@komdiarect I wanted the least intervention necessary. A C-section, while common, is still major abdominal surgery. There are unknowns in that too, because they're cutting into your uterus and your muscles. I was induced with my twins and B was born breech. We were in the OR in case it was...

@goblue24 It's just a thing that happens to some kids, twins or not. I think she's probably still feeling guilt from it. I think twin parents are more chill about knowing we can't prevent some things. The twin parent community is so much more supportive than singletons, who everyone assumes has...

@lisajcoleman1 My B flipped multiple times between 35 and 38. I delivered vaginally ONLY because my doctor was confident with a breech B delivery. I'd had a previous vaginal delivery that went smoothly. My hospital required delivery in the OR just in case of C-section and a epidural unless you...

@lengie I can't stand hangers! We have everything in drawers so they can get themselves dressed. The time to fold is worth it so they can put their clothes away and get dressed on their own

@enviromentallyfriendly I mean, I care about them looking nice when they go out to school.

@quedee I always see people say they don't fold their kids clothes but doesn't everything get super wrinkled?

@quaheem 38 week induction, zero signs of labor before. Delivered a breech B as planned and the whole process was so chill. It was almost too easy (with help of the mandatory epidural 😉). Much easier recovery than my singleton, probably because they were smaller.

@seventy We LOVED the Ollie swaddle at that age

@shijut20 People not thinking it's necessary to go to GT either aren't gifted themselves or had an integrated GT experience where they were still in their home school. What's best for your family is your daughter getting what she needs to succeed. Best of luck to her for adjusting. And to...

@shijut20 This is how our district treats GT and my oldest is going next year (ours starts at 1st grade). I'm dreading testing the twins and potentially having this happen 😫 I'd never take an obviously GT kid and waive the right to gifted services. At our district it's all or nothing. My oldest...

@charochez It's extra fun to take maternity leave when your company doesn't even let you bank sick time or vacation from year to year

@quedee One per kid. Search milestone boxes on Etsy. I made my own.

@quedee I have a file box for keeping the kids school stuff/art. If it's not worthy of that box (one file per grade) it goes straight to the trash.

@jesusisright7 That's better timing than me having to cancel my last dinner out while pregnant with my oldest as we walked out the door because my water broke 😅

@jembang Have you tried the 12 mo on them? Sizing up closed always looked huge til I actually put them on them. We switched to footless sleepers once they were pulling up (so size 9mo) and two piece at 18 months so that gave us some flexibility in length. Otherwise my kids are tall and skinny...

@twinmum My mom has said I'd have twins since I was a teen. I was 0% surprised when it was true.

@reformed1 I feel this. I always say the big kid (ours was only 27 months) was the hard part of having twins. Ours were born during Covid lockdowns so it was all of us together all the time. I think a lot of it comes down to time. That is a big age difference but they'll be more fun once they...

@coolguy123 Twins are hard but so, so special. My heart bursts every time I watch them hold hands and walk into preschool, and when they tell each other I love you unprompted and run for a hug from their twin. It's like the level of special of a close sibling relationship but magnified. I see...

@lisa Adult beds aren't safe until 2. You could do a toddler bed but it would need to be a completely baby proofed room, and they'd have to learn to stay in it. If they're not in toddler beds at home too that could be a struggle. You could get cribs that convert to toddler beds and they'd be...

@milliekeeling23 Yes that feeling goes away. There's still a limited number of people I trust with them but it's nothing like that postpartum feeling
