1. Time to wean?
--------------------------------------------------------
rinnigan - 2/22/2012 10:44 pm

 My boys just turned 1, and I've managed to keep
 breastfeeding up until now. I want to keep nursing, but
 they're 1! It's time to wean, isn't it?I'd love to hear
 from other moms who have recently weaned. When did you
 stop? Did you feel you stopped from pressure (people
 saying "you're STILL breastfeeding?!") or was it just
 the right time? How did you know it was the right
 time?BTW, I am working 4 days a week and the idea of
 not carrying a pump with me everywhere is mighty
 appealing... but losing cuddle time with my boys is
 not.

 Hi, can you please let me know if you have a favorite
 kid friendly place to stay in Hawaii. I need to book a
 place for us in April. My twins are 7 years old. We
 don't know any of the islands so any information you
 can share is greatly appreciated!

 Thank you for all the encouragement and for sharing
 your stories. We are now reeling from a 29 week
 ultrasound showing that one baby has enlarged brain
 ventricles - scary, scary. MRI later this week. 
 Definitely struggling to stay positive, but trying.

 I'm sure this has been asked but a quick skim of the
 archives and I can't find anything...

 We also have 2 girls, but found the Baby Bjorns with
 the removable potty part GREAT for at home. The base
 part was sturdy and didn't slide around, and it was
 easy to lift out the insert for emptying/rinsing, etc. 
 DEFINITELY plan on getting 2, for simultaneous use.We
 had (still have) a second set of the one-piece Baby
 Bjorns that live in the car for going
 out/driving/emergencies, but those are handy cause they
 nest and take up less space. (We keep a garbage bag
 handy for wrapping them up when needed, along with a
 bag of gear to facilitate that process on the road: TP
 (and a ziploc to throw it in after, um, use), paper
 towel, wipes, etc. and a big bottle of water for
 rinsing them out so the car doesn't get smelly.) Sure
 beats stopping to change diapers!Good luck to you with
 potty-training!

 Congrats to you! Parenting is FULL of surprises, and
 this won't be the last!! There's always SOMETHING, I
 think, that we might like to happen a little
 differently than it does... but (I've found) very
 often - we learn in retrospect how perfectly the
 unexpected actually worked out. Often the universe
 somehow seems to know things we don't... I think
 sometimes, too, there's a lot of good to be found in
 encountering the un- (or LESS) expected, because then
 we bring fewer preconceptions to it, and can be more
 honestly open to it. I can't remember who said it, but
 I've always like the quote, "That which was the least
 expected was all the more highly esteemed" - and
 perhaps that will wind up being the case for you! At
 least now you have some time to warm up to the idea.In
 our case, we wanted it to be a surprise - but somehow
 I felt PRETTY SURE we were having boys, or 1 of each. 
 Somehow the thought of 2 girls never occurred to either
 of us... so THAT was a surprise - but we couldn't have
 been more delighted (then, or now) with the 2 little
 people that we got! They are who they are, right from
 the get-go, and it's amazing to watch them develop &
 grow, as unique individuals. I guess you're getting to
 start earlier than we did! Good luck to you, with
 everything! : )

 Congratulations on your twins! Are you still looking
 for some help? My sister is a Montessori-trained
 teacher who is currently looking for a nanny position. 
 She's had twin experience helping me with my twins
 too.

 Hi there,I've heard good things about the Maclaren Twin
 Techno. How many months did you have to wait before the
 twins could comfortably ride in the side-by-side
 stroller?Thanks!

 We had a decidely NOT lightweight Urban Buggy (or
 something like that) which was awesome as an ATV... 
 but also picked up a small, lightweight, super
 collapsible double Jeep Double Stroller, for short
 jaunts, and it was great for that. No cupholders,
 cause it's an umbrella style - but the lightness
