 Well we just discovered our circuit breakers are
 hazadous and should upgrade! A tree downed a power line
 in front of our house and the surge fried a few things
 including one of our circuits! Anyone know of
 reasonable electrician? Thanks!!!Sent from Yahoo! Mail

 We were in the exact same boat (look at archives about
 CRV and people's opinions). I think there is a way but
 you have to have a specific very narrow booster). 
 Problem people said was as they get older there is a
 lot of pushing.We really really didn't want the
 minivan, so opted for the Mazda5 with older kid on back
 row. I wouldn't say I love it but there are features I
 like (esp. Sliding doors, but still not minivan, and
 super inexpensive). We haven't gone far yet but will
 definitely need the roof case for stuff. We'll probably
 upgrade to Honda Pilot or something once eldest can
 buckle self in.Mind you the eldest just turned 3 so we
 don't need a stroller for her when on short car trips,
 but you could probably swing it with snap n go
 +umbrella, but no way on a triple stroller - the double
 mcclaren will barely fit, double snap n go is fine. If
 you go for citi mini or something larger, you may be
 out of luck. Bring one to dealer to test out. We miss
 the CRV a lot but are happy we got the mazda5. That
 said, if you aren't as nutty as we are about minivans
 and are in the car a lot go for the minivan as we are
 definitely cramped.Good luck and "enjoy" your peaceful
 time now. 3 kids under 3 is a riot.

 We have a 3.5 yo and 5 month old identical twins. We
 considered the Mazda5, but didn't think it would be
 roomy enough for us. Also, the third row of seats is
 right next to the back/almost nonexistent trunk area,
 which I didn't feel too comfortable about. So we got a
 used Sienna. I love how much more room we have (we had
 a Corolla before, so the van seems huge), and how high
 I am. We can change diapers inside, I can nurse in the
 back seat, and our 3.5 yo enjoys sitting in the very
 back, something I was concerned he wouldn't. I think
 it'll serve us well during their younger years, and
 during frequent trips to Oregon to visit family, but
 I'm hopeful that once we don't have as much gear, we
 can downsize.

 Our Sienna has served us well and continues to do so i.
 It's 7 th year. We removed on seat behind the driver
 which makes it great as a foyer! During potty training,
 when kids need to go, they have to go! We kept a potty
 in the foyer and we coukd just pull over! Lots of
 space! Niw that kids are older we flatten one of the 3d
 row seats so we can store their bigger bikes in trunk.
 The entire 3d row can flatten for a huge trunk space if
 needed. I did find that tge 3d can hold 3 booster seats
 but not full car seats. The meddle row would work
 better for that.Good luck! Sent from Yahoo! Mail on

 Thanks for the replies! I know a lot of twin mamas
 leave work in their 20th or so week for various
 reasons. It's really nice to see all these mamas
 working into their 30th week! I'm hoping to work as
 long as I can! Obviously, I know a lot is out of my
 control.

 I worked until the day before my scheduled C-section
 which was at exactly 37 weeks. I would have gone longer
 but had to deliver due to cholestasis.

 I can be a mentor as well in the East Bay area. My
 fraternal boys are turning two next week so things are
 still fresh LOL! I had a mentee in my Chicago MoM's
 group and was a great experience so wanting to pass
 that forward! Can do some days and most evenings.:)
