I am also new here. My name is Carol I'm 32 and I'm from the Chicago
Suburbs. I just had baby Michael on 9/13/04 he is my first in a looooooooong
time - I have twins Lauren and Lindsey who are 11. We are doing okay
so far, but I am glad I found this forum to bounce questions and things
around in. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Here is Michaels Chrismas Pic

I'm Jennifer, I'm 26 and I have 3 girls, Maddie (6), Megan, (5), and Brianna (2) and we are ttc#4. I live in south central Mn.

Your son is adorable!! I just love that grin of his. What a cutie!
What is it like being a mom to twins? I've always thought it would be fun.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

MichaelsMommy replied: Hi Jennifer Your girls are adorable too! Thanks for the welcome.
Being a mom of twins has it's ups and downs like everything else.
They do fight alot and compete about everything but they are
also the best of friends and will be for life. The age they are at
is tough because they want to be teenagers, but they are still little
girls. I'm very happy this one is a boy, I can tell you that

Josie83 replied: Hi and welcome! your life sounds exciting! How are the twins adjusting to their little brother? I bet they love him! Do you have any pictures of the girls you could share? My name's Josie by the way, I'm 21 and I'm mum to Cassie whose two and a half months. I live in London in England with Cassie and my husband, Jason whose 21. Welcome to the boards! xx

MichaelsMommy replied: Hi aspenblue1 and Josie! Thanks for the nice welcome

I do have some pictures of the girls, but they are not the greatest

This is Lindsey



This is Lauren (pardon the dust kitchen is getting remodeled)


And the two of them and Michael



They are doing ok with him (Lindsey more then Lauren but she's coming around).
They love him to bits, but they don't like to help out with him too much, it's
considered 'work' and we're working on that. I think it is just the age they
are at, they want to run and run and sitting and feeding a bottle for a half
hour puts a dent in their schedule lol

Josie83 replied: Thanks for sharing those pictures. Are the twins identical? They look very alike. Your whole family id gorgeoues! xx

MichaelsMommy replied: Thanks:)
No they are not identical but they do look very much alike -
Lauren actually has blue eyes and Lindseys are brown.

Do you have a picture of Cassie to share? Very close in
age to Mr Michael (wish we could keep them this small!)

Josie83 replied: Unfortunately due to no money and prehistoric technology, have very fewpictures of Cassie that am able to post on here. Here's a recent-sh one though. I didn't realise tha they had different colour eyes until you said! xx

MichaelsMommy replied: Oh she is soooo cute! I didn't realize she was two, I read your post
above and thought she was 2 1/2 months lol I guess they are not
so close in age after all! lol She is just darling I bet she keeps you
on your toes!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Hi Carol! I'm Sara, married to Scott and pg with my first. Nice to meet you!

jcc64 replied: Hi Carol. I'm Jeanne(39), I'm married, work full time, and have 3 kids. I also have a BIG age gap between the kids. It was a big adjustment to start with the carseats, diaper bags, etc all over again, but at the same time it's a totally different experience doing it with the older kids by my side. My 12 yr old is very protective and loving with my daughter- she actually used to call him Dad when she was 1st learning to speak. My 9 yr old is more of an entertainer/playmate, not quite as conscientious, sometimes a little resentful, but overall a very important presence in her life. It's been very interesting.
Looking forward to getting to know you.

MommyToAshley replied: Hello and Welcome!

What a beautiful family!!!! I really like the picture of the girls kissing Michael, too cute!

MichaelsMommy replied: Hi Sara, Jeanne, and Dee Dee Thanks for the nice welcome

Congrats on your pregnancy Sara, has it been going well for you
so far? Do you know what your going to have?

Jeanne and Dee Dee your kids are so cute!

I work full time too, it's been quite a challenge to get back to
the working grind after having Michael but so far so good!

This board really seems great, I never would have expected such a
nice welcome
