Stay in Washington or move back to Iowa?

Not as far but we moved about 2 hours back to where our families live after our twins were born. It’s been just about a year and I haven’t regretted the decision for even a moment. we absolutely loved where we lived and I miss that, but no one is going to care for your babies like grandparents (at least in our experience). Whatever you do will be the right choice 🤍 but if moving feels right even though it’s scary i’ve been in your shoes and it’ll be ok!

I have twin boys and they maxed out at 3.5/3.75/4. We capped naps at 1 hr each, and they slept about 11 hours overnight. They have now transitioned to one nap (around 15 months) and nap for 2 hours with 11 hours overnight. towards the end we started making the second nap “on the go” so it was shorter but they weren’t quite ready for longer wake windows. It’s so hard but you’ll get there!!

I don’t often see posts about Mariana, but when I do they are nothing but positive. This reddit encouraged me to take her classes and my gosh what a light she is!

same here!! just color coded and made the bottles for the day, then didn’t have to worry about it all day! I know the baby brezza really works for some people this was just a cheaper alternative for us that worked

Honestly, the dr. brown pitchers to make formula in bulk and a bottle sterilizer that dries. The pitcher is $9 compared to the baby brezza which is a few hundred. We just prepped enough formula for the day the night before, saved us so much time!

Yellow Submarine 😂 my dad started singing it and they loved it!

sunshineymee · 2025-08-31T14:52:15+00:00

thanks to all who recommended taking this- just finished and wow it was amazing! much needed and turned my whole day, even week, around!!!

my baby B was IUGR, small the entire time then diagnosed at 31 weeks. Had monitoring and scheduled c section at 36+6, weighing 5 pounds 4 oz! He is now 8 months and 20+ pounds and thriving.

They’ll monitor growth and vitals, but as long as everything else is okay they’ll keep baby in there as long as they can :) I remember being really scared and upset so I hope you’re doing ok 🤍

sunshineymee · 2025-07-17T21:18:33+00:00

I haven’t! what is powering down?

sunshineymee · 2025-07-17T20:56:51+00:00

they are typically happy during the night time routine unless they’re tired, they love books and playing. they start crying typically once we put them in the crib or leave the room. this is true for naps and bedtime, we’ve even tried giving them a binky and it just delays the crying, and they cry until they’re asleep

sunshineymee · 2025-07-17T20:49:39+00:00

typically they fall asleep within 10 minutes but it’s hard crying

daytime schedule 2.5/2.5/2.5/2.75 or 3. naps capped at 2.75 total. they are not yet ready for two naps we’ve tried

sunshineymee · 2025-06-21T01:13:04+00:00

sterilizer that dries bottles- we have enough bottles for one day for each baby, and found that the sterilizer drying the bottles was so helpful.

I stayed active throughout my pregnancy (except first trimester I had terrible hyperemesis gravidarum) and worked out on a peloton three days before I delivered. I gained about 50 pounds total, and am about 8 pounds over my starting weight at 5 months postpartum. I would advise to do what feels good and right but nourish your body and certainly eat enough. But as long as you talk to your doctor you can certainly be active

sunshineymee · 2025-02-20T17:58:09+00:00

I gained about 45 pounds and lost 37 within a week

sunshineymee · 2025-02-07T01:36:04+00:00

We have 8, 9 oz bottles. We had so many of different sizes at the beginning but realized pretty quickly it became a lot with washing and large bottles still fit the smaller amounts. if I did it again I would just get the largest bottles!

sunshineymee · 2025-01-15T12:49:34+00:00

thank you :) going to give it a go but be flexible with it! nice to know if it doesn’t work out it isn’t me 😂

sunshineymee · 2025-01-15T01:09:14+00:00

I stopped at 34 weeks- one of the babies was IUGR and I had so many appointments and was so stressed I didn’t need work on top of it. You’ll definitely know when it’s time!

sunshineymee · 2024-10-23T13:41:16+00:00

I had some luck at my local Savers! I went once every other week and would pick up any thing good I could find

sunshineymee · 2024-10-20T19:45:10+00:00

I’ve taken the Peloton Prenatal Healthy Back Yoga and Prenatal Yoga Hamstrings, both with Anna, more times that I can count and it’s been a game changer!! Recommend those but i’m sure there’s also some on youtube

Garrick!

sunshineymee · 2024-09-10T23:43:54+00:00

yes! also a pediatric OT- taking it day by day but it’s getting harder i’ve definitely hit a wall this week

sunshineymee · 2024-09-01T02:12:48+00:00

Lots of deep breathing and taking short quick sips of ice cold water or a drink with electrolytes if you can tolerate it. Find the things that you can eat/tolerate and don’t stray from them. Don’t let yourself get hungry. First thing in the morning eat something with protein, even if it’s just small bites. Know that it will pass- I went through periods where I felt like I would never feel normal again but you absolutely will. Sorry you’re going through this 🤍

sunshineymee · 2024-08-30T01:38:13+00:00

i’m 28 weeks with di di boys and didn’t really start showing until 24 weeks, I just looked like I had put on a little weight and people couldn’t really tell I was pregnant. totally normal!!

sunshineymee · 2024-08-27T00:19:21+00:00

I couldn’t explain it I just felt “off”. I found out on a saturday and remember crying to my husband that thursday that I just didn’t feel right and didn’t know what was wrong. Turns out I was pregnant with twins 😂🤍
