1) What does your screen name mean and where are you located (if you want to share)?
My last name, first initial (lame but useful), I am located in VA


2) One of your favorite moments and one of your most challenging moments of motherhood or fatherhood so far?
Favorite moment: Henry's first smile because he was home alone with me when he did it. Also, the first time Jacob said Dog, and when I walk into a room and both race to see who can get me first. I think I love all of it. Most Challenging: being away for travel, I really miss my guys when I am away.

3) What do you do for you right now?

Read, workout, wish I could knit hats with food on top.

 

Hi Everyone
1) My screen name is a combination of furry friends I have had since I was a child
2) My biggest challenge is different temperaments
3) I recently purchased a jogging stroller so I now RUN alot. It feels great.

 

1. I have been a mommy to 3 cats plus one angel cat for many years. My oldest kitty is 16. I am in located in New England.

2. My biggest challenge has been trying to get the house cleaned up after my DH/the cats trashed it while I was on bedrest/hospitalized/in the NICU. Like he didn't clean up cat vomit from the kitchen floor and left it stuck there for months type of mess....I could go on and on. My kids are almost 8 months old and the house is still not fully cleaned.

3. I love the way DD giggles while petting the kitty. And while she jumps in her jumperoo. And DS's big smile he gives me every morning when I wake up--I open my eyes, and there he is in his PNP looking right at me and smiles the biggest smile

4. I am putting the kids in daycare 1-2 days a week so I can WAHM part-time. And I have invested some funds in getting my own business put together so I am very exicted and hope to have things up and running within a couple of weeks. And now that DS sits up, I think he will have fun in daycare, and once DD sits up she will too! So it's a win-win situation.

 

Hey there!

1. I'm a freelance writer in my spare (ha!) time.

2. My babes are 8 weeks old. My first son was born way early and spent some time in the NICU after I developed severe pre-eclampsia. Based on "expert" advice, I was terrified throughout my whole pregnancy that the twins were going to be born earlier and I was going to be sicker. Alas, they were born several weeks later and had no NICU time. I felt like a rock star!

3. Me time? Bwa ha ha ha. Ask me again after I've had more than 2 consecutive hours of sleep.

1. I am Ann and in Dutch (actually Flemish) the -eke suffix is used to indicate something or someone little or sweet. Not that I'm particularly little or sweet, but the username Ann was already in use.
2. Their smiling faces, their soft skin, their eagerness to explore the world on the one hand and their tight grip to me on the other, their cuddles during night time feedings.
3. NICU, reflux, colic, witching hours, PPD.
4. Baking muffins or cupcakes when I get the chance, but it's been a long time since I've done so.

 

My husband created our account by combining team + our last name, which is something he picked up from our friends who call us Team Turner. We live at the beach in Los Angeles.

I love their smiles and belly laughs, constant chatter, and nursing. I also love how having little ones puts everything else into perspective. Oh, and I love that there are two (I was really worried about that at first).

We've struggled with reflux and non-napping with one of our girls. And I had to have breast surgery for an abscess when they were 6 weeks old. Ugh.

I play on Facebook and twinstuff, I get together with friends, especially from our parents of multiples group, for girls nights, I cook (taught myself how to while on maternity leave), and I volunteer on the executive board of our parents of multiples group. I also love to snap photos, which has turned into a fulfilling hobby. My husband and I try to go on date nights when our parents visit. We'd love to go more but we don't have a lot of money for babysitters right now.

1. My screen name is the first letter of the boys' names.

2) I love how they watch my face as I talk, and I can see the wheels turning. I love how they try and talk too, and their faces are so animated as they make different sounds. I can tell they really want to express something, and it's just so adorable. I also love it when they laugh at or with each other. There is no sweeter sound in the whole world. And recently they started 'dancing' every time they hear music, including the ring tone on my phone. They basically just bob their whole bodies any time they hear music. So cute. I could go on and on!

Most challenging moments: Early on the boys had feeding problems and were diagnosed with failure to thrive. They could never fill themselves up and seemed to never sleep. I also had PDP. That was just a scary, difficult time. When people say, don't you miss the early baby stage I think, NO! I don't! haha.

3) I garden and write and hang out with friends.

 

1) What does your screen name mean and where are you located (if you want to share)?
Deyra - Thats my name ........ no meaning other than that : ) Located in the GTA - Toronto
2) One of your favorite moments
Mornings - the twins are so happy and full of love and joy!
And showers ....... they each love to cuddle up and stay completely still while i sing to them in the shower.

most challenging moments
Probably when Danae had her first heart procedure. It was terrifying and i felt completely powerless and helpless.

3) What do you do for you right now?
Once the twins go down for bed - I like to sit out on the front porch and have a glass of wine, breathe - and reflect on everything that I have to be grateful for.

 

Ha ha! I figured out out how to change my user name... so, my prior post needs some update.

Former name: DblStuffOreo.

New name: Arizona Twins because I've got twins in Arizona. My old user name didn't fit any more!

 

1) What does your screen name mean and where are you located (if you want to share)?

Years ago while in college I was trying to set up a hotmail account and I went through a ton of usernames that were already taken. I like snow and I like pumpkins... SnowPumpkin was available. I'm in Harrisburg, PA.

2) One of your favorite moments and one of your most challenging moments of motherhood or fatherhood so far?

Favorite - Athan's little tiny head chicken-pecking me to nurse in the hospital in the middle of the night. Still one of my sweetest memories.

Most challenging - The weeks of Claire's colic and their 6:00 meltdowns in the beginning AND dealing with the in-laws.

3) What do you do for you right now?

I go to work! Ha! Work has been my "me-time" but that will soon end as I put in my notice last week and will be a SAHM as of August. So I have to find new "me-time".

 

1) What does your screen name mean and where are you located (if you want to share)? My name - Amy McHaney = the amymc part and 72 is the year I was born
2) One of your favorite moments and one of your most challenging moments of motherhood or fatherhood so far? Favorite moment with the twins was when I found out we were having twins at 8 weeks (not that there are not millions of great moments) - I had always thought it would be fun to have twins and had always hoped that there were two with my first ultrasound with my previous two children. I could hardly believe it when there were actually two babies in there! I go over that moment in my mind all the time.
3) What do you do for you right now? I go to the gym every day. Because I like to exercise and because they provide two hours of babysitting time in the nursery each day. And I use every minute of that two hours, even if I'm sitting in the locker room watching HGTV because I'm done with my workout and shower.
