Rob and Irina, I am so happy for you all. From everything I have read, it sounds like you are wonderful parents. It will be exciting to have so many young ones, but you can do it with all of your love and kindness and humor.

Are you sure about having a sense of humor? You seem very, very serious to me, Just got back from a shot only visit to dr. and I made them take C's temp first b/c she felt hot; well duh, she didn't have a temp, just boiling from the short ride over there. Mirror in car says 84 already so you can take your 60 degrees and, well, you know. And yes, 50/50 is pretty much my answer to most things and I'm almost always right which is great: Do I think I'll get audited? 50/50. Do you think you're having a girl? 50/50. Do you think you will have a heat stroke today however: 90/10.

This makes me feel a little better, the "60 degrees here" really had me in a funk and almost ready to pack my bags, at least we're all in all of this together!!

Robin, you know you could always use Jen and Meg too - they are short names. Just kidding.

For all these blistering hot temps - what do you ladies let your little one sleep in? It's 80s and muggy here, should be in the 90s this weekend with yet more rain. I did finally turn the air on because E is like his daddy and HOT all the time. But I'm afraid of letting him sleep in just his onsie or even in just his diaper because he sleeps with his arms up over his head and thus they get cold. He has, however, kicked himself out of his sleep positioner (while remaining in the same spot I laid him down in - weird I know) and out from under his blankets three times this week. Don't know if he's trying to tell us he's hot or what. Sorry for rambling - just wanted to see what you ladies do. Also, what do you do about sun protection? Our ped says NO sunscreen until four months or older just to keep him out of the sun as much as possible or keep him covered if he's in the sun. Again, he gets too hot too fast and the hat just covers his head, neck and ears. E's sitter did put sunscreen on him yesterday when she took him out to watch the older kids playing but didn't tell me about it. I found out when I got him home and started loving on him, that was definitely not what he smelled like when I left him!
