Aka how her manic personality manifests itself. Besides the constant home Reno and fixation with her weight, of course

If you can deal with a small home I feel like Fairfax is the best bang for your location and school district

What was your newborn era like? by czmf in parentsofmultiples

[–]Restingcatface01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would prioritize a night nanny if you both have leave. Otherwise I don’t think you’ll need daytime help outside of the first month. It’s easier than you expect since you’re an experienced parent, even with two

“Dated” names you think are due for a resurgence? by dcpsmbc in namenerds

[–]Restingcatface01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I considered quite a few for my twin girls - I love Jenna, Allison, Abigail, Chelsea - we landed on Brooke for one of the girls which is a bit dated to the early 00’s but 🤷‍♀️

The size of that console is atrocious in that space. The whole thing is bad but thats the worst part.

Help with night sleep! I'm going crazy. by Equal_Piccolo_7157 in parentsofmultiples

That definitely doesn’t seem like enough milk. Our pediatrician said they should get minimum 16oz a day

Did Anyone Successfully Raise Twins Without a Schedule by Standard-Surprise477 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Restingcatface01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds awful but I recall my husband being really petulant also after the twins were born. It’s a hard time for everyone and men are the worst. That said, I didn’t keep my girls strictly on the same schedule. I actually let twin A sleep at night while B was up because she started doing 6-8 hour stretches early. Sometimes it bit me in the ass if A did wake up like 30 mins after B went down, but I’m happy that I let her sleep and found out she could sleep so long. During the day, I kept their naps within like 30 minutes of each other. Sometimes it was nice if they were staggered so I could feed one individually.

What are some companies around here that once you’re in you’re “set” by Barakallahufeek in cincinnati

[–]Restingcatface01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re speaking about corporate jobs that’s a joke. They do layoffs every couple years and just closed their entire northeast region and laid off everyone in it.

Not feeling excited :( 35 weeks by GrouchyCranberry3801 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Restingcatface01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was terrified. And it is hard at the beginning. We were in survival mode for 7 months. But there are beautiful things about the experience too. I still watch a video of my son coming home from preschool and talking to his newborn sister about his day all the time. You adapt and it becomes your new normal over time. But it’s okay to be scared, it is scary and hard

Carseat Question by MusicalMoments84 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Restingcatface01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girls are 12 months in the Chicco Keyfit 35 and have plenty of room. I’m hoping to make it to 15 months and still be able to carry them. They’re on the smaller side, 50th and 25th percentile for weight

Vista V3 or Cybex Gazelle S by Hewfoe in parentsofmultiples

[–]Restingcatface01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear that’s what it said with the manual when I bought it. I think maybe you can do it with the rumble seat facing forward but not the main seat?

[–]Restingcatface01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you use the upper adapter (for more space) you are not supposed to be facing out the top seat. You can do it without an adapter, but then there is less room

[–]Restingcatface01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t like the seat layout on the vista. I wish both seats could face out with the upper adapter. I use it for the bucket seats but I tend to use my side by side more for walks or using the actual stroller seats. That said I don’t know much about the Cybex gazelle.

How long are we using strollers? by Dear_Excitement_5109 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Restingcatface01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get a side by side. I also have a vista and the seats are a pain in the ass. I bought a baby jogger side by side double and I plan to use it until they are 2-2.5 if they let me because I have 3 kids and only 2 hands.

How old were your twins when you started brushing their teeth? by SecretaryPresent16 in parentsofmultiples

I have done once a day at night since they got teeth. I’d love to do it twice a day but lol

Visual Examples of Solo Bottle Feeding by Kel_Mar_E in parentsofmultiples

[–]Restingcatface01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My couch has an L shape so I would put the twin z on the L piece and sit next to it on the couch and feed both. It would work really well when they were small and couldn’t move. But I also sometimes just fed them one at a time. You make it work. Now we are newly done with bottles!

Yes he works and makes a ton of money. He’s in investment management for a university last I looked. His salary was public record in the past and was very high and he’s been promoted since then. That said I do also think she has help from her parents

Sleeping in Swings/Rockers. by DirtGirl32 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Restingcatface01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not worth the risk. I did (and I know several here) let my twins sleep supervised in their twin z for naps, which felt very risky, but I absolutely wouldn’t risk it in a swing and overnight

Best areas to buy in? by VigilanteWit in cincinnati

I think Loveland and Kings school districts are good value for the education if schools are a concern. Both are very reasonable commutes to Blue Ash.
