    @Jkp7749 Congratulations on those beautiful baby girls! I gasped out loud (in a quiet lab) at how adorable they are! I'm sorry things have been rough over the past couple of weeks. That all sounds really difficult, and I hope things get easier on you soon. You've got this! Glad you checked in :)

    @Jens_Hoes What a rollercoaster of a day! I hope the car issues get resolved and the rest of the day is smooth sailing. Your work shower looks adorable, and I don't think I knew the name you picked--it's so beautiful! <3
  • @Jkp7749 they are adorable!! Also hope everything's calms down a bit for you!! 
  • @Jkp7749 Those babes are so adorable! What a few crappy weeks it's been though. I really hope you get an upswing soon!

    @Jens_Hoes What a great baby shower! Love the name, I didn't know what name you had gone with!
  • @Jkp7749 Im glad your taking it all in stride. So sorry to hear about the health issues. I remember mastitis and it was no joke. Hoping your little ones keep getting big and strong! 
    @Jens_Hoes gorgeous photos and cute pup! Sorry about the car and the having to pee! Hope things start to turn up for your with the car.
  • I love A+A swaddles but mostly just for a lightweight blanket, I suck at swaddling and need the Velcro ones.

  • @Jkp7749 so glad to see you here again! Im glad the delivery itself went really well but sorry to hear about everything that followed. Mastitis is truly awful.  I hope youre all better or on the mend now and that its easy going from here on!


  • @Jkp7749 - Sounds like you've had a wild ride! Hope everything settles down and goes smoothly from here on out! 

    @Raineydays86 - Hope you are feeling better after your surgery and I hope you get to enjoy your alone time for a couple weeks! It's always so hard having people in your home that long, even if they are there to help!

    @Jkp7749 I'm sorry to hear y'all had such a rough start! I hope all of your girls stay healthy and out if the hospital and no more mastitis for you! Hopefully now you can just enjoy some newborn bliss. Congratulations on your twin girls. Glad to hear you're hanging in there mama!

    @RainyDays86 I'm glad you get some peace and quiet. That's important for recovery and gearing up for a baby!

    Jkp7749, my thoughts and prayers are with you! I hope that those babies stay out of the hospital and that you get some rest and can enjoy your new loves without any more worries. 

    @jens_hoes, that cake is beautiful!

    @RainyDays86, I hope you have a relaxing few weeks before baby arrives! I'm an introvert, too, and while I appreciate family helping me the past week, it was so nice to be home alone today. Even DH was out :)

  • @Jkp7749 wow! Glad things are settling down. I hope everyone stays healthy for a bit. Beautiful girls! 

    @Jens_Hoes sorry about your car! Glad you had a nice work shower. Love the name you chose! 
  • @kns1988 praying Jay's temp goes back up! Sorry that it's so stressful.
  • mcvgalmcvgal member
    @kns1988 I hope his temp starts rising. Have you tried putting him in a onesie and a sleeper, with a hat? Sometimes they just need extra clothing to maintain temp or warm up.

  • @kns1988 +1 on the well wishes for little Jay!

    We had our car seats installed last week and the CHP officer said to take out my seat protector. Well, it's thin fabric and covers the entire bench from dog hair & I was hoping to keep it in for double duty dog AND baby stain protection. Do you think I could put it back in?? All the protectors I've seen made specifically for car seats are only under the car seat but I want the whole bench protected!!

  • @sweaterboots Why did he say to take it out?? We have one under our carseats, I don't see how one across the whole bench is different, but I'd worry about why he said to remove it.
    @starphish18 Jealous of your cleaning help. Have that second ice cream sandwich!
  • @starphish18 for sure have the second ice cream sandwich! That's awesome your parents are there helping. 
  • @sweaterboots I apologize in advance, I'm far too passionate about car seats. A true car seat tech would never install your seat for you, but rather teach you how to install it. What seat do you have? Most don't allow a protector underneath as they mask bad installs. Whats your seat protector like? Could you do it just beside the car seat?

  • @kns1988 that's great news! Glad his temp went back up. What a special moment to watch them bond and interact. 
  • @kns1988 so glad to hear it!! Keep that squishy baby at home :) Hope things continue to go well!!
  • @nda_roxybabe it was California Highway Patrol, she installed the first with us watching, then had us install the second base in my car. Safety is definitely number one so if it's true then we will give it away.

    @pshaortao@jayandaplusMy upholstery is very light and with 2 dogs I just really really wanted the whole seat protected if possible. I can't seem to find a branded car-seat cover that isn't only covering the small portion of the seat where the car seat is. :( We got the Chico Keyfit 360. The cover is a thin fabric with holes for the buckles, not a thick rubber pad. It looks thick in this picture but the quilting is stitched, it's not filled with thick batting or anything.

  • I think most car seat protectors are a no go, @sweaterboots. Generally, there shouldn't be anything between the car seat and the seat of the car. If I remember, there's only one or two brands that allow you to use their own brands of protectors, maybe Britax and/or Diono?

  • Hm... this whole "no carseat protector" thing is news to me. Our carseat technician (CPST?) said it was fine.
  • Sigh, idk how you all mobile bump. It's the worst. I can't tag..

    yea i I don't think Chicco allows any seat covers :( one option is if your car manufacturer sells a seat cover, that would be okay. 

    Some car seats allow a thin blanket, towel, or mat.
    Here's the link I use, but the car seat manual will specify as well.

  • @kns1988 I'm so glad Jay's temp went back up! When DD was born, we had the same problem with needing to keep her temp up. I used to put her to bed in a onesie, sleep, swaddle, sleep sack, and a hat (March baby in LA). It sounds like a lot, but it kept her temp up and if I saw she was getting too warm we took a layer off.
