TWINS

mrs711

Is anyone else not only surprised that they are pregnant but in more shock to find out that they are expecting twins? We are over the moon and still in disbelief.The on going joke for me was "it runs in the family so we must be careful."

We are so excited it's scary.  We pray that they are healthy!

Most likely I will never have tweens, but just wanted to say Congrats!!!!

Double congratulations! I'm just so glad that this hasn't happened to me, but I know quite a few people with twins.

We just found out last Thurdsay that we're expecting twins too. After being told that at 41 there wasn't a lot of hope in getting pregnant naturally, this is twice the shock. But... it really is twice the blessing. It is... right?????

Congratulations! I was hoping for twins the first time. Now, if I get pregnant again after this baby I hope it's only 1, 3 kids is a lot but 4 would be too much for me! I am tired just taking care of one and growing another.

I wasn't surprised, we had to do IVF so there was a 25% chance.  However, fraternal twins do run in my family (7 sets).  So while my immediate family (mom, dad, sisters) knows about our IF, the rest of the family has no clue and think that I am continuing the fraternal twins tradition. 

So far our two have been measuring a little ahead (a few days each), NT scan came back all clear, and at 20 weeks they weighed 14 oz. each.  I am having my first growth scan on Friday, so  I am really intersted in seeing how much they weigh now.  My MFM says that everything is looking good.

Oh wow, how exciting. Sounds like smooth sailing for you. May it continue till D day!

Am scared to find out my numbers but it must be done. I only pray that all goes well and that they are healthy!
 

Congrats!

You said it, sister! The weirdest thing is that I knew that our due date was 3/28 before, but now, it's all a crap shoot. I suppose it won't be later that 37 weeks, which would put us at about 3/7. You're only a couple of days ahead of me too!

Double the congrats!  I remember how exciting and scary it felt, it took DH and I a while before it really sank in, but we know we are blessed.  Check out the Multiples board, they are a great group. 

Congrats and H&H 9 months to you!  )
