little girl.  Today is Sunday-her last BM was Tuesday night.  My little boy

was *really* lokking forward to this summer because I figured that my boys
would be old enough to start playing with fingerpaint, crayons, etc. and so
on.  But they don't seem to be getting it:  either the ...

Hello. I am in my 21st week of pregnancy W/ twins. My doctor just informed
me that I will be put on bed rest at 24 weeks. He said this is standard
practice,but I have many friends w/ twins that have not had bed rest until

I was wondering if some of you have been thru the
Chicken Pox with the kids and if there is any homemade

Desperate in Holland,

So, anyone else starting kindergarten this fall??  Keeping them in the same
class, or separating?  Public or private school?  When do you start and what is

Am I doing something wrong?!?

I personally have enjoyed this group for going on 10 years (yeah, mine will
be 9.5 on Friday - time does go fast).  Anyhow, when I read opinions that's
fine, when I read remarks, that's fine, but when you guys start to use "4
letter words" because you can't remember any other words ...

I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown all morning ... getting
everything ready.  But it was well worth it!  We had so much fun~~~
We had makeovers upon arrival.  Then they played for a bit while we got
sandwiches ready for them to use cookie cutters with.  So, we had ...

...seriously.  I mean it.  I'm out of ideas.
Both Chris and Alex (15mos old) are climbers.   The world is one big jungle

Hello to those of you who still remember me... :-D
I've been away for a long time & rarely check this board anymore, but I felt
nostalgic and wanted to see who was still around!  My twins, Bryan and
Emily, turned 10 last week *THUD*.  Can you believe it??  They're going into

I have struggled for many months to get my twin boys to nap--*in* their
cribs (as opposed to in the moving car, in the moving stroller, in my arms,
etc.), and *at* the same time (as opposed to one waking up right when I
finally get the second one to sleep).  Not only do they need ...

After 8 days of countless trips to the potty, many, many pee accidents,
a few poo accidents, many pairs of cotton underwear, laundry, Spot Shot,
Swiffer Wet Jet, M&Ms, Canadian Smarties (not the American kind), the
twins are day-trained and they pretty much did it themselves.  I ...
