Re: Moms of Multiples - February
So here's the question in my house right now -- how are you all thinking about names? Are your multiples names going to be similar in meaning, style, first letter, anagrams, or completely different?
I was originally thinking we were going to go for similar styles and that was the extent of it but then I started reading the Nameberry board and some of those people were so clever -- one that stood out was Alice and Celia, which are anagrams, or Daphne and Laurel which both mean the same thing I think, and I started to wonder if I was under thinking it.
@ruby696 my husband is part Irish and his kids (my steps) have super Irish middle names, Saoirse and Colm. They're really proud of them.
AFM I am happy to report that I successfully have gotten the ball rolling on getting the popcorn off the ceiling in the nursery and making the painting happen this week! It's later than I wanted to be doing this and we have bought absolutely nothing for the babies other than one crib because we've had no place to put anything, because the work wasn't done. MH was insisting that he could do it himself and save the money, which would have been great, but he wasn't doing it and I was getting more and more anxious about it not being done. I feel a lot better with that being settled.
I don't know that much about it but I'm sorry you're worried and I hope the smaller one catches up.
@ruby I had this on and off with my twins. Often it was one was having a growth spurt and by the next scan the other had caught up some. sometimes they would even switch who was measuring bigger.

And thank you for confirming the "big kids" will be able to help. Mine are so excited and I want them to feel like they're a part of things. Being able to help will be so exciting to them.
@wabash15 that was reassuring to me too -- even though I didn't have this issue at the last scan it's nice to be reminded about growth spurts, and I figure I will probably run into it at some point.

@NYTino24 Ahhh, I'm excited to read your updates! I'm sure @ruby696 mentioned it, but we have another triplet mamma here.
- BFP: 3/10/16 — Baby Girl born 11/20/16
TTC#2 April 2019@ruby696 Mine were 3oz apart at my ultrasound today (24+4), and the doc didn't say anything about discordance at all - she was pleased with their sizes and dating. If your doc wasn't worried, I wouldn't be either. Fingers crossed your girl has a growth spurt of her own soon!
@NYTino24 I always love to see you around
@jkr2019 I just want to say that I didn't even realize that identical triplets were possible! Wowza! How do you plan to keep them separate when they're just little squishes? I know elsewhere someone had mentioned painting toenails different colors, but I'm so curious because I had never thought about that!

My friend with twins did 2 mini cribs for her two in order to fit them in separate spaces but take up less total space. She did 2 matching Dream on Me mini cribs, and they were in them from birth thru 18 months. Each footprint is smaller than a pack n play.

Car seats -- right now we don't own a car that's big enough for two car seats plus other kids. I need to buy a minivan soon. Not sure brand/style yet.
What are you thinking?

My current problem is I am outgrowing all my maternity clothes, especially my tops. I do not want to spend several hundred dollars replacing the tops I already bought and will certainly never wear again! I am cranky about this.
ETA: add words
The painting of the nursery should be done tomorrow thank goodness. What do you all think about this laundry hamper? I think we are going to do a loosely safari theme for the nursery but I don't want to overdo it.

Also, I love the hamper, and if it’s only function were a hamper I’d say no way for that price, but it could be a cute little toy bin, blanket storage, all the things!
@catem07 @bender29 the hamper is kind of expensive. hm.
It is super cute, but I also don't think I would spend that much on a hamper.
