Tanya, I cant believe what a big smile Carly has.. how old is she?
Jenn, I love the pic of LG sticking her fingers in a friend's face... too cute!!
Crecia, what a cutie you have! Remind me how old?
And DH and I are done having babies... he will be getting a vasectomy in the next couple of months, but I must admit we have been "playing" without protection since the babies... I need to be careful, with BFing, I wont know when I am supposed to be ovulating, although BF lessens your chances, it can still happen!

Kelli, at my biggest, I was 54 inches around.... now I was a size 14/16 before, but that is a ridiculous girth... so my skin above teh section incision is pretty nasty... is that where yours is? ewwww... i keep wondering how in the world DH is still attracted to me, but with boobs like mine, it does not hurt! Kelli, I can not wait to learn some tips from you.. it seems like you have a schedule and everything is under control.. I admire you!

Hello ladies Tanya your daughter is so cute and I just love her kissable cheeks. I'm always kissing on my son big cheeks.
Kelli your babies are so cute and I love the pacifeeder I think that is so neat. I have never heard or seen anything like that and glad to hear you have your routine down pack with the babies.
I also have a flabby belly. I had a C-Section so my stomach looks like a tire wrap around my mid secton. This was my first C-Section with my TR baby. Had my other 3 sons all natural no meds or epidural or anything. I still have not ever had an epidural cause with Lil Tafuma they had to put me totaly asleep. I do want more babies though.

Ethan spits up alot has from birth. It's slowly getting better. Dr says once he's off the formula and eating more table food it shoud get better. He assures me he won't go to school spitting up. LOL
I hate my stomach now. I have the extra skin where I stretched so much. I'm gonna loose the weight I need to then dh said we would talk about a tummy tuck. We shall see.
I can't hold all 3 of them anymore their too big but I can still hold 2, I can be holding 1 and pick another one up. LOL
Logan and Madison are on the floor right now laughing at eachother and Ethan is trying to get the kitty, little does he know that kitty moves much faster. lol

Oh I get the do trips run in your family all the time. My answer to that is, they will soon. LOL I actually had a women chase me down the mall to ask me if I was Bf all of them. I had a lot of stupid ppl that day so I turned and looked at her and said I would but I only have 2 breast can I borrow one of yours? LOL I also get the how I never get any sleep and when I tell them they sleep 12 hrs a night I get this look as if they don't believe me! Course all the "better you than me", "boy, you sure have your hands full", "are they all yours", "did you mean to have that many", the list goes on and on. That's why I've started being rude.

ROTFL - Jenn I never would have pegged you for a b*tch!
I've got a "ask all you want but don't touch" policy. I don't know many people immediately reach in to grab a finger or touch. That annoys me. Germs, new baby and besides - who wants a total stranger pawing all over their child, especially a newborn or young baby? REALLY!
Kelli - I must give off the vibe of "don't mess with my baby" because most people ask her age and tell me how cute she is - no advice, no personal questions...nothing. Then again, I've been known to be a bi*#h...
WOW Kelli - I can't believe people can be so pushy or rude. That's sad. I always enjoying peeking if they are covered up but I can't imagine arguing with their own mother about being ID or frat. I heard a lady at cheerleading ask a mom of twins if they were natural or IVF. The mom looked at her and said "As natural as any child is I suppose!" and I had to hide my smile! I was completely appalled she even asked! HOW RUDE!

They really started interacting with eachother in the last month to 6 wks. Before that it was just another baby. lol
Michelle if there's anything I can help you with email me: kelliid*mw.net
Oh I get stopped all the time you wouldn't believe some of the stupid things ppl say to me. I'm pretty much over it and ignore them for the most part but there are times I will turn around and say something rude or smart too them! Ppl just need to realize they are just 3 babies that happened to be born on the same day. I get ppl arguing with me about if they are ID or fraternal.

I've never heard of a pacifeeder - that is awsome and developed by the mother of multiples no doubt!
Lydia Grace sleeps about 11 hours about 80% of the time which is just fine with me. We are having such a great time with her!
For those still waiting - welcome! Everyone is welcome here but this is definitely a place for baby-bragging.
Michelle - I have that baby bulge that won't quit no matter how many crunches I do! Sometimes I think I still look 4 months pregnant only now the bump is empty! If you're looking for a shaper try Lane Bryant - I know they have a ton.

Crecia - I don't know how to post pictures here. I go to the album - and i use to post pictures - and it tells me my password is wrong?
Michelle and Kelli - I'm in awe of both of you. I know you both must hear a million times "I don't know how you do it" but I say that in completely inspired way. I'm a "multiples magnet" too. When I see twins, trip in a mall or something I have to look..they are like too good to pass up sneaking a peek.
I'm digusted with my stomach. I've even considered a tummy tuck. I've got this roll - that is just flabby skin. It's disgusting and I don't think a million years of situps will get rid of it! I've never been skinny, with my first I weighed 129 when I got pg. I've never been less than 155 since having kids. I'd love to get back to the 140's but how to lose that nasty extra skin? No clue..
Carly is completely formula-fed. I really wanted to nurse, but it was such a stuggle for me. Nobody in my family nurses and wasn't overly supportive. I don't have any guilt but I wish I had been succesful. Formula is so expensive!

Kelli, wow! I love those pacifeeders! Since I am nursing both babies, sometimes it is a struggle to make them both happy, I have been pumping for a while and always pump before bed, since we give them a bottle of formula for their first nighttime feeding, so I pump and keep a bottle by the bed at night in case they wake up at the same time, DH can give one a bottle. Kelli, how long before they really start recognizing each other and entertaining each other? I dont really think Jake and Annabelle know that each other are there... they know the other one cries and lately I think that when Annabelle cries alot (she is more high maintenace than Jake), Jake seems to get a bit upset hearing her. It's not really hard, taking care of them, just alot different than when I had one at a time, I wouldn't change it for the world! Kelli, I can not imagine how many times you must get stopped when you go out.. I get stopped all the time with two. I am babbling... I would love to learn some more tips from you Kelli... as time goes on, I could use them. Im so gonna miss spending all day with them!

Michelle honestly I would hold all 3 of them. I had help here from the time they were 5 wks old till they were about 6 months old so there was always an extra set of hands. It gets better I promise. Now they were more content playing with eachother and I just sit back in aww and watch.
Jen, Since they are sleeping at least 10 hrs a night I have tons of energy. I have a schedule and we stick to it. I have a schedule for me too of how things go when they are napping, playing and such. DH makes formula after they go to bed. I do a load of laundry everyother day and then DH folds it when he gets home from work. I cook dinner almost everynight and then DH and I clean up the kitchen why the trips play before bath. AT bath time I give them bathes and DH dresses them. I feed 2 at night and he feeds 1. During the day I have pacifeeders so no one has to wait for a bottle. I line them up, feed them solids and then give them a pacifeeder. Now that we have a solid routine they are doable. Check back with me when they start walking. LOL
