1. 2yo early riser

 One of my boys (25m) has been waking up at 5:30 for the
 past 3 weeks. He has always been an earlier riser than
 the rest of us, but we are greatly missing our prior
 6:30 wake-ups. Any tips on keeping toddlers in bed in
 the AMs? Bedtime is 7-7:30. We've tried an earlier
 bedtime, later bedtime, and cry-it-out for 3d (I know
 that's very controversial, but we did sleep train
 previously and they have always been good
 sleepers/nappers since).He's not teething/sick, and
 there have been no big changes
 (school/caregiver/schedule, etc) in our lives. We have
 heavy blinds, so the room is dark. I am at a loss as
 to what's causing this sudden change in sleep
 patterns.I know some kids are simply early risers, but
 this seems a bit excessive, and I can see that he's
 tired during the day, and he's waking up his brother
 who needs a bit more sleep. Have any of you experienced
 this, and how did you deal with it?Thank you!

 I was diagnosed with GD three weeks ago (week 26) and
 since then I have mostly lost weight. I checked this
 morning and I am up exactly one pound since week 25 (I
 will be 29w tomorrow). I called the nurses at my OB
 and they didn't seem particularly concerned--
 "everybody loses weight on the GD diet at first"-- but
 I have only gained 30 lbs so far and am worried that my
 babies will be underweight if I can't keep up with the
 recommended weight gain (I think I am supposed to gain
 at least another 10 lbs). Did anyone else stop gaining
 weight in the 3rd trimester, either due to the GD diet
 or for any other reason? And did your babies turn out
 healthy? I want huge, fat, healthy twins!
