 I think you're doing a great job getting out! That's
 basically what I still do and mine are 10 months now. I
 know there are some classes at Sprout on union st and
 temple Emanuel offers free groups (singing, playing,
 etc) Mondays and Fridays.

 Mine are 10 months and success looks like a walk and
 sometimes we get to a park and I take them out and put
 them on a blanket.

 I've just started doing a baby boot camp in Golden Gate
 Park with my 6 1/2 month triplets. I'm really enjoying
 the chance to talk to other moms, as like you, I mostly
 stick to going for walks (I've actually never risked
 taking all three of them to a store) and don't have
 much interaction with adults otherwise. It's nice,
 though a pretty tough workout! Do you do the swim class
 with the babies by yourself? I'd love to find one that
 didn't require an adult per baby.

 This makes me feel much better, thank you! I was
 feeling like the babies were missing out on some
 important interaction. It seems like when we go out
 into the world they're wide eyed and a bit overwhelmed
 (as is their mother). I guess that could be the fact
 that everything is so new? I know we're not supposed to
 compare, but I see my friends with singletons going to
 play groups, music class, mama and me yoga and I've
 wondered if other twin mama's are able to make to these
 classes and how they manage the two. Although, now that
 the babies are rolling like crazy I feel like it makes
 our prospects a little more challenging too. :) At
 least they always have each other for entertainment.
 Wow caitlingaudet, I commend you! We are going to La
 Petit Baleen for swimming but it is 1 adult to 1 baby.
 My husband and I go together. Perhaps they offer a
 helper for the swim classes or have some suggestions?
 What's a mama of three to do?! Also, I haven't taken
 them both to the grocery store either.

Topic: Travel, time change and babies' schedule

 We are flying east for 6 days so there will be a 3 hour time
 difference. Is it best...

 Hello mommy's, have a friend that would like a

 Curious why she's only considering UCSF? I had a
 horrific experience with IUI there. Tooo many interns,
 inaccessible nurses with poor communication skills,
 difficult sxheduling.When I went for IVF, I went
 straight to one of the top experts in the country - Dr
 Zouves - who's in Foster City (goivf.com). I know lots
 of people who after several failed cycles end up with
 Dr Z. My theory is why bother with second rate docs
 when the best is so accessible. IVF really is only a
 25% chance in the best case, but you can do things to
 increase it 5-10%

 To elaborate on my experience: I had a wonderful
 experience with Dr. Fujimoto (not just an RE but he and
 his wife also went through IVF) and the entire UCSF
 team which resulted in the birth of my son and
 daughter. The doctors and staff were patient, kind,
 open and honest about the options that I had and the
 order in which they recommend I exercise them. I would
 not hesitate to recommend them to my best friend or use
 them again if I wanted a third.

Topic: Vaginal delivery anyone?

 I was lucky to deliver my twins vaginally. The labor and
 delivery was very quick,...

 I had vaginal delivery without epidural (di/di,
 vertex/transverse) at 39 weeks; at St. Luke's with Dr.
 Laura Norrell (she trained at UCSF). Highly recommend
 her if you get past 36 weeks (since St. Luke's doesn't
 have a NICU). I had most of my prenatal care at UCSF,
 assuming I'd have the babies there, i.e., that I
 wouldn't get past 36 weeks and might need a NICU. 
 After 36 weeks, I changed OBs to Dr. Norrell. Glad I
 did.
