Family Forum / Parenting / Twins / November 2003

We will be welcoming our twins to our family in February (knock wood).
We have an almost 2 year old daughter too.  I'm wondering how long
you kept your boy/girl twins sharing the same room?  I'm thinking two
years from when they are born, my older daughter will move into the

Help!!!!!
My boys are now 7 months old (5mos corrected) and they (and I) need to nap!
Problem:  they won't, so I can't :-(
Seriously--I'm losing it here.  Today I had to call my husband home from

Hi Brigitte!

Hi, all --
Has anyone here seen The Cat in the Hat?  I notice it's PG and not G.
Is it scary?  
Thanks for any insights.

Jordan has had Mommy-itis so bad lately.  She wants me to go eveywhere with
her, including preschool.  On school mornings she tells me she doesn't want to
go to school and then she cries when I drop her off at school.  On Monday I had
to take Madison to the dr. for a follow-up visit ...

Happy 9th Birthday to Sharon's (Lizzard Woman) Willow and Savannah!
I hope you have a wonderful day!  :-)
(I hope they realize the country doesn't have a holiday just for them.
LOL!  ;-) )

Has anybody used a twin baby carrier and if so ..... what sort?   was it
good?  and do you know if you can get it in the UK?  We have got too single
carriers, but not the sort that could be worn together if just one of us was
going out with the twins.

I just had a thought today and found myself stumped.  I guess I thought I'd ask
for opinions and input before this ever comes up for us.  When your
twins/multiples get invited to a birthday party, do you send two gifts or one?
My initial reaction was to send one nice gift.  But, ...

I have been feeling like a slack Mama for not taking my girls to the dentist
before now, so I called my dentist to make an appt. for the girls' first dental
check-up and was told that they don't recommend that children come in until
they're around the age of 5.  That seems *very* ...

I am curious.....
 Are there any same sex twins that were "bi-chorial" with two separate
placentas and "BI-amniotic" with two separate amniotic sacs, and later DNA
tested later and proved to be identical in this news group.  I wonder how

I just wanted to share.  I took Jake to the dentist yesterday to get a filling.
He had a hole in his tooth from the way it was formed, no cavity yet, but they
wanted to fill it.  So anyway, this is his second filling.  He did awesome!!
He jumped right up on the chair and didn't ...

Does anyone have any personal experience with this?

Has your email addy changed? Tried to email you today and it said "mailbox

 I am curious if anyone subscribes to Twins Magazine and if they recommend it?
It seems kind of pricey and I am wondering if it is worth it.
Also,  while I was on their website www.twinsmagazine.com I found a link to a
twin study conducted by Harvard.  I thought I would mention it ...

We put two paperwhite bulbs in bulb vases two weeks ago and added water.
They are almost 8 inches tall already! The girls are really enjoying
watching them grow. It's great because you can see the roots as well as the
shoots. I usually plant amaryllis but they take forever to grow ...
