1. Night nurse available second week of May

jenadibi - 3/4/2012 9:46 pm

 I highly recommend Priscilla Havea as a night nurse for
 twins. Her cell phone is 650-267-0156 and email is
 prshavea at yahoo.com. We benefited beyond words from
 having Priscilla come 4 nights/week for the first two
 months after our twins were born. She has amazing
 skills in helping the babies take bottle, sleep, and
 stay asleep for increasingly longer stints. It was
 lovely to wake up in the morning and see the house all
 picked up, laundry done, and dishes put away. Priscilla
 lets her intuition guide her and she seems to have
 plenty when it comes to babies. She also helped me
 relax and see things that I couldn't see otherwise, and
 generally gave me confidence to get through the initial
 period. Thanks to Priscilla, I got solid sleep and was
 able to function during the day, often without a nap. 
 My husband did not have to wake up at all.Feel free to
 contact me with any other
 questions.Jenniferjenadibi at att.net

 Hi all:Have you just been accepted to preschool? Still
 waiting to hear? Excited & nervous at the same time?
 Not to worry: You're right on target, it all sorts out,
 and the transition is more fun, entertaining, and
 supportive with friends!Join the SFPOM Preschool group
 and get together with friends in the same place.
 Florence Bray and I have been running this "pop up"
 group for a couple of years, and our kids are both
 "graduating" out to kindergarten.Looking for one or two
 warm, fun folks to simply plan a park-location
 gathering every other month (or more often, as it suits
 you), welcome folks to the group, start/manage
 conversation threads, etc. Potluck was a big success
 for us :)Please respond to me directly
 (judyldaniel at yahoo.com) if you're interested in
 joining/leading the fun.Happy Preschool! The milestones
 just keep coming.- Judy(Ella travel planning for families; FAQs from
new
 parents; info on upcoming Expert Speaker Sessions;
 various parents' nights out and MORE! Please check it
 out, and don't hesitate to provide your
 feedback!NatashaEditor, Multiplicity Hard copies should
 arrive in your mailboxes (if you elected that option)
 over the next few days.Please

4. NTR: Canadian summer vacation
--------------------------------------------------------
lararajninger - 3/4/2012 6:36 am

 Hi all, We were thinking of taking our 12 year olds to
 Canada this summer. I've never been but thought we
 might go to Vancouver, Whistler, Banff and Lake Louise.
 I have some information on Vancouver (thanks to this
 group). Has anyone been to Whistler, Banff or Lake
 Louise? We have 2 weeks for the trip and thought we'd
 fly into Vancouver and rent a car and drive. I'd also
 heard about the train there, but it seems pricey.Thanks
 in advance for any feedback.-Lara

 I can highly recommend John Levi who has been making
 custom cabinets and entertainment centers for 40 years.
 Works independently so is reasonably priced considering
 the quality he is producing. You can reach him at
 650-867-5584 or johnkath.levi at gmail.com.

 Both my husband and I are designers and a good friend
 of ours has done custom millwork fabrication for years.
 He did the cabinetry for our house, but has quite a bit
 of experience doing commercial work. He's easy to work
 with, has a great eye for detail and his prices are
 reasonable. I highly recommend him. Here's his contact
 info: Gary Kleiman, 415-439-9515 (cell). Gary Kleiman,
 gary at fatheringfieldguide.com (he a great dad and wrote
 a book on fathering hence the email address). good luck
 with your project!

 I love my Bumbleride Indie Twin. It has real wheels and
 a lock to keep wheels straight for jogging. It's one
 of the lighter ones too. I got mine on sale at Lullaby
 Lane in San Bruno.

 We like the Svan Highchair, not cheap, but a great
 investment for us as we have had no issues with it and
 our twin boys stay put in them. They are also easy to
 clean. Maybe you can find some second hand.Good luck!

 Unfortunately, the only thing that has worked for us is
 the Cry-it-out, which doesn't sound like an option for
 you. It was only painful (meaning they cried) for 2-3
 nights and then began to self soothe on their own. 
 They are great sleepers still at 2.5 years old. My
 friend with twins had to separate hers since one always
 woke the other. I think you may want to try the pack
 and play and try to CIO for a couple of nights. 
 Everyone I know that has let their kids sleep with them
 has had trouble getting them out of their bed. Good
 luck!

 My advice is get a postpartum night doula, ours was an
 angel.During the postpartum period getting a break is
 extremely important and if you don't have one doula
 yet, I'll recommend Cassia.I'm not sure if she is
 available, but you can contact her directly:Cassia415
