It seems like there are a lot of new faces...and some old ones like me who haven't been posting much and might need to be reintroduced:)
So....
What is your IRL name (if you are okay sharing)?
How many children do you have/are you expecting?
Is there any significance to your LO's name?
For MoM whose babies are already here...your fav baby item?
Re: Introductions?
What is your IRL name (if you are okay sharing)? Lisa
How many children do you have/are you expecting? b/g twins, Jake and Addy
Is there any significance to your LO's name? Jake is named after DH's grandfather, his name is really James, but FIL goes by James, so to avoid confussion we call DS, Jake. Addalynn is a baby name book, we just went through and picked one out that we agreed on, it was either Addalynn or Annabelle; her middle name, Sue, is after my mom's.
For MoM whose babies are already here...your fav baby item? Boppys when they were little, now I would have to say the jogging stroller.
I haven't "officially" introduced myself here yet, so I'm going to take advantage of this post

What is your IRL name (if you are okay sharing)? Kayte (Katie spelled dumb)
How many children do you have/are you expecting? This is our first pg. We're expecting identical boys.
Is there any significance to your LO's name? The boys' middle names will be that of their grandfathers. Ryan Donald and Carter John. I'm not keen on Donald, which is my Dad's name, but he died when I was 17 and I wanted to honour him somehow. John is a 5th generation name in my husband's family so giving Carter that middle name was important to DH.
For MoM whose babies are already here...your fav baby item? Since our babies aren't here yet, I'm going to say MY favourite item is my SNOOGLE!How many children do you have/are you expecting? We have 4 month old twin girls. We have a 2-1/2 year old former foster son who was with us for 18 months. We are still actively involved in his life.

How many children do you have/are you expecting? Expecting boy/girl twins, DS (18) (Yep, I waited this long to have more kids:) and 3 stepkids DD (14), DS (12) and DS (10). Always wanted a big family:-)
Is there any significance to your LO's name? No, we just liked the names Aiden and Zoie ( I always said if I had a girl I would name her Zoie as I thought it was a beautiful name)
For MoM whose babies are already here...your fav baby item? N/A
How many children do you have/are you expecting? We have two 16-month-old boys.
Is there any significance to your LO's name? We had a very hard time finding two names we liked and didn't agree on their names till we were heading to the hospital for my induction. With Alexander and William, we just liked the names, nicknames and the meanings. Alexander's middle name, Emmanuel, is in honor of GFIL, FIL and BIL (all named Manuel but we chose the Hebrew version for his MN, also love the meaning, "God is with us"). William's middle name is Gabriel; I love the name and the meaning (God is my strength) and have always wanted a son named Gabe. A good friend had an m/c and named the baby Gabriel so I didn't feel right about using it as an FN, but thought it fitting as a MN.
For MoM whose babies are already here...your fav baby item?
Many! We loved our FP Open-Top Rainforest cradle swing, our DSNG, our cheap FP bouncy seats, our FP Rainforest Booster Seats and now we love our City Mini and our Step Two Wagon for Two. And they just love books, Duplos, Mega Bloks and PHONES. (Obsessed, really, especially Will.)

Is there any significance to your LO's name? Emma is named after DH's grandmother. Her middle name, Elizabeth, is named after my aunt who died right before my ER. She was the mother of trips (who are now in their 50's) and I made a deal with her at the funeral that if she got us a bfp and there was a girl, I would include her name. James is just a name both DH and I liked and his middle name, Thomas, is after both grandfathers.
For MoM whose babies are already here...your fav baby item? Right now my favorite baby item is the baby gate. It keeps them in and the dog out. Also, night time diapers. We didn't use them last night and had 2 blowouts this morning:)

For MoM whose babies are already here...your fav baby item?
We loved having two Boppies when the kids were smaller! They loved their FP Seahorses (one pink and one blue), FP Crib Soothers (Rainforest for one and Ocean Wonders for the other), and FP bouncy seats (we had one in Rainforest and one in Ocean Wonders)....sounds like FP got a bunch of our money, huh? Right now we are LOVING the Superyard with extension....makes a huge play area to keep the kids corralled while we need to get something done!
They arrived at 36 weeks after PTL and bedrest for 14 weeks.
