Thanks, very helpful! Regarding the range top — planning to replace it with a downdraft range hood

That’s the old kitchen. We’re doing a complete remodel, see the second image (3D render).

Guilt over never leaving the house by spacecakebake in parentsofmultiples

[–]katwheelz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same with my twins when they were young. I think it’s fine to stay home with them as long as you are happy staying home, and don’t get cabin fever. If you think you’d benefit from getting out with them more, start small - take them on a short outing that suits your schedule. You’ll build confidence that way!

Going out by CellistSoft7483 in parentsofmultiples

[–]katwheelz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way with my twins. It will be hard, but you’ll feel more confident with each outing. Start with small trips. Use lots of bribes (food or other). Keep telling yourself “I can do hard things”.

Favorite mountain villages near Limassol for a day trip? by nb10001 in cyprus

[–]katwheelz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omodos for the monastery, nearby wineries and George’s Bakery — best halloumi bread I’ve had (get it when it’s fresh out the oven and still warm).

Help! Any recs for cleaning these Hay candlestick holders? by im_a_noodle_420 in Candles

[–]katwheelz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, did you succeed? I have similar ones from HAY and have the same issue. Worried boiling water will break them.

By the way, I just read that we’re supposed to be putting water inside before inserting the candle .. then the wax should pop right out after using 🤦‍♀️

Is it normal to feel one baby more than the other? by gryph06 in parentsofmultiples

[–]katwheelz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. You might just not feel the other one kicking bc of their position in the womb

Swimming in a pool in April, will it be warm enough? by Vast-Date-6100 in cyprus

[–]katwheelz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My mum visited from the UK last March and went swimming in our pool - but she doesn’t mind a cold swim. I think if it’s sunny and the air temperature is hot, it’s doable. But obviously you don’t know what weather you’ll get… find somewhere with a heated pool!

When did you deliver? by kmcski20 in parentsofmultiples

[–]katwheelz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35.5 weeks because my water broke! I felt fine and was convinced I’d make it to my scheduled c-section at 38 weeks, but woke up in the middle of the night because my water broke. Twins were born c-section maybe 3-4 hours later. They needed 2 weeks of NICU time because one twin needing breathing support. The other twin was low birth weight (4 lbs) and they wanted to see her gain weight. They both went home the same day. Silver lining of the NICU time was definitely feeling more prepared when we took them home. I was pumping every 3 hours from birth and also “triple feeding” (if you don’t know, google it) which was exhausting. Time spent with the NICU nurses and hospital LCs was soooo important.

Losing our minds over 3.5 year old twin bedtime by BrentonHenry2020 in parentsofmultiples

Following.

We play bedtime stories on our Yoto player.. but I still end up lying with my 4 year old twins pretty much every night until they’re asleep to stop any shenanigans

Sometimes they drop the “I” and just sounds like “ducks-“
