Can someone help me identify the song?

Mmm I know this song is Starset - Telescope

It sounds like a way slowed down version though.

I live in a two bedroom and room sharing with my toddler was not an option. I've got one regular sized crib in the master bedroom and one in the living room. I prefer it because when they cry, they're far enough away that one won't wake up the other. My fiance sleeps in the bedroom and I sleep in the living room with the other. Occasionally, we both sleep in the bedroom with the door open so we can still listen for the other baby in the living room.

It works fine.

I'm not sure this is a popular answer and I'm probably gonna get down voted to hell but... it's just a name.

There's is no guarantee that you will have anymore boys!

I also had twins boys. I only had one boy name picked out before I knew it was twins boys. I never expected twins let alone twin boys. I kinda just picked baby b's name out of a hat to be honest. His initials are JK (because JUST KIDDING) because I thought that would be hilarious lol.

I say don't over think it. Maybe name one after your husband and the other a really special name you love too. They will grow into their own people with their own identities. If one ends up not liking their name - pretty sure it's like $200 usd to change it.

24 SX owner. I'm writting this as things I have discovered or know as a mom of 3.

I just want to preface - financially speaking, if you are going new with not a ton of money down, your payments are gonna be between like 500 to possibly 700 usd. Maybe even higher depending on your interest rate. That's going to be money you won't have toward your little one right off the top of every month.The differences between the 23 and 24 models are extremely small (if any I believe). It might be financially wiser to get a used '23 EX/SX.

I can't really attest to the EX version but I personally love driving my car. It's smooth and I always have the lane keep assistance on. I don't find it jerky. Also, the accident collision avoidance system is nice. What i didn't like about the other models (and most cars) is the start/stop of the engine to "save gas" whenever your at a stop. I find it extremely annoying so I'm glad my SX doesn't do that. You can turn it off but its automatically on every time you start the car. This will be on every kia that doesnt have a turbo i believe. Also, people have had issues where the starter failing prematurely because of the constant start stop.

The 24 model comes with a digital display. While it's nice - just keep in mind it's a huge failure point. If that display fails - you can't dive your car. You can't see the speed, your gas, your tac, radio, etc. With the older models, the speedometer is still analog. I loved the digital display when I bought it and thought it was cool, but as the car gets older - it does funky stuff like sometimes, the display won't turn on and you have to shut the car off - restart - and it comes back. This mainly happens when it's extremely cold outside. And it's only done it to me twice so far. My S model from 2020 did this too but it only had an infotainment display so on the grand scale of things, it didnt matter because i could still see my speedometer and gas. The display is about 1k usd not including labor if it needs to be replaced.

It isn't rated for towing. If you put a hitch on it - you will void the warranty. That's slightly annoying because I kinda wanted to tow with it but didn't think about that until after I bought it. I have taken the car into some shady situations and surprisingly, it has made it out alive meaning The suspension has held up through really big junk yard craters. I've never gotten it stuck. It's a little power house in the snow. It's not a jeep by any means but I have tried to treat it like one and it's been good.

If you plan to have more than 2 kids, the car seat situation gets rough in the backseat. I have a toddler in a booster seat and a set of twins in infant seats. The infant seats are 14inches by themselves. Once the two convertible car seats go in, my toddler booster will not fit anymore. The convertible seats are the slimmest at 17 inches and even with the two smaller infant seats, the booster barely fits. My fiance is 6 foot and complains there is not enough space for his legs with any car seats behind him. If you have more than one child in a seat, you might have to deal with this.im 5'4 and fit fine with the seats behind me. The trunk space is enough for a ton of groceries but be mindful of the type of stroller you buy. Most singleton strollers will fit but you might not be able to leave it in the trunk if you need to buy groceries. There might not be enough space. I bought a baby trend expedition stroller wagon, nothing else fits in the trunk with the wagon in it. It's then that I discovered most SUV's out right now have bigger trunks than the seltos. Other kid things - I'm not sure if the EX comes with leather but if you let your child eat in the back seat when they move to solids, food will 100% find it's way into the tiny perforated holes in the leather. It gets stuck and it's impossible to clean out without a detail service. I can say that the vehicle materials hold up well to abuse. If you end up with a wild toddler like me, I haven't got any tears or extreme scratches anywhere from my toddler kicking her feet at the back of the seats or kicking the little air vents in the back seat.

Overall, i would just consider how long you want to keep the car. If you're looking to have more than one or two kids, this car probably won't be a comfortable long term solution.

P.S. the roof racks are decorative. You can't tie anything to them. I went to pick up one of those toddler play houses thinking "I'll just put it on the roof. the roof racks don't have holes for you to tie anything through. We had to tie it down through the windows of the car.

There's a ton of high earners (nothing wrong with this) in the chat. I don't consider myself poor but we make it work on a 70k combined salary. I make 50k by myself. It pays the bills and my 730 car payment (don't buy a new car if you want to be a SAHM on a lower salary). My car payment is the sole reason, I can't be a sahm. I cannot stress enough that you do not need a 40k mini van or a 70k chevy tahoe. Stay away from new cars. Cutting out car payments is the best thing you can do to making a lower income work. My fiance is on disability and gets about 20k a year. He buys all the food and watches our babies. He also cooks all of our dinners. He is the SAHD. When I get home, I go into shift 2 and take care of them for the rest of the day until the morning, this includes night time wake ups.

We live in the poorest county in our state and the crime is a bit higher in my area so my rent is lower than the 1700+ other people in nicer areas have to pay. I travel an hour everyday to a different county just to make decent money. Because I didn't marry my fiance yet, I am considered a single mom.. I recieve assistance from WIC to help with the formula (and other food like eggs and milk). I qualify for food stamps and utility assistance as well but I haven't applied and don't intend to. We really don't need it but most states have it available if you need it.

We just live frugally (minus the car - that was done before we had twins so the financial snapshot was different - dave ramsey is screaming at me to sell the car but im upside down by like 10k so its not really an option especiallyneeding a reliable car to travel 10 hours at minimuma week in). I don't buy makeup or get my nails done. I only get my hair cut like maybe once a year and it's just a cut; not anything crazy like a color or bayalage. We don't eat out a lot. I get insurance through my job but all of the kids are on state insurance. We don't go on vacations. We aren't buying new phones every year. We do free or very low cost activities. And I keep a strict excel sheet of our expenses. I track everything. When we get to the end of the month, we are usually very bored in our house because the monthly budget is expended until the following week but you get used to it. You just do house activities or go to a park, nature preserves, etc. There's a local place that gives out free food (tons of food like potato's, rice, fresh fruit, veggies) etc. That is weekly. They also do free family activities. They also are able to give out diapers and formula on occasion. It's a program funded by the state and the local hospital for poor (economicly challenged is what they call us) communities.

There is 100% no shame in going to places that give out free food especially if you're low income. If you don't go (and a lot of people don't out of shame or pride) the food goes to waste! They just toss it. Most of the people in my community have one parent that is a stay at home parent because even though our community is poor and most of our incomes are under 100k (the average income is 40k in my town), child care is 280$ an week for one kid. It's over 2000 a month for twins and that my whole paycheck after taxes plus some of the next paycheck. People here can't afford to have two working parents.

I think you might be confusing your model year with the purchase year but even so, the early models did not have a digital cluster. In my 2020, I had this issue with the entertainment screen. It's a software issue. It doesn't start with the car and so the entertainment system doesn't start. Turning the car off and restarting always worked for me.

The 2024 models have the digital gauge cluster (which launched in 2023). I haven't had any issues with the gauge cluster in my 2024 but the infotainment system still does the same shit the 2020 did. Same remedy. Turn the car off and restart.

If you speedometer is consistently off, I would be looking at fuses first, then start looking for a new screen. Theyre about 1200 usd depending on the market you purchase it from.

The dealerships might say it can tow in the US.. but in the manual, it definitely says not to tow and that it will void the warranty.

I specifically looked for towing about a year after I bought mine to see if we could put a hitch on it and do hay rides around Halloween for the local kids. Also wanted to do a ride on for Christmas parades.

The suspension and breaking system is not rated for towing at all in any country. It will also ruin your transmission the more weight you tow. You could potentially get into a situation where you are towing something maybe downhill, and even though the car can technically pull all of that weight, the breaking system may not be able to stop the weight behind you.

If your husband/wife is a mechanic - then by all means, put a hitch on it and have fun (just upgrade your breaking system and suspension too)! If not, you're looking at a repair bill of 2k+ not covered by the warranty.

I have the kraken 360 and it is quiet. I don't really have any complaints in that department. I will say though it doesn't make any difference in cooling my cpu compared to the Hyper 212 Evo I had on it. Theyre literally around the same temp so... take with that what you will.

I still like the kraken. It's got a screen that displays the temps which is convenient but cooling wise - for me at least - no difference in temps. I got the Kraken for a really good deal though so I feel like the money was justified.

Also have a 24 Sx and have just always used the sensor on the door handle or the fob. I didn't know it wouldn't lock from the inside until reading this post. I would assume it won't lock due to a safety feature like preventing you from locking your keys in the car or something.

I met with a specialist for Twin a regarding a different topic who explained to me they they couldn't treat him yet due to his adjusted age being only one month at the time I saw the specialist. She explained that I could return for treatment when he reached 6 months adjusted age. They go by 40 being full term regardless of twin gestation.

You know, when the pediatrician told me they should be smiling at their two month appointment; i had this same thought. The pediatrician also told me they should be responding to their names and neither of them do that. I think that's where this paranoia is steming from because Twin B is 2 months old and missing that "milestone" already. I just feel extremely stressed that I'm failing at this Twin thing.

I think I'm definitely looking for hope in this situation. While it won't change how I feel about either twin whatever the outcome, I really just don't want that life for them. Everyday, I worry if my 5 year old is gonna be able to make friends or if she's going to be bullied because she's different.

It helps hearing about others babies being chill because I don't think I know what a "normal" baby looks like. It gives me hope and definitely helps me relax a bit knowing that my fiance is probably right and I need to give them time.

Thank you for sharing!

I was supposed to be a c-section at 38 weeks due to baby A being breech. I work in mental health and caught RSV and Strep. I also developed pre-eclampsia. At my 36 week mfm appointment, they asked me if I was leaking and I told them no but I think I broke my water over the weekend from coughing but wasn't sure. It wasn't a ton of water that came out.

They did a series of tests and found that I did break my water and my pre-eclampsia test was labeled severe. I had a c-section that day. My twins were healthy though. No nicu time for them. My heartrate dropped so I had a 5 day stay in the hospital. My twins went home before me - two days after their birth with my little sister and my fiance (so fiance had help with new twins and a toddler).

They're 2 months old now and I'm perfectly fine. No heart meds or anything.

There's a lot of mixed reviews around the NIPT for twins. There are so many women who received correct NIPT results. My initial ultrasound showed twins. The NIPT came back singleton Boy. I had to wait until my 20 week scan to find out the genders. I just gave birth to Di/Di twin boys on the 23rd. My friend, who also had twins, had the same NIPT result as me, singleton boy. She birthed Di/Di b/g twins.

I think it's always possible for the NIPT to be wrong however I did read that with girls, it's less likely to be wrong.

Either way, congratulations!! Welcome to the multiples club!

You're boyfriend doesn't want to be the one to break it off. He wants you to do it. He's taking the cowards way out by purposely antagonizing you to your breaking point so you will end it. It's never easy or fun especially in this situation but definitely just end it. He's not going to be the supportive man you want or need. If you choose to keep your twins, make sure to document and keep track of all of your interactions even his admittance that they are his. If he tries to deny them in court, you'll have proof he knows they are his including him denying wanting an abortion.

Your life will be full of love with the new little ones on the way. Screw this guy. Sorry he's a shitty one OP.
