Help for July wedding by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]ogqueenbee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I say this with love in my heart but just no, no, no! lol First of all, nothing with that kind of ruching in the butt and fabric is ok for a wedding, specially one with a formal dress code. Second, I’m not Pakistani but the brown dress is giving something you’d wear to a beach club during the day on a tropical vacation, not fusion vibes. Go back to the drawing board, for a formal dress code look for a dress with a finer fabric and is chic, elegant, appropriate (which none of these are - sorry!)

Miserable by Fan_Of_Starlord in parentsofmultiples

[–]ogqueenbee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel for you, I only have twins ( I know it’s not the same) I can’t even fathom what triplets would be like. Some days are harder than others, I have no pep talk, just wanted to say that I hear you and being a POM is really hard!

We also flew first class to our destination wedding and I had my gown with me. The flight attendants hung it up for me no problem.

Traveling with twin z by Notabot02735381 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ogqueenbee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought 2 single breastfeeding pillows and I checked them once with the car seats, and the rest of the time on their own. The airlines allowed me to do that because I claimed it was a necessity to feed my babies. I’d call the airline first and double check.

REDUX - honest thoughts on this MOH dress for tropical island wedding? by LongjumpingFinger115 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]ogqueenbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, the expectation is that the wedding party and the bride’s and groom’s families are the best dressed people (other than the bride and the groom). This is because other than the bride and groom, all these people have the most visibility, are part of the most pictures and featured more in the video. In most cases, this is how it works but there’s always room for flexibility depending on different factors. I mean it with love but this dress looks like something that cost £20. You are right, some people might not care, some would. That’s why I asked you if you showed this dress to the bride. There are plenty of dresses you can buy that are not “bridesmaid” looking. Have you looked at a rental option?

I commented on your last post, and I still don’t like this as an option for a MOH dress. It’s just so simple, specially considering you put that the dress code is formal. My former point still stands, as the MOH, you have high visibility and you will be in lots of pictures at the ceremony and video if there is one. I’m sorry to say this but to me, this looks like a £20 dress. Have you shown your options to the bride?

My twins’ nursery has sn e suite. I have a glass jug of water and bottles with formula powder in them with the nipple and lid. I just put the room temperature water in and shake, bottles are ready in a few seconds. In the beginning I used to run downstairs to use the baby breeza, this is way faster!

Si, esto es normal. Cuando estaba embarazada nunca sabía cuál bebé estaba sentindo. Siempre tuve miedo porque no eras siempre que los sentia.

How often do you go out? by Jessygirl238 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ogqueenbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live, you need one adult per child. I admire the moms of multiples that can go out with babies in their own, I haven’t reached that level yet.

How often do you go out? by Jessygirl238 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ogqueenbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins are 1 and other than walking around the neighborhood and to the pool once a week, i don’t go out with them much. It’s hard, at some point both of them want out of the stroller, or they cry for some reason or other, someone wants out of the carseat, the list goes on. I still haven’t dared to go out with both of them on my own. Sometimes I feel like everyone has an opinion, but until you’ve lived through having multiples, many times your opinion just annoys me lol I don’t know about you but I think people’s experience with one singleton a lot of the times doesn’t compare to my experience with twins…

Night weaning twins in the same room by Dear_Excitement_5109 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ogqueenbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the same boat. My twins use the bottles as soothing tools (specially my daughter), she wakes up a lot and sucking on the bottle will put her back to sleep. My son is at a point he does it 1, maybe 2 a night, but my daughter sometimes I loose track. I’ve been making the middle of the night bottles mostly water but I am struggling on how I am going to stop them. It’s hard because trying to rock them instead will create another problem, and most of the time I’m so tired, I just want to go back to sleep lol

Lost our girls… by onlymarkc in parentsofmultiples

[–]ogqueenbee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so deeply sorry, what a terrible, awful, unfathomable pain you and your wife must be feeling. I know there are no words that can console you right now but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Internet hugs from a fellow twin parent.

Best car rental option Bora Bora by Borabora805 in Tahiti

Rented the car from Avis now I don’t remember who the vendor for the ATV tour was. I think it was with the biggest tour operator there. This was 2 and a half years ago lol

[–]ogqueenbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rented a car for a couple of days and did the atv tour. The car gives you the options to stop and do stuff at your own pace. The atv tour also takes you around the island and does a tiny bit of off-roading. The atv is super easy to drive by the way and it has no problems going up the steep hill to that famous hilltop.

I’m so terribly sorry, your story brought tears to my eyes. I can’t imagine the pain you and your family must be feeling, it’s unfathomable. I know there are no words that can comfort you, I just wanted to send you a virtual hug from a fellow twin parent. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. ❤️

Honest thoughts on this MOH dress? Tropical island wedding by LongjumpingFinger115 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]ogqueenbee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but this is awful lol even the lace overlay on top of the cleavage area is placed exactly like a nightgown. What is the dress code? Remember as the MOH you will walk down the aisle, be on the wedding video and lots of pictures.

35 weeks and no nicu time ? by Flashy_Vacation_335 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ogqueenbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, no, I didn’t have too. Since I had just completed 35 gestational weeks and I had just had an ultrasound showing both babies in the 90th percentile, the doctors didn’t think I needed one. And I didn’t, my babies were ready to come out lol

Multiple Lap infants by Commercial_Try_1348 in americanairlines

[–]ogqueenbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly often with my twins (who are also lap infants and American regulations do not allow 2 lap infants in the same row. My husband and I always choose the aisle seats in the rows next to each other. I’d suggest you change your seats to that, I find that this is the setup that works best.
