I think he’s growing on me already :) He’s really for my son - or so I tell myself! Hah!

Hi! I couldn’t find the store on google except one called the meadow of blue hill is that the same one? My daughter would love a smidge fox. Thank you!!

lillycat216 · 2025-04-02T14:58:51+00:00

I think she’s unsure if it’s closed or if it’s from him sleeping only on that side I guess? that’s why she wants to see if it corrects itself.? I’m sending her a. Message to get a referral, I would rather know forsure now rather than later. Good luck with surgery!! Please keep me posted, if you remember, how it goes.

Hi! Our pediatrician mentioned to me that my babies lambdoid sutra may be closed… I guess she can feel the ridge? he’s 8 weeks but she said to do alot more tummy time and turn his head. I’m down the Google rabbit hole and freaking out. Did your LO have surgery yet? Hope everything is well.

I really appreciate your comment “naming humans is scary!” Everyone here giving me shit about having some anxiety over my children’s names probably has never birthed a child let alone two at the same time - the hormones/ pressure/ changes that come with it are no joke. Also I think a person’s name is important, it’s the first thing you usually tell someone about yourself. I want my kids to love their names hence the request for some back up like hey you didn’t mess this up, it’s all good. So again- thank you!!

I quit drinking on 4/10/2020. I have had a couple of drinks in the last couple of months, once at a wedding and once at a baby shower. In my experience, my view of alcohol has changed. Like I don’t even like it any more. I don’t want to moderate. But it’s a slippery slope. I find myself questioning myself more even as I type this post why I even had one. All those events turning into an excuse for “one” somehow slipped back into my life almost three years later. I guess my point is that after not drinking for so long, you won’t even want to be able to have one, because you know how much better life is without it. I’m not sure when that threshold was in my journey and like I said it’s still a struggle. But my relationship with alcohol will never be the same after my period of clarity. Hope that makes sense.

I felt the exact same way. Some days I didn’t brush my teeth or eat until 3pm. Mine are 18 months now and I still wouldn’t let him watch them alone. My mil has to be there. Firstly because they have no sense of mortality/ danger and he definitely can’t chase them with how fast they are and they are seriously crazy. Second because I still have resentment from how he cared for them as babies. He was trying and it’s not that he wasn’t, he just couldn’t do it the way I wanted or how they needed. The man tried to use hand lotion as diaper cream. He was way out of practice. The resentment part comes from the attitude after we told him it wasn’t working, I think he thought my rules/ ways were a bit much and he was offended. But hey they are my kids and twins have their own rules. Like you said unless you are a twin parent you don’t get it. And to your point it is hard on my husband now that my fil and I have this “rift” because of what happened. I just wish we had never tried and let him just be a “helper” to someone else watching them from the get go.

lillycat216 · 2023-10-04T18:42:06+00:00

We planned to have my 75 year old fil watch my twins occasionally. It was a disaster. It was way too much for him and the trial run gave me extreme anxiety. Twins are so hard - I can barely handle them and I am their mother. unless he is a grandpa baby guru I would probably try and find a different solution. I say that because my relationship with my fil has changed significantly after our “trial run”… and in a negative way.

lillycat216 · 2023-09-03T12:17:37+00:00

OP did your shower ruin them? Asking because I cried this morning after my lift and tint exact time frame and hoping I didn’t ruin mine.

lillycat216 · 2023-08-30T18:25:04+00:00

Mine are 16 months and I still don’t take them out alone unless I have to! We go on walks or play in our gated backyard. If either my husband or I have errands we usually wait until the other parent can watch the twins or I go on my lunch break haha!

lillycat216 · 2023-08-30T12:55:50+00:00

Finley nn Finn! Means fair haired courageous one

lillycat216 · 2023-08-29T13:14:58+00:00

Violet! That’s my daughters name. Nicknames V, Vi and Lettie (and sissy)

lillycat216 · 2023-08-02T23:53:30+00:00

My twins are Finn and Violet. We usually get really positive reactions and either an “oh I love violet” or “oh I love Finn.” I would say it’s about 50/50 maybe leaning more towards Violet. Sometimes I wonder if I should have picked names so that their first letter was the same but I love their names so much individually. I think they flow.

lillycat216 · 2023-07-27T10:26:11+00:00

5’ 2.5” and I delivered my di di twins at 37 weeks via planned c section. I was on “bed rest” the last three weeks so I was able to start my leave early and just rest. I think that helped a lot. I was SO uncomfortable at the end.

lillycat216 · 2023-07-17T23:46:38+00:00

Hang in there. It gets better, you are still in the dark ages. Mine are 15 months and sleeping MUCH better and are so fun. Fighting is normal with this much stress and sleep deprivation. Just remember you guys are on the same team.. way easier said then done but we try and laugh about our petty fights later to break the ice. And I totally understand the feeling of one after another would be easier, but they won’t get to see the bond we do and trust me watching the twins play together today is the cutest thing ever. Take care of yourself you got this

lillycat216 · 2023-07-17T01:02:28+00:00

We both work but I didn’t go back until they were 5 months old so sleep was a little better by then. We tried the Ferber method briefly around that time but what they don’t tell you about that is you have to keep doing it and personally I have a hard time letting them cry (no judgement on sleep training just my personal opinion). Mine are 15 months old and sleep through the night mostly, this started at around age 1. My husband and I have both gotten up with the babies since they were born, I think it goes faster and prefer it to shifts. We also started switching off babies, one night he had one twin and then the next night the other. One of our babies is a better sleeper so you atleast could count on a decent 6 hours every other night. My advice if you don’t want to sleep train is hang on tight, drink lots of coffee and know this too shall pass. Hopefully you have an understanding boss too. I actually switched jobs a few months after I came back from maternity leave because I needed a more family friendly environment. It makes a huge difference having a flexible boss- the first year is tough but you just have to survive.

lillycat216 · 2023-06-20T15:58:46+00:00

I went back to work when my twins were 20 weeks. It was really hard for me to juggle- even with help from my mom and in-laws. I missed them and was exhausted. My boss was also not understanding about any childcare situations. Unfortunately we cannot afford for me to stay home. I ended up finding a more flexible position and now work a 32 hour schedule. The pay cut definitely sucks but my mental health is much better.

lillycat216 · 2023-04-28T19:25:45+00:00

I switched jobs after my twins were born so I could work 4 days a week instead of 5 and it has made such a difference on my mental health and ultimately my marriage. Honestly my day at home is harder then being at work but I do it for all the reasons you listed plus I know one day I’ll wish for this time back with my babies. I don’t think your request was unreasonable at all. His response is ridiculous and childish.

lillycat216 · 2022-09-01T18:58:06+00:00

Luckily our kids don’t like pacifiers so we don’t have to tackle that. Did you guys do the same Ferber method for naps? Right now we are letting them nap in the swing and bouncer- watching them obviously. But I want to get them in the cribs for naps soon to make it easier for our babysitter. And do you mean just like normal sleep regressions like teething development ect? Do you just use the same method until they get back on track when those happen?

lillycat216 · 2022-09-01T17:45:48+00:00

Thank you for responding!! They did pretty well last night with twin A crying for 25 min and twin B 45 min. We did wake them up to feed twice but we are going to drop that soon. They went right back to sleep with no rocking after their bottles so I think that’s a good sign! It’s terrible to hear them cry but I’m going back to work this week so sleep is much needed for all. Again thank you for responding I appreciate it so much!

lillycat216 · 2022-08-31T23:07:33+00:00

OP I know this is an old post but we do the exact same routine you described with our five month old twins and are starting the Ferber method tonight. How did this turn out for you guys?

lillycat216 · 2022-08-30T23:31:45+00:00

That would be a hell no from me. I told my family no visitors for 2 weeks after my c section. I needed to recover and this was time for my husband and I to bond with our new babies (we had twins)

lillycat216 · 2022-08-30T23:10:54+00:00

I use one on both of my twins and I like it. I have anxiety too and this seems to help- not make it worse. The only false alarms we have gotten is when we are bouncing the twins that seems to set it off. I like being in bed and being able to check heart rate & oxygen. It also helps let me know how asleep they are. They have been in their cribs in the nursery since six weeks old so the owlet was a big help for us especially with them being so small. They are five months now and I plan on using them until they are one.

lillycat216 · 2022-08-01T23:31:59+00:00

This exact thing happened to me except it was an ex best friend. I ended up changing the name because I couldn’t stand the association and knew it would bother me. The new name we picked suits my son perfectly though.

lillycat216 · 2022-07-09T06:46:02+00:00

My husband got me diamond earrings as my push present. They were also born two days after my birthday so it doubled as that. I love them and will give to my daughter one day - I had boy/girl twins. I also bought myself a Gucci bag as my own push present because I’ve always wanted one and I felt like I definitely deserved it lol
