3 year old twins and preggo!

Boy am I already tired and I am only 5 weeks tomorrow. Luckily my daughters are awesome and really well behaved but yikes. I can only imagine how tired I'll get! But on a side note. If you have other siblings that age when did you tell them they were going to have a new baby?

Re: 3 year old twins and preggo!

  • My oldest was 2.5 when I got pg w the twins. I didn't do anything elaborate - we just told him a few times. Said he was going to have two baby brothers. He's pretty easy-going w stuff like that and was fine w it.

    Though every once in a while we'd ask him how many brothers he wanted and he'd always say 5! Haha.

  • Mine was about 2 weeks shy of 4 years old when we told her. She had been telling people for about a year that she was the big sister and she had a baby (dolls) so people just thought it was part of her pretend play. It wasn't until she started saying there's a baby in mommy's tummy did people get suspicious (by that time she was already 4 and I was 10+ weeks).
  • I'm 6 weeks and my twin girls are just turning 2. We're very excited but I have no idea how its going to go with 3 children!

    We told our girls that there is a baby in mommy's belly but they don't really understand yet. Maybe when my belly gets bigger or they can feel the baby move.

  • Mine don't understand really at all. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and my daughters are 22 months. I tell them they have a baby brother coming and that he's in mommy's belly but I really don't think they get it. They do kiss my belly sometimes and it's cute.

                              

  • My DS was 18 mos when I got pg with the twins. We'd tell him he was going to have sisters and they were momma's babies but at that time he didn't get it. Now if you ask him how old he is, he'll tell you "two babies". Which yes, he is still 2. He's a funny guy!

  • I have 3 year old twin girls and I am 7 weeks 3 days pregnant... Go for an ultrasound next Thursday... can't help but wonder if there will be one or two haha! But will tell you the twin pregnancy was SOOOO much easier then this one this far!! The girls will come to the first ultrasound but I think I'll just say its a picture of my belly for now. - just in case.
