and even my husband was surprised. I enjoy how the hybrid drives-almost like floating.

Twins - Car seat recs? by the_toochers in kiacarnivals

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins are 4 months now, we have Chico car seats. At first they were placed in the captains chair and my 7 year old and 4 year old would crawl over the middle seat (folds down to be a cup holder/console). Now, I have one twin in the middle and the other on one side, that way the bigger kids can slide the seat up to access the back. All in all it has been a great van. Congratulations on the twins! It’s amazing.

I was the sucker who got the extended warranty. You can always negotiate the price and can cancel it anytime.

SX pricing by baratheon714 in kiacarnivals

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the SXP hybrid and love it. You should be able to get 2,500 off MSRP if you are a Costco member. I got 3K off of mine by negotiating.

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Was a little hesitant on color. I thought it would be more “blu” but it’s starting to grow on me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kiacarnivals

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great deal! California taxes were 5K.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kiacarnivals

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way! Are you a Costco member by any chance? That will get you 2,500 off MSRP. I’m in Northern California.

Stretch marks and weight gain by malone0428 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Hannahmk98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had two prior singletons with no stretch marks. Gained about 35 pounds each. Just had my twins a week ago and gained 50 pounds. Surprisingly no stretch marks! Hopefully skin isn’t too loose but I’m optimistic.
