Fill in any day that will interfere with dinner, work, fun with friends, etc. Then write down what you like to eat. It doesn't have to be fancy or complicated. Just fill it in. Make sure to note if you are feeding two and your recipe makes enough for six bc you'll have leftovers. Plan for those. Then sur back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

We bought a present for Abbie from Madison thinking she would be excited about a baby but Abbie was not happy with her sister she didn't want anything to do with her, I was devistated but it ended up being a blessing because..... I didn't have to worry about Abbie smothering her when I needed to take a shower or make dinner, etc. Abbie warmed up to Madison of course and they are best friends now. Because they will be close in age my best advice is to reassure Molly that you have enough cuddles for two babies.... I was continuously telling Abbie I have two laps and two arms for cuddling don't worry. I delayed potty training because once Abbie saw her sister in diapers any progress was lost. Don't stress about that too much it is not so bad to have two in diapers at the same time... just assembly line diaper changes.

They let Kacy choose what outfit for her brother to wear home from the hospital, help out with the baby (bringing stuff to mommy when needed), and basically just feel included as much as possible. I know that a few of us got her Big Sister presents (coloring books, stickers, play-doh) to 1) help her feel special too and 2) keep her occupied! <br />You guys will do great!!

I did however get gestational diabetes with Molly. It's possible that I may get it again but I've been working hard to change my diet and have already started eating as if I have GD this time around. I would suggest getting a basic prenatal blood work test run if you are thinking about getting pregnant and trying to lose some weight. It can only help.

Also, a friend brought a gift to the hospital for C1. It was cool because then he came to meet his brother & got a present, so double bonus ;) When the baby got home, we let C1 help wherever possible - bottles, baths, getting diapers, etc. - which helped him feel included. We really haven't had many sibling issues until now - C2 doesn't understand how to share yet so C1 has to always be the one who has to share, so that becomes a challenge ;) Molly will be great!sarah b.http://www.onestitchshort.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5135295.post-69080686560740491562013-07-08T07:50:19.759-07:002013-07-08T07:50:19.759-07:00Okay, 1) Molly is, like, the cutest kid on earth. ...Okay, 1) Molly is, like, the cutest kid on earth.

I use Evernote too, and then I pop the list(s) into Grocery IQ, which I love because I can share it with Danny, I can make separate lists for stores, and I can organize the aisles in each store's list to match the actual store layout!<br /><br />I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
