2. Reminder: New and Expectant Parents Group Meeting
--------------------------------------------------------
lmcdowell - 4/28/2015 7:00 am

 Meetings are held the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each
 month, from 1-2:30pm. Meetings are held at Calvary
 Presbyterian Church at 2515 Fillmore Street (between
 Pacific and Jackson). Enter the church to the right of
 the main entrance with all the stairs, which has a ramp
 that will lead to double doors. Enter and you'll see an
 elevator straight ahead. Take the elevator to the 3rd
 floor, exit and walk all the way back past the
 bathrooms to the Nursery. Parking: There is 2-hour
 street parking on neighboring streets and metered
 parking on Fillmore (hit or miss, but I can usually
 find a spot within 10 minutes). There is a parking
 garage (CPMC garage) on Clay between Webster and
 Buchanan in case you can't find parking elsewhere. It's
 a few blocks away but it's an option. We welcome all
 expecting and new parents with multiples under one year
 of age. Come alone, with your partner, and/or your
 babies. You may also bring the helping hands of
 friends, nannies, and grandparents. Should you run out
 of helping hands we have many more ready to help out.
 The New and Expectant Parents Group is an ideal place
 to gain invaluable twin parenting advice, an
 opportunity to ask many questions, to see how other
 parents cope with more than one baby, a place to laugh,
 to cry, to rejoice, and to share proud and scary
 moments in our step-by-step journey into parenthood of
 multiples. You must be a member to attend regularly.
 Prospective members may attend one meeting before
 joining.You can contact the moderator at

 When our twins were 13 months we flew on Delta to
 Michigan. We did the square configuration with the car
 seats in the center seats and parents at the windows. I
 vaguely remember reading on Delta's website that car
 seats in the center was required but don't quote me. It
 would be worth checking with the policy of whichever
 airline you end up flying. If you do 3 seats (2 adults,
 1 car seat), as a previous poster mentioned, it's a
 nice relief to not have to hold a baby the whole time,
 plus you can all be in one row. Being near the other is
 really helpful in case you have to swap of toys or hand
 supplies back and forth. As for tips, you may have
 heard this before but during takeoff and landing give
 your babies a bottle or paci. The sucking helps with
 ear pressure regulation. New toys, books, or
 interesting things to look at preloaded onto your phone
 or iPad is nice to have to stave off fussing and
 crying.For our first flight, we actually put together
 little care packages in ziplock bags for the people in
 the rows around us. We anticipated lots of screaming
 and crying (which fortunately was not the case) and
 figured a little bribe would hurt. I think I put in
 some sweets, herbal tea bags, and earplugs.

 Thanks, Lauren!! I think you would be a great volunteer
 organizer! I was leaning toward a weekend in October,
 maybe Oct 8-10. How does that sound? When we have a
 couple additional positions filled, I'll schedule a
 committee meeting.
