1. Splitting your twins up for a weekend trip (or longer)?
--------------------------------------------------------
nodelmonkey - 11/30/2012 12:18 am

 Tomorrow I'm headed for a long weekend away with one of
 my girls, off to meet my new niece who was born on
 Halloween. I'm very excited to travel with ONE BABY
 (how relaxing?!) but also somewhat sad to leave my
 other daughter. Granted she gets to stay home and have
 "special time" with Papa and Nana (my mom who flew in
 to help out since my hubby will be traveling for work
 part of the time I'm away), I'm still sad to leave her.
 I also worry that, while she's had time away from me
 before, she hasn't had more than a few hours away from
 her sister ever. Have any of you split up your babes
 for an extended period before and how did it go? Can
 you reassure me all will be well? (I think this will be
 a good thing for them and us long term, just a bit
 worried about the short term of it all)

2. POM Lending Library
--------------------------------------------------------
nataliasha2004 - 11/29/2012 5:04 pm

 (I'm on a ROLL!!)Another thought I had... between
 everyone in our membership, I'm sure we have an
 absolutely amazing ollection of
 pregnancy/birth/multiples/parenting books. Would it
 be helpful to collect them all in once place (at least
 VIRTUALLY, if not physically) so as to benefit our
 members? If so, any volunteers?I think it could save
 our members a lot of time/trouble if they could just
 borrow useful books, rather than buy them (there are so
 many OTHER things out there to buy, after all!) Plus,
 so many of them are really only used for a relatively
 limited time....Thoughts? Feedback? Volunteers?? 
 *hint, hint, beg*

 This is a great idea! Sorry, can't volunteer any space
 - I am going to get rid of all my books soon because I
 am burried in clutter with a big family and many
 books/toys. Would love to donate them to the Club.

4. (Speaking of) What to Wear...
--------------------------------------------------------
nataliasha2004 - 11/29/2012 4:55 pm

 What do our members think about the possibility of
 starting up a Maternity Clothes Closet, or at least a
 Maternity Formalwear Closet?I imagine many of us had
 cause to wear something ressy at least once during our
 pregnancies, and most of those dresses probably have
 LOTS of life left in them yet. Your thoughts? Anyone
 volunteer to be a Closet Keeper for this? I have one
 dress, w/ accessories, I can donate to start us off...

7. where to feed kids?
--------------------------------------------------------
bhavna12 - 11/29/2012 9:52 am

 Currently, we are feeding both kids in their fisher
 price rocker/sleepers at my parents home. We are
 looking for something for our condo as well (not as
 much space), any suggestions for something not as big
 and bulky that we can buy for the both of them. Our
 twins are 3 months old. Beginning to think about
 transition back to our condo and what we should take
 and leave behind at my parents.

 in case anyone is interested, here is the
 rocker/sleeper we purchased.

 great and love the tilting features but you definitely
 need space to store and keep 2 rocker/sleepers which is
 why we are looking for a more compact solution to feed
 the kids in.

 I got some xl stuff from h&m that worked through the
 end. I think some of the clothes I wore as tops were
 meant to be dresses though :). Good luck!

 I was 55" around at 38.5 weeks. At the end, I wore my
 brother-in-law's XXL plaid flannel shirts and sweaters
 with maternity pants below the tummy. For something
 nicer, I would wear black maternity pants under the
 belly and an XL black maternity shirt and then a
 glittery cardigan sweater.

 In the last trimester I bought a few things on sale at
 gap that were a size up. I just alternated between the
 same two long sleeve shirts for the last few months. I
 know someone who got non-maternity skirts and dresses
 at Cotton Basics, that she was able to wear through her
 entire twin pregnancy, and afterwards too.

 Old Navy-I got a cute maternity dress there that was
 stretchy so fit til the end and tons of basics like
 tank tops, ts, pants for cheap. I also wore some of
 their plus size tops at the end and some XL men's T's
 that my husband had. I splurged on a couple dresses at
 Nest on Divisadero when I thought I would be working
 longer but only ended up wearing one of them at our
 baby shower because I ended up leaving work. It was
 nice to feel all dressed up on my special day but I'm
 not sure it was worth the cost.

 My parents bought me some 4x mens tshirts and I had XXL
 pajama pants, along with one or two pairs of HUGE
 maternity pants. I never did the comparison, though,
 of how big I would have been for a singleton, so maybe
 my trips didn't take up as much room as your twins are!
 Keep them in there and cooking, even if you have to
 wear a snuggie all day.

 Thanks for all the ideas! I am going to try to few of
 your ideas tomorrow. If all else fails, I do have 2
 Giants snuggies that aren't sounding so bad right about
 now. :)

 Yes.... dress for COMFORT at this stage! I had a
 couple of pieces from Target that were super comfy and
 got a LOT of wear. And a few loose A-line dresses
 that were 2 - 3X, etc. This kind of makes me wonder
 whether POM needs a Maternity Clothes Closet (or at
 least, a formal-wear maternity clothes closet...) 
 Hmmm. Perhaps I'll post that separately, and see if
 anyone bites.
