Text of the page (random words):
acement in digging through my underwear drawer i found a pair of jockey hipsters i bought 4 5 years ago and forgot i had and i love them they are super soft and they stay put without binding but i checked the jockey website and it appears that the style has been discontinued i ve also tried hanes soma intimates cacique the lane bryant brand and a few other brands of hipsters without success spanx still work thought not as effectively as they once did but i m not going to wear control panties every day so how about it ladies anyone out there have a great brand style of hipsters they want to recommend on a completely unrelated side note can i mention that i hate using euphemisms for things i have always been plain spoken and blunt i never say pee pee for penis making love or making whoopee or anything else for sex and i don t say people passed on when they actually died so i used the term unmentionables to be funny ironic because it s a term i d never use in real life posted by s at 1 48 pm 5 comments wednesday august 15 2012 time flies when you re having fun seems like i rarely have time to post here these days and time to post in the evenings when i could include photos is even more rare when i leave the office i sometimes joke that i m off to my other full time job except it s more of a true statement than a joke because taking care of our boys is a full time job just one i share with mm and with our nanny a few quick updates on what s going on in our world aj and mj will be 7 months old on sunday it s hard to believe we are more than halfway through their first year already so many twin moms have told us it gets easier after the first year we shall see although the past several months have had their challenges it really hasn t been that bad in the main the boys are at a really fun age they notice everything they are particularly fascinated by our dog and by our iphones and they grab for anything within reach including toys food the dog s fur remote controls etc everything they grab goes in their mouths mj has been rocking back and forth on his hands and knees for a few weeks which i am told is a step toward starting to crawl he rolls around everywhere and his latest obsession is trying to tear apart and chew the foam tiles which make up their play area he gets upset if you move him away from the edges or take the tiles out of his little hands he can sit for a short while without support but usually opts to quickly slide to the ground so he can roll away from you aj can roll just as well as mj but prefers to stay put most of the time except when he rolls over to change to a more comfortable position or to get a toy that s just out of reach he can sit without support longer than mj maybe because he is about 2 lbs lighter and has shown less interest than mj in moving himself any distance i joke that his attitude is why should i learn to crawl if i want to go somewhere i ll just cry until mama picks me up and carries me there they have been eating solids for over a month they ve had three kinds of cereal carrots peas sweet potatoes avocado banana pears and apples so far mj has appeared to enjoy everything he s tried except carrots aj is more finicky he hated every kind of cereal they ve tried rice oatmeal and barley and will not eat it unless it s subtly mixed in small quantity with fruit he also was not a particular fan of carrots or peas either he loves sweet potatoes pears and apples and is ok with avocado and banana a little over a week ago i had to tearfully breakdown and buy them some commercial baby food given the other demands on my time this month there was just no other way to keep starting them on a new food every 4 5 days as i simply did not have the time needed to devote to preparing the next foods they were starting i haven t given up entirely on homemade baby food i still want to make their food as much as i can when i can find the time but i ve been really happy with the plum organics line of baby food so convenient and the boys seem to like the taste they ve also tried earth s best which they did not seem to like quite as much and will be trying ella s kitchen shortly i ve switched over to using cloth diapers about 80 of the time mm refuses to cloth diaper on the mondays he s with the boys or any time he s in charge of them on weekends or it would be 100 of the time our nanny helps with the washing etc on the four days she s with us and i take care of the diapers the other days it s working out well we are using mainly bumgenius and a few fuzzibunz diapers and they are so cute lots of people ask us if having twins is twice the work and i read a great comment from another twin mom about this recently it s more like one and a half times the work i agree with this because the hands on care is twice the work each baby has the same needs as any other baby but the baby related activities like shopping meal prep laundry and the like don t take that much more time for two than they do for one so that s my take life in general is very very busy work is busy the boys keep us hopping and in the small amount of time not devoted to either work or parenting i try to keep up with chores shopping friends family and our dog whew we are enjoying the boys tremendously and feel fortunate every day to have them they are both really happy babies who generally sleep well and are pretty easy to take care of i often say that the only hard thing about them is that there s two of them if we had either of them alone we d be talking all the day about what a good baby he is posted by s at 10 23 am 3 comments thursday august 9 2012 ah social media i ve posted here before about the pitfalls of using facebook when ttc pregnancy announcements and ultrasound photos from old coworkers friends and acquaintances leap onto our news feeds without warning leaving us feeling slapped in the face or gut punched some fertiles even post photos of their hpts seemingly not long after the pee has dried in addition to that downside to facebook i ve also been annoyed by other things about it the memes that people post talking about how much they love their kids husband siblings parents best friend the seemingly non stop during election season religious and political posts the game invitations most of which i have thankfully figured out how to block the friend requests from people i don t know or from people i do know but have no interest in reconnecting with don t get me wrong for the most part i actually enjoy facebook i like seeing photos and posts from old friends and i ve reconnected with at least 20 people through that site that i likely never would ve heard from again otherwise it s a fun way to connect with people who i don t see every day my latest annoyance puzzler on facebook is the ads from what i ve read the ads you see are supposed to be targeted toward your interests which facebook gleans from the things you post so when i see ads for baby products or for weight watchers or for activities in my city i get it i live where i live i m fat and i have two babies i m also not surprised when i get random ads for products i don t use it s not a big leap from my liking a page for hatch green chile to think i might like to try a new salsa plus i live in the southwest who here doesn t like salsa i may not drink alcohol but ads for various alcoholic beverages likewise don t surprise me i figure they re just targeting women in my age range but some of the ads really leave me scratching my head one i ve seen nearly every day for the last month is for chronic constipation i ve been getting another one for hiv treatment i saw one this morning inviting me to participate in a clinical study for epilepsy i suffer from none of these ailments and am not too sure why facebook thinks these ads would interest me more disturbing to me i ve also gotten a few ads for marriage counseling i am 100 certain that i have never posted anything even remotely negative about mm or our relationship on facebook i m not one to publicly air my dirty laundry well except for on this blog and both mm and i loathe spouses communicating with one another through facebook you live together just talk to each other or email text etc so i don t even post my husband is the greatest type stuff on there maybe the site just assumes that anyone who is parenting twins must have a marriage on the rocks i don t know it s a puzzler for sure rest assured my marriage is happy i suppose we could all benefit from marriage counseling at some time or other but i don t think i ll be clicking on any of those facebook ads any time soon posted by s at 10 33 am 6 comments monday august 6 2012 cloning warning parenting and children discussed no this post has nothing to do with cloning as a means of reproduction rather i am thinking of cloning myself in order to be able to manage everything in my life although that idea didn t work out too well for michael keaton s character in this movie my life is incredibly full and i am very happy it just seems that i no longer have enough hours in the week to get everything done between the minutiae of daily living laundry pet care meals etc and work and parenting i seem to have no time left over work obviously sucks up a large portion of my waking hours and taking care of the boys seems to use up most of the rest of that time i don t want to outsource any more of the boys care than i already do since that is the part of my time that i enjoy the most and i can t realistically cut back on work being more efficient at work wouldn t even solve the problem since i am required to bill a certain number of hours every year one of the evils of private practice in my opinion no real incentive to be efficient since the client is paying for your time yesterday i neglected to call one of my oldest and dearest friends for her birthday i didn t forget her birthday entirely i had mailed her a card a few days prior but i believe this is the first time in over 20 years of friendship that i haven t called and sung her the birthday song on her day i neglect other friends by not returning their phone calls or checking in with them i have a dear friend living across the country whose father is slowly dying of cancer and while i have called weekly on average to check on her and have sent her a couple of thinking of you cards i wish i could be doing more a year ago even at the height of feeling crappy while pregnant i would ve been doing more my father wants me to visit him in september and i would also be able to see the friend mentioned in the paragraph above if i did she grew up in the city where my dad lives and will be there visiting for her mother s 80th birthday but the thought of how behind i would be on everything at home if i went away for a weekend is more daunting than the prospect of a six hour car trip with the boys i haven t even attempted to take on any new volunteering since getting pregnant a little over a year ago coincidentally my six and a half year commitment as a court appointed advocate to a little girl in foster care ended the month before our ivf cycle i miss it and i feel like a bad person for not being able to fit it in i ve thought about cutting back on sleep but that s not realistic for me i need at least 7 hours a night to function and if i get over tired i can t concentrate at work and am more prone to migraines i was hit with a bad one last friday and i wasn t even sleep deprived as it is i have not followed through on my plan to work out four days a week choosing to sleep an extra hour a night instead hmmm cloning is not the solution obviously i don t know what is probably just accepting that i can t do it all and because work and parenting are non negotiable accepting that i am going to be a crappy or absent friend daughter volunteer for a while posted by s at 11 31 am 5 comments newer posts older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me s we started trying to conceive our first child in april 2008 i am now 45 my husband who i call mm here is now 43 our infertility has been unexplained and the only explanation our local
