I loved my sling but with littles close together it became impractical.<br /><br />Meals: I have so many great recipes that I rely on faithfully. I think I might actually just write a blog post about it to save having the type them here. (sorry, they would take up a lot of room.)<br /><br />Hurricane: I know, I'm late, but I started out laughing and I ended up laughing. I am sorry for those who were worse affected, for sure, but they way ppl talk here in the DC area is ridiculous. You would think the world was coming to an end with each weather report. I did use it as an excuse to finally clean up all the toys scattered in my yard and hunt down the flashlights from their toddler hiding places. <br /><br />I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! Hope you are feeling well!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034274481098439834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-59190361672532305772011-08-26T20:32:33.582-05:002011-08-26T20:32:33.582-05:002.

You might be able to find one on Ebay or Craigslist for reasonable price.<br /><br />3. Wish I could help you, but I'm a sucky cook. Sorry.<br /><br />4. My hubby and I were totally addicted to that show. I started crying at the end when they crossed the finish line. And you know what you two will do just fine with your new guy, no worries.<br /><br />6. This made me laugh. E told me that the doctor would use a big can opener and unscrew my belly to get his brother out. Oh, the things kids think...<br /><br />7. Way to ROCK the bananas. GREAT job mom! I'll have to remember that one.<br /><br />Well, have a great weekend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290727954814237313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-84313111553185969792011-08-26T18:10:24.357-05:002011-08-26T18:10:24.357-05:00Bjorn is what I used and it was sturdy.

So I'll put my thumbs up of approval on the bjorn.<br /><br />We always have home made spaghetti sauce in the freezer. It is a must have. home made chicken noodle soup is a must, too. Did you know you can freeze chili as well?<br /><br />And bananas rule. You still win.<br /><br />AlitaAlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254210662317636749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-10653729749434546452011-08-26T17:08:03.647-05:002011-08-26T17:08:03.647-05:002.

They run maybe around $35? And Babies R Us carries them and maybe you could use one of those 20% off coupons they're always having? But I would totally go for the generous offers above first :)<br /><br />3. Lots of good ideas above - I second individually wrapped burritos!<br /><br />6. Wait, so how did you answer her? :)<br /><br />7. Oh I am not looking forward to that. I'm trying so hard right now just to only feed her good food from the start!That Married Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363886412589745900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-19019539159244131752011-08-26T15:58:26.333-05:002011-08-26T15:58:26.333-05:00Mia is so cute!

I got my Ergo half-price from www.babysteals.com via Facebook. I would absolutely buy both carriers again.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605426195521274662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-83221353680200173372011-08-26T11:18:27.946-05:002011-08-26T11:18:27.946-05:001.

Still hoping...http://onceamonthmom.com/ (it's full f freezer meals)<br /><br />7. I'm concerned about snacks too (though they brought their own to K last year, and don't have them is 1st!). Last night, I took snacks to our girl scout meeting - cheese and crackers and grapes. And then another mom plunked down two BIG boxes of cookies. Hooray. (actually, the girls ate both, so maybe there is hope?)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039712389445193435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-46846758659262186692011-08-26T10:37:12.352-05:002011-08-26T10:37:12.352-05:00Do you want to try a Baby Bjorn?

Wait, there is, if I had twins and strapped one in the front and one in back, but THAT sounds like a horrible idea and I don't want to have twins anyway, so do you want it?? I'll send it to you!Lucy The Valianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017727113612906573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-79079921234619911342011-08-26T10:14:23.228-05:002011-08-26T10:14:23.228-05:002) I have a beautiful mei-tai that I'd be happ...2) I have a beautiful mei-tai that I'd be happy to mail to you. Want it?<br />4) Burritos in individual wrappers, thick-chunky stews that can be speared with a fork, or anything that can be eaten with one hand while cradling a baby and standing at the counter top. Go for protein-and-carb dense - help counter that exhaustion by being sure to nourish yourself.<br />5) Stupid hurricane. My legs are still shaking from the earthquake. We have flashlight batteries, wine, and a stash of surprise new Polly Pockets. Priorities, you know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
