I am the white elephant in the room when I take the girls out with me. I cannot believe how ppl cannot get away from me fast enough! As if I might, omg, start talking to you!!! lol The best is when I am coming towards them, or in their general direction and they completely and obviously ignore me. Really? I know you can see me with this huge double stroller and an infant strapped to my chest! A smile of acknoledgment would be nice if anything at all. I was a friendly person in the beginning, and now I just want to get in and get the heck out. I am more grateful to those that ignore me than those who choose the give me nasty looks or rude comments. UGHHHGGHHGHG I do not even want to guess what will happen if we add one more the gang...actually, I will probablybe homebound for awhile! HAHA

Still getting the hang of the logistics of taking everyone out solo, but I am getting there. One of the twins is sitting in the far back of the van and has to use the back door to get in. The turkey will NOT walk through the car! lol She is a big girl too...we will get used to it soon hopefully...

First of all good for you for getting out with the 3 of them. I get out all the time with my girls + a 5 yr old but I've often wondered what it would be like to try to get out with 3 so little like that if we decide to have another anytime soon. I did attempt once with my nephew who is 6 months older than my girls(and not yet walking) plus his 4 yr old sister because I ended up having to watch him unexpectly and didn't want dd to miss dance so close to recital time. I must have been quite the sight. Him on my hip, a baby carrier on my elbow and one in my hand and a diaper bag over my should with the 2 older walking next to me lol! Hey whatever works. I couldn't use the stroller because her dance studio is in a basement and requires going down a flight of stairs. I refuse to be confined to the house so like you I would make it work somehow if we do have more! Anywayif I were you I would be upset by the dirty looks but I would actually love them avoiding me and getting out of my way! Sometimes I feel like a sideshow taking the girls out! I do wonder if I will miss it though when they are older even though it sometimes annoys me now. Since they are not identical which I believe yours are if I'm not mistaken. At some point in the next few years I think they will look like regualar sister and people will only know if I tell them or they ask their ages. I just wonder if I will look back at this time and miss the attention so I try not to get annoyed when the 10th person comes up to me and asks the same thing! lol! I'm surprised you don't get a ton of "wow you have your hands full!" That would drive me crazy!

We have a 5, 4, and 9 month old twins and I get the opposite, people are always like wow, twins, thats a lot of work, that must be hard etc....sometimes I wish they would just ignore us but luckily we haven't had anyone make any rude comments or anything towards us. Sorry you are dealing with that.

I didnt get that response. The girls were 15m when I got PG, so at the end, when I was hugely pg, with a baby on each hip, people looked at me like I was crazy, but they were just a different branch of the gawkers we already had. You would think that now that no one really knows they are twins, it would have slowed down, but no, we still get the starers when I call "Link up!!" and everyone grabs a hands and we march across the street like a school field trip. Oh, and if I have their baby sister (my ex's 8mo baby girl, who I have often).... forget about it! We once literally stopped traffic on a busy street. One car slowed down to say we are awesome (duh!!), then another and another. Oh boy. So funny.
