 My husband and I are taking our 7 week olds on a flight
 to Michigan tomorrow and I am wondering what the
 easiest way to do it is - We were thinking of checking
 our car seats with our suitcases and using the bjorns
 as we walk through the airport. Is this the best way to
 go? We have the car seat covers but do they make it
 okay with the luggage?Thanks for the help.

 That's what I would do. With 7 week'ers you don't need
 car seats and strollers just for the trip from curb to
 airplane. Know, however, that car seats get bounced
 and banged around A LOT when checked, which is akin to
 them being in a car accident. The first time we flew
 with twins they were 14mos old and we took car seats
 and double snap slept most of the
 flight. great previous recommendation to feed at
 takeoff and landing - it's really important for their
 ears. or sterilize your pinky and put it upside down
 in their mouth so you can feel them sucking/wiggle it
 to keep them sucking through takeoff and landing. hope
 you have a good trip!best, jen

 *gets* :)also, just wanted to say, bring some
 lightweight blankets to keep the kids covered,
 particularly if you're going to use the carseats. do
 you have the aden+anais muslin square swaddle blankets?
 they're big, perfect for draping over the carseats to
 keep the kids covered. ...anything to avoid having
 random people in the airport walking up and breathing
 all over your little ones. people won't bug you as
 much when you're wearing them facing you, but when
 they're in their carseats...oy. have a great trip!
 it'll be great! the first flight in a long, beautiful
 lifetime of travel! :)

8. Twins' 1st Birthday - Looking for entertainment recs
--------------------------------------------------------
moneekashah - 11/20/2012 2:02 pm

 Hi all - We are celebrating our b/g twins' first
 birthday next month in our home in SF and we were
 looking for any recs for a balloon artist or face
 painter or any sort of entertainer. We're expecting
 about 10 kids ranging from 2 years old to about 8 years
 old. The only reasonably priced one we could find
 through a Yelp search was Magic Minis.Thanks in
 advance!- Moneeka
