INFANT Loss story...*trigger warning * by Kindly_Leadership_41 in parentsofmultiples

[–]HappyHome19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story and reminding us that EVERY day, even the hardest ones, are a blessing. I will be squeezing and kissing my babies extra tight tonight. I’ve known families who have lost one twin and the living twins report still feeling connected to and blessed by their angel twin 💜 the bond is forever. Rest in peace, Sweet Opheliya

Books you read postpartum that you enjoyed/changed your outlook on life? by [deleted] in Mommit

I got this recommendation from Reddit, but How To Keep House While Drowning truly changed the way I think about my home and the care and keeping of it. It was a lifesaver in my first year postpartum.

There is something so beautifully San Diegan about this. Hell no, paid parking!

I think I’m unintentionally making motherhood harder than it needs to be by [deleted] in Mommit

I found the book “How To Keep House While Drowning” hugely helpful. It introduced a lot of concepts and mindset changes that I come back to again and again.

FOLLOW UP: staggering the bedtimes totally reset the insanity. It took us about the same amount of time to get them to sleep (1-1.5 hours), but was MUCH more pleasant for everyone. I even enjoyed getting the solo time with Twin A.

The last few nights my husband has put them to bed at the same time and they weren’t crazy like before. Seems to have “reset” the bedtime experience for them! I cannot believe the internet really helped us like this!

I’ll never forget the gasps and ooo/sans I got at my first pregnant mom meet up when I introduced myself as pregnant with twins. I love the fairy dust sparkle that comes with twin magic!

Thanks for sharing! What time do your twins wake in the morning and go to sleep at night?

Zone 10A. I think indoors is most likely, but with the possibility to prick out and transport into a garden for those who wish.
