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.
