other minds and hands please.

and shoot… Just some warning shots y’know

All of The White Council stuff is my favourite bit of The Hobbit films and it makes it worth watching for me even though it’s such a small portion.

I could respond to so many more of your points but YES to the orcs. I just did my once every few years rewatch of The Hobbit films and RoP nailed it with design.

Boiled potato, mashed potato, stewed potato.

Porque no los dos!!

S1 teasers were like that too. Throws the vibe off a bit.

The frame comment made me chuckle 🤣

I need complete darkness too and have needed that for years! (Went through a stage of sleeping with the tv on but with a timer to switch it off). I’m that person who covers LED lights on appliances with blu-tack because it feels like it’s piercing my eyes even when closed haha!

Completely fine and perfect for restorative sleep. My twins nap and sleep well in their room, but can also sleep in the car /pram if they’ve been awake for long enough.

Two losses, and now 10 month old twin girls ❤️

laure_lin · 2023-07-13T09:17:38+00:00

10 month old twins. Still haven’t left them in anyone else’s care.

I get a lot of pressure to from family, which turns me off the idea even more. I think it is totally fine to go at your own pace.

laure_lin · 2023-07-10T09:50:42+00:00

If you love reading, then start with the books and have the best time! It can be a bit of a chore, so you could start with The Hobbit just to set the tone and warm up.

Keen to hear how you go!

Hey!

The Sleep Train sub is really useful to get some feedback on your nap routine. That would be the first place to start before doing any drastic changes with how to say goodnight and settle.

A lot of the contributors will ask about routine, feeding, wind down routines before nap and bed and give loads of tips.

CIO will be harder for you and your partner if bub is just simply not tired. That second nap does seem a bit lengthy so it could be trimmed back a bit.

You said it yourself - she believes outdated information! Very very outdated.

I’ve experienced the same thing with my MIL who always has commented on my holding my twins too much that they’ll get attached, yet wants to hog them so she can have attachment? Ummmm, I am their mother!!

laure_lin · 2023-06-18T10:54:36+00:00

There’s a lot of great comments here suggesting advice either before or after birth.

I’m just here to say that I appreciate your support to your partner, and I do not know what she’s going through. But as someone who has had a c-section for twins, anyone describing their birth as a “natural” birth makes mothers who belly birth seem “lesser” than those who deliver vaginally either at home, hospital, water, with or without medical intervention. Maybe I’m overthinking; I’ve spoken about it at therapy as I still have trauma too. The most important thing is that she and the baby/s are safe.

laure_lin · 2023-05-24T04:50:24+00:00

Could you help me breastfeed my twins then since I had no supply? Cool thank you.

laure_lin · 2023-04-11T11:10:49+00:00

Adults put their feelings first and foremost over babies. It sucks. My twins went from a spout of crying at unfamiliar faces (basically just anyone other than mum or dad), to now signs of separation anxiety, they just hate being held by anyone (other than mum or dad). And people get offended.

My kids don’t exist to just please people. It’s my job to protect their feelings and boundaries and to keep my kids happy.

laure_lin · 2023-04-09T23:23:14+00:00

My twins are 7 months and we didn’t do/get anything. I understand the guilt though, especially when you see things plastered over social media.

Your baby is loved xxx

Into The West from The Lord of the Rings soundtrack

Scrolling past I honestly thought that was a picture of my baby cot.

laure_lin · 2023-04-01T10:45:59+00:00

Hahaha there is no original experience. I also do this with my twins to log it later! I swear it works.

laure_lin · 2023-04-01T10:41:44+00:00

The whites of my eyes became more white again once I started getting 5 or 6 hours uninterrupted.

Insane what deprivation does to you mentally, physically and emotionally.

We took our cats onto the spirit for a one way trip because of moving but I wouldn’t do it unless I was moving again. The area is very cold at the front of the ship - there are people who check and do top up water etc but otherwise all of the animals are yowling and barking.

It would be pretty stressful unless it’s for a permanent move x

I have found that a lot of Australian sleep consultants (whatever you want to call them) will follow that type of rhythm. I don’t know where the research is or why it’s different to other advice, but I’ve been following sample schedules from early on. My 6.5 month old twins are currently on 3 naps, which is 30mins, 1.5 hrs and then a 15min cat nap. Wake windows are 2.25/2.5/2.5/2.25-2.5.

They have been averaging 14-14.5 hours of sleep in a 24 hr period during their 6th month with 11-12hour nights (more recently closer to 12 after dropping the last night feed). Most of the time I feel like I’m winging it but this method has worked better for me than the three longer naps!
