Vacuum bags would be nice. I tried to keep the bags I'm using air-tight at first, but I gave up when I noticed the lack of air spaces was squishing my dolls' hair, which would eventually make it get stuck that way. I'm so annoyed with there being bugs everywhere! *AGGRESSIVELY CRANKIES*

Steel: It really does.

Oh that doesn't help any! :( *hugs* I hope that they get it all in and installed properly and things won't be so stressful soon!!

Amane: Ooh yeah, dolls and vacuum bags are not a good mix. You need a good case for the dolls.

Livi: Yeah, they left, but it's not done yet. And they have no idea when things are going to get finished. And mom is pretty livid. So how are the babies doing? Are the girls settling in alright? How is the little one's colic?

Steel: Ugh I hate people like that!!! D: I would be upset too!!

They're doing ok, Becca had a fun time with her Nana, so at least that's a plus. She seems to be settling in better than she was at first with having to share attention. I think she finally gets that she won't be forgotten now that Sophia is here. The other day we were out and someone asked how old the girls were - this was Thursday or Friday, I think? And Becca was like "Twwwwooo!" and I told her "Sweetie, no, you're three now!" and she was like "Ohhhh yeah!! I Tree!!!!" But she held up one finger. Mmm, yeah, we need to work on that

Mmm, it's still pretty bad, but not quite as bad as it has been. I've basically been cutting out so many things from my diet as we don't want to take her off my breast milk unless we absolutely have to... so far, so good. But if it doesn't get better soon, we may have to start using formula. And I will have to still pump, more to just make it more comfortable for me, not because she'll be able to actually use it. :/ Such a waste! D: We're hoping it doesn't come to that.

It's so good that Becca is adjusting well. I don't even remember what it was like to have to adjust to a baby sister. I was just shy of two when my sister was born.
Oh jeez, I really hope that it goes away soon. Although, apparently there are people who will buy breast milk off of you. The ultra vegans who can't produce breast milk on their own. There's even whole websites dedicated to it: Buy, Sell and Donate Breast Milk at Only The Breast. Our online breast milk classifieds makes sharing, buying, selling & donating breast milk possible. : Breast Milk Classifieds Buy Sell or Donate Breast Milk. I have some different friends. That's the only reason I know this, haha.

Yeah, it was rough at first, but things are settling into a routine and she seems to be settling in better, thank goodness. I remember it was an adjustment when my sister was born, but I was like quite a bit older. My sister was the "wait, we're having another kid?!" baby?

I hope it does too! But oh, that's great to be aware of, I'll look into it if it looks like it's coming to that, and we will have to wean her off breast milk all together, at least it wouldn't be going to waste then! That does make me feel a bit better.

I have one doll case, but it's for Polly dolls. I wish I had big doll cases! I'd settle for putting them in a plastic box with a lid.

Yeah, I think it's a lot easier on kids to be closer together in age. Because you end up not remembering life without a sibling. Less resentment that way. Though, my sister and I definitely had some rivalry going. But we were only a year apart in school and essentially did EVERYTHING the same. We got along a lot better once we developed different interests.

It is nice to know that something that is SO GOOD isn't just being thrown out.

All of my old Barbies are in big Tupperware containers. They're not that expensive at like, say, Target or WalMart.

I'm planning to ask for some containers of some type. As well as a fan that squirts water, just because I've always wanted one!

Those fans are pretty nice. :)

Yeah, although for me either way didn't really bother me - I have a sister who's 6 years younger, and then my two brothers who are closer in age - younger twin by a few minutes, and then my older brother by almost 2 years. So I know both, and sure there are pros and cons either way, but both seemed fine for me. I was SUPER excited when Christina was born - finally I wasn't the only girl!

For sure!! I did a lot of pumping after I had Benji and gave all the milk to the boys. Oh, by the way - things seem to be going better with them. ^_^

Haha, I can imagine being the only girl would suck majorly. :D My aunt was not only the only girl, but she was also the youngest of seven. o_0

I'm so glad that they're doing better!

Yeah, although I do love my brothers - they were wonderful, despite Carlie always trying to get me into trouble. Rather he would, but only because he was very good at convincing me to go along with his plans that usually ended up with us getting caught.

And oh wow!! O.o

Omg, yes! Me too! It was stressing me out - I never did get what was going on, but they're not as standoffish anymore, and they seem to be back to how they were before it all started. So that makes me happy.

Haha, yeah, that happens with sisters too. My baby sister was BRILLIANT at talking me into things. Though I think the "pet shop" under the bed was my idea. She was the kitty. I was the groomer. Kitty needed a haircut.

Haha, yeah, she had a bit of a rough and tumble upbringing.

Sounds like they just had a little bump in the road. Glad that they got over it together.

My sisters had fans like that when I was younger, but I didn't get one because I was so young.

I will tell you that at some point they will just spit water at you in big globules rather than a fine mist. Haha. They all do it.

Oh dear! Haha! I can see that going downhill fast with her having a bad haircut! That actually happened to me once or twice as I always had the longest hair of the three of us, till my sister was born.

Yeah, I'm glad that they got over it. ^_^

I hate life. I hate RIGs. I hate everything.

/rage

Let's just say she had REAAAALLY short hair for a while. Haha. My mom was so mad.

Me too. They sound like too nice of a couple. I would hate for something to happen to break them up.

Ohhhh dear!! Haha, yeah - I had short hair for awhile till it all grew back out again - I also learned that I don't like short hair. Haha! Well super short hair. I can stand it to my shoulders, nothing shorter than that though.

They really are. Of course I may be biased.
The other day when I saw them, Greg was bouncing off the walls more than normal - they have been talking about getting married (for awhile now), and Jon finally got around to proposing. Part of me wonders if that was causing him to stress - getting everything just right, etc etc etc. Who really knows though. I am super happy for them! :) I think they'll be fine. ^_^
Every couple has issues from time to time - I know a lot of people think that Alex and I are the perfect couple, and he is perfect for me, but we do fight, and it does get bad at times. We just do our best not to fight in front of the girls.

I cute my hair short every few years or so, because I donate the hair. But it gets frustrating. I can't do ANYTHING with it. I can't put it up, it's too hot to have down. Luckily it grows out pretty quickly.

Oh man, that is so awesome! Yeah, that could definitely have been what was up. SO many people really stress out about proposals.

Yeah, my only downside to longer hair is that the kiddos love to grab onto it and pull. There is no happy medium, sadly. So my hair is usually always up.

YEAH! I'm super excited for them! ABOUT TIME!!

Haha, oh yeah. Little ones are definite hair pullers.

Yes yes. And it's so painful! Ouchies!

Yeah, "gentle" isn't a thing they understand just yet.
