I didn't quite catch what you meant, so maybe give it another shot 🙂

If everyone sends me their numbers, I'll get a group chat started

What do you all usually prefer—sticking to the WhatsApp or Viber groups? I’ve been thinking about starting a dedicated thread just for sharing photos, because those group chats feel a bit too crowded and chaotic for that kind of thing. Plus, my Reddit app keeps freezing up on me, making it such a pain to subscribe to specific threads; I end up having to hunt for them every single time I log in. A separate space for pics would be so much smoother and more organized, don't you think? If you guys are up for it, let me know! 🙂

The weather here has been playing games—scorching hot during the day but then dropping unexpectedly cold at night, so I haven’t felt comfortable stripping them down to just a diaper yet. Today, I just let them out of their pants for a bit so their little legs could catch a breeze; honestly, I can't tell if they're actually feeling the heat or if it's just me overthinking things.

What formula are you all using? I honestly feel like this Nan stuff they're pushing for allergy prevention is just too weak to actually do anything...
The mosquitoes are still absolutely relentless, though at least they aren't biting me in the middle of the night, which is the one thing I'm thankful for..
They’re perfectly well-behaved only when we're out driving in the car :/ ..goldenmoose25, I am seriously envious of your bravery and those sweet little girls of yours who just sit there quietly and sleep ,because mine are total bundles of nerves right now

My little one falls asleep instantly in the BabyBjorn carrier... but hey, that’s only useful if you’ve just got one kid 🙂 Honestly, I feel like I'm betraying my own body by stopping breastfeeding; it feels like a total defection, especially since my breasts have basically gone limp and lost all their shape—it’s honestly pretty grim 😢

My little ones seem to think the only point of going outside is to rattle around in their strollers; the second I try to actually stop and enjoy the view, it’s absolute mayhem.
Emily Garcia10, if I end up picking up the Minimonkey, we'll probably run into each other and can finally test it out.

Check out this find... though honestly, the price tag is absolutely criminal. I think I might have to start hunting for someone special to drop a hint about this being the ultimate gift.

I’ve been averaging about 24 to 27 ounces a day for roughly two weeks now.
I'm crossing my fingers that everything just clears up for you! It will happen, and things will settle down. As for that cleanser, I really hope it isn't causing too much irritation... if it is, can you just insist they remove it regardless of what the staff thinks?
And that sounds lovely regarding the spa trip—I'd love to join.
Oh, and on a side note, I have quite a few stretch marks, and the hyperpigmentation hasn't faded yet; unfortunately, the marks don't seem to be going anywhere either. Does anyone have any actual advice for dealing with them, or am I just destined to wear one-piece swimsuits for the rest of my life? :/

Haha, you hear that little tune around here too! lol😁
Yeah, I was actually over at the pediatrician’s yesterday and gave them the green light for everything😉, everything is right on track and I've recovered beautifully. Thank God.
Feeding is such a toss-up; usually, they take about 4 ounces (which is basically 90mL of water plus the powder bumping it up to 100mL), but late at night they might only take 2 ounces before drifting back to sleep, and we do that twice. I’m really hoping that’s a sign they’ll soon transition to just one wake-up call—or better yet, none at all🙂
Then there are those nights where they’ll polish off 5.5 ounces; honestly, there’s no rhyme or reason to it... it just depends on how much sleep they got beforehand, if we went for a walk, or if they had a bath earlier. Most often, they’ll have a solid 4.5-ounce feeding right before their first real sleep around 10 or 11 PM, followed by another big meal in the morning. Everything in between is just whenever the mood strikes them.
We also give them some Hipp organic fennel tea if I get the feeling they’re crying because they're thirsty rather than hungry. At first, they couldn't stand the taste—they'd make these hilarious little sour faces—but now they gulp it down quite nicely, maybe about an ounce at a time. I tend to offer it every other day or so, depending on how I read them.

I guess I went on a bit of a tangent there. Just one more thing regarding the nasal congestion—every day, I drip a little saline into each nostril and then use a manual suction bulb to clear out all those nasty little clogs. They aren't fond of the process, but it’s over quickly, and you can literally see the relief wash over their faces once that gunk is finally gone. I picked up some Babylove pumps from CVS, and honestly, they've been a lifesaver!

My friends all know my boobs tend to sag a bit, but honestly, they seem to be getting more obsessed with them by the day; I guess they just find some sort of soothing comfort there, and even though I used to swear up and down that I’d never let anyone use me as a pacifier, of course, I end up doing absolutely everything to make sure they stay calm, haha.

They’re exactly 5 weeks and 3 days old today. The little one is sitting at about 8.2 lbs and the bigger one is 8.8 lbs. They've both grown about an inch.
The pediatrician thinks they're doing fantastic and wants to see us back in two months. She warned us we can't overfeed them (they're hitting about 120ml roughly seven times every 24 hours). They were actually such angels that Mom and Dad treated ourselves to a nice dinner out afterward. Of course, once we got home and started getting ready, they decided to throw up.

Way to go, guys! Mine have their next physical in ten days, and I am dying to see what they weigh—they’ve seriously filled out and stretched out, they are just precious!
Colic seems to hit them right around evening every single day now, usually around 6 or 7 PM, but they sleep like a dream through the night. That first stretch of sleep lasts about five hours!
Rebecca Roberts8, that idea about putting flip-flops in the hallway is actually pretty clever; mine can tell immediately when we aren't walking on hilly pavement and we're just relaxing at home, so they don't try to pull those stunts anymore, haha.

So, looking at my own family tree, we actually have five sets of twins scattered throughout our history. It makes me wonder if anyone else here has dealt with that kind of pattern in their lineage—is there really a genetic blueprint for doubling up like that, or am I just playing a high-stakes game of biological roulette?😁

My husband’s got a brother and sister who are twins, and since I don't have any siblings and he doesn't have anyone else besides those two, I figure there aren't really any set rules—it feels like everyone just has an equal shot at having twins. 🙂
