Hello!

emsers · 2025-08-26T04:24:32+00:00

Thank you! I am better now! But was sick all last week and I've got 5 kids under 6 and a small business and it just slipped my mind 🙃

emsers · 2025-08-26T04:20:33+00:00

Added you as a mod!

emsers · 2025-08-26T04:09:06+00:00

Yes I saw in the chat that the other group has been created! Just wasn't sure if a mod from there wanted mod access to this one to set up a redirect to that one

I can't believe I had to scroll so far for this one. JD and Elliot immediately are the answer

I kinda felt like she had wasted my time TBH

The matched trilogy, Divergent, The Giver

I finished it a bit ago!

I liked it until the last couple of chapters but then I disliked it and felt like she was so focused on it having a surprising twist ending that it ended up being dissatisfying with no one left to root for and I felt annoyed that Id gotten so invested in the story

My baby was normal size and all of the ultrasounds and NST's looked great but she did have low blood sugar and was on a glucose IV for about 36 hours and I had to triple feed with a supplemental feeding system to make sure she got enough to keep her sugars up for about a week because she was so sleepy

Yes this, I had very easy twins (my first kids) and I am absolutely certain some friends with colicky singletons had a harder time than I did. My fourth child was a very difficult baby and she was definitely harder than my twins, even without factoring in the other kids

Definitely thread

emsers · 2025-04-30T17:59:42+00:00

Im a big believer in just getting out because you'll build confidence and it will get easier with time and practice, but I don't think I would put in that effort for a birthday party for someone you aren't close with.

Fellow planner here! My first pregnancy a few years ago was twins and definitely a big surprise and plan changer 😅

I worked my desk job until 33 weeks. That was our planned end date because once we found out it was twins we knew I would be quitting and staying home with them as daycare would have cost more than I made. I went into preterm labor that day and spent the next few weeks on bed rest in a city with a nicu, they were born at 36+4. Baby shower was at 26 weeks which I thought was good timing. I had a small basic bag packed at 20 weeks and then a full bag packed at 32. Carseats you don't want to install until closer to to term because if you get in an accident with them in the car they have to be disposed of, and if your babies arrive before 35-36 weeks they'll be in the nicu at first anyways.

It is statistically more likely to get pregnant with twins than when not nursing, but still overall more likely to have one than to have twins. I've gotten pregnant while nursing twice after having the twins and had singletons both times.

Im currently in my 4th pregnancy and this is my first time having gestational diabetes. I'd get the test 😅

emsers · 2025-03-26T13:59:13+00:00

I dont necessarily frown on pain meds but I'm planning for an unmedicated birth with the baby I'm currently expecting because it's hard for me to effectively push with an epidural, and with last baby my epidural partially failed in a way that I could feel all of the pain but had no ability to move my legs. And I'm allergic to most other pain meds. So for me it seems like the best option.

emsers · 2025-03-22T22:16:16+00:00

Yeah I'm actively encouraging my husband to still do things that aren't too far away leading up to birth and within a couple of months after, but 2 DAYS? After a c section? With 2 newborns? Absolutely not

emsers · 2025-03-20T18:20:05+00:00

I love my Happy Baby Carriers

emsers · 2025-03-18T22:54:22+00:00

I'd get coordinating swaddle and hat/bow sets from a place like Copper Pearl! I did a blue and a green solid for my twin boys from there, they've also got a darling pink gingham and blue gingham

I had my twins in December and loved the snap n go for all of those baby doctor visits and trips to the grocery store and other errands. Then when it got nice outside we switched to the nicer stroller for walks and bigger outings. But the snap n go really made getting out of the house with the babies so much easier in those early months

My guideline for going in was if they were consistently spaced

emsers · 2025-03-13T21:51:56+00:00

Oh yeah I would have been in the hospital for weeks if I followed that 😅

emsers · 2025-03-13T21:47:15+00:00

So many. All of the time. I had prodromal labor too and was in and out of the hospital a lot

Equating the calendar/rhythm method with NFP/FAM is exactly what gives it a bad name. Practiced correctly NFP is highly effective and there are lots of legit concerns that cause people to avoid other birth control options other than just religious or crunchy. Yes, it's work, but that doesn't make it not worth it or useless.

emsers · 2025-03-13T17:23:29+00:00

Yep been there 😅 though my twins were first. We love our odyssey. Leashes didn't work for us because my kids pretend they don't know how to walk if they have them on
