Multiples

but, im not having twins, i actually worked myself up so much, i would have loved twins, o well, maybe next time  im just as happy with my singleton,

Cath's post made me think of when my girls started 'talking' to each other. This is when they were 3 1/2 months old. At this time, Thing 2 (on the left) was only 2 lbs lighter but she looked so much smaller!

Hello Everyone & thank you for the invite to be part of this fantastic group!!

My name is Trik and I have twin daughters Maddison & Teirabella (Maddi & Bella for short). They were born Feb 9th 2006 7 I can't believe their 3rd Birthday is closing in on us! The girls have been Josh (my husband) & I's world and although sometimes I find myself asking that Question "Who on earth thought I would be a good person to raise twins??", we wouldn't have it any other way.

I am now 32 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child, another little girl to be named Lilliana. Am a little scared as to how to cope with my demanding angels and a totally dependant baby girl. Also want to try and minimilise any ill feelings of the girls - they have been the centre of everyones universe for their whole lives!!!

Anyway, hope to chat with you all,

Trik :o)

I wanted to add a photo of the girls, but am having troubles getting any photos to upload.

First off I'd like to welcome all the new members recently and congrats to those who have just found out they are having twins!  Come on guys lets really get this group happening!!!

My twins are just coming up to six months and rolling etc. They lay side by side and will"talk" to each other now. They love holding hands too. They are getting to be big bubbas and growing fast. I love this age. I know I should start feeding them when they drool watching me eat LOL

Question is, now that I'm about to start feeding them solids, what's the best way to go about it?? Any ideas??

Cath xxoo

My girls are now walking (though they still do sit down and try to crawl). Today I decided not to take the stroller in when picked up my son from preschool. It was very slow going inching along, but we made it. When we got inside the building, a mom with a 3 year old and a 6 month old smiled at me and said, "aww. It should make it easier for you now not to have to use the stroller!". I just smiled at kept on walking.

Truly she doesn't realize that though my girls were holding on to my fingers that they would realize one of these days that they can run away from me and go wherever they want? Then I would trully want the strollers and the ability to strap them in! lol

Hiya, parents of multiples. i have a questions, and i have no idea where to ask it so i thought i would start here. OK, so ive found out, that your hcg levels generally double everyday, if your having multiples, does that mean in a typical 24 hour period you wouldnt double but quadruple your hcg levels??? Is this so??? ive tried looking on goodle but seriously i never ask the right questions.

Then, if thats the case, on a singular birth you would test about 2 weeks after conception, then could you get a positive 1 week after??? Im just curious. Hubby had a dream we had quadruplits, and it was a very hot topic last night that left us asking alot of questions lol. Thanks xx

Hi Group- my name is Leah and I'm the proud mama of Rosemary and Lillian who are 6 months and one week old. I am new to minti but already love it. I've found some good advice for two issues I was having this weekend and both have now worked themselves out. I was just looking at pictures of them when they were little. I have a few tears in my eyes. It's amazing how fast they grow. I'm happy to have joined the group and look forward to meeting you as the time goes by. Rose is up now so off I go. :)

Figured since we had been talking about both in the tub would get a shot of them from this evenings bath.

There's Two to Wash
There's Two to dry
There's Two who Argue
There's Two who Cry
One's in the Mud having a Ball
The other holds a Crayon, another marked Wall
Some days seem endless
My Patience Grows Thin
Why was I chosen to be a Mother of Twins?
The Answer Comes Clear at the End of each Day
As I tuck them in Bed and to myself say,
There's Two to Kiss
There's Two to Hug
and Best of All
There's Two to Love!

I used to Graco DuoGlider and have had it since the girls were born. But the thing is the front doesn't recline enough to let whoever is in it fall asleep.  And the 2nd seat doesn't recline, it just lies completely flat. It's not bad to load and unload from the car but it's a mild workout.

Last week, after asking some twin moms, I got the Combi Twin Savvy. It's so much lighter, plus the girls can see each other, which is a plus because they look to each other when they are ovewhelmed. I avoided this kind of stroller before because I thought it may not fit through doors. But it's not been a problem so far. The problem is that the basket underneath is so small it's useless.

What kind of stroller do you guys use?
