Katerina has this pink dress she absolutely loves.  Today she insisted
upon wearing it.  She pulled it out of the dirty laundry.  Knowing my
daughter like I do, I oblige.  After about 1/2 hour, I tell her her
dress is dirty and ask her if she would like another one.  She agrees.

Just looking for anyone else who's 37 weeks along with twins.  How are
you feeling?  What are your plans for delivery??
We are looking at a C-Section next Tuesday (Feb. 3rd).  Feeling
anxious and nervous about the whole surgery thing and also the coming

Has anyone had experiences with a change in stool color & consistency when
switching from Power Mix to Concentrate or vice versa?  For some strange
reason when the babies are on the powder their stools are loose, mustard and
very similar to that of when I breastfed them.  When ...

Happy 5th Birthday to Diana's (RayDiRhymr) Jared, Vanessa, & Grace!
I hope you have a wonderful day!  :-)

Joshua and Katerina have been so infatuated with their crayons and
markers lately, I would let them colour for hours. They absolutely loved it.

so I thought.

Just for fun, everyone list famous twins and/or famounts parents of twins.
Here are a few (and what they are):
Vin Diesel (has a fraternal brother twin)
Ahston Kutcher (has a fraternal brother twin)

We're moving into a house where we will have a playroom. Instead of
having just a room with 4 walls, I'm looking for unique/interesting
ways to bring the room together for my 3yr and 1 yr old.
I am looking for suggestions and ideas for a few things:

Joshua is sitting at one end of the living room and Katerina is running
to the other end where the toys are. She picks up a toy, puts it in her
mouth, runs over to Joshua, then spits it out at him, saying, "Foo!"
Then, she runs back for another toy. Joshua is laughing ...

Just to let you all know how proud I am of little popsy -- as usual.
We started PT 10 days ago.  She has had major constipation issues since
birth (she has been on prescription laxative for over a year with limited
success).  However, despite the pain etc. associated with that -- ...

Happy 9th Birthday to Shirley's Kathleen & Chris!
I'm not sure of the day but I know it's this month and I hope it will be
a wonderful day!  :-)

I have seen a lot of posts about this nursing pillow.  Can anyone tell
me where to buy it in Canada?

Does anybody have experience of the EZ-2-Nurse pillows.  It seems that the
inflatable one is available in the UK but not the foam one.  I wondered how
they compared.
Thank you

My girls are 15 months old and they each get an 8 oz sippy cup of whole milk
in the morning and then after dinner.  So, a total of 16 oz of whole mile.
Then I give them 8 oz of 1/4 apple juice 3/4 water twice a day as well.  They
won't drink water by itself unless we are out at ...

My girls will be 7 years old next month. I think I am about ready for
dishing out allowances. I know they are. Any advice much appreciated.
How much do you give (if any)? Is it contingent on anything (chores,
behavior)? If so, do you keep charts or anything? What can they do with

Well, it's the new year and it's time to update the birthdays.  So,
anyone who didn't get a greeting last year or is new to the group, and
would like a birthday greeting, either post the information to this
thread or email me (just take out "GoAwayWorm" from my address).
