One more after twins

CaliCarly77

I think I might be pregnant...my twins are 11 months old next week :S 

I am freaking out - not sure I am ready for this! I know there are a few others on here who have done this, and some very recently!! Thoughts/comments/talk me off the ledge!!!!

I did on Saturday and it was negative. AF was due yesterday and still no signs at all. I am avoiding another poas because I don't want to know the truth yet. This was very unplanned though we had not closed the door on #3, but hadn't decided on it yet. 

God I sure hope its a breeze - I always think that will be the case, but you know, a newborn with 18 month old twins presents its own set of challenges. I really am bouncing back and forth between acceptance and complete fear!!! Which, I guess is a similar reaction to when we found out we were having twins and that has turned out fine lol.

I am 14 weeks pregnant with #3 and got pregnant when my twins had just turned a year.  I was freaked out BIG time for the first month or so.  Then I felt so crappy that all I thought about was feeling better.  Now I'm in the second trimester and I'm so excited for this baby!  I know there will be difficult days ahead but I'm just going to roll with it.  I survived the first year with twins, right?

Anyways, as pp said, no need to freak out since you aren't sure yet.  But if it is positive you will be ok!  I don't know how you are waiting....I think I was like 3 weeks and some change when I found out...I couldn't wait till my period was due lol.

I knew you were kicking around out there - I remember seeing you and another regular post about baby #3! Thank you so much for your kind words, they are really hitting home right now. 

Hah - like I said, I kind of just want to avoid the truth right now!! If I knew it would be 100% for sure negative, I think I would poas sooner lol.

Well AF finally came. After all of the encouraging words here, and a feeling of disappointment when AF arrived, I realized we need to come up with a plan for #3!!! YAY!!!! So the plan is to start ttc after my sister's wedding this summer. I was relieved that I wouldn't be birthing a child the same month my sister/best friend is getting married!!! 

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!

Our girls are 15 months old and our newest little sweetie is 5 weeks! It's hard because the girls are into everything, the baby so far is a breeze because she's still in the eat ,sleep
, poop stage. I'm on leave right now and doing it on my own unless DH is off, I have to say it is way easier then when my girls where first born. I don't know if it's because I have experience now but I'm so much more relaxed this time. I was pretty freaked out when I first got pregnant as well, but now that she's here and seeing how sweet they are with her it's so worth it.
They give her kisses and even try to give her toys, it's funny because they won't share with each other but they will with her!

* just saw the replies, glad it worked out !

oh my goodness that is such a cute picture! And how funny that they share with her and not each other! Awww now I am really anxious for #3! ha ha. I know, I feel like I owe it to myself to have a 3rd to put this experience and relaxed attitude to use!

My singleton just turned a year old he is 18 months younger than my twins. The last year has had it's trying times, but the beautiful moments that my kids have all shared together are amazing. There is never a dull moment. They help each other, rely on each other, share with each other, kiss ouchies when I'm not readily available, encourage one another, and teach one another. DS3 learned to walk almost exclusively holding on to the twins hands. DS3 has picked up on ALL of the words and phrases they say. In the year of his life they have fed him, tried to diaper him, made him bottles, and taught him everything they know. 

I love how close my kids are, except for when I have to go to the bathroom while at the grocery store... I have not mastered taking three small kids into the bathroom stall with me.
