New Twin Mommas!

How is your DH reacting to the news?

Mine is excited but totally freaked out - he is an only child and has no baby experience at all.  He just keeps repeating "we will figure this all out, it will all be wonderful" over and over.

Poor guy!

    butting in to say my DH would also freak out about twins, I'm sure!  I think it is a man's natural reaction!

    DH and I have had many conversations on the subject. I think discussing it and freaking out is totally different than having it be a reality.

    I secretly hope to have to deal with it, IRL.

    Ditto this. We kinda want twins, but of course would be ecstatic with just one healthy LO. My H says he would be okay with twins, but would rather have just one at a time. Like negril says, I think if it actually does happen he will be just like your hubby LCB.

    My DH is excited - I am the one freaking out!

    Right now I am ok about the financial aspect of it (maybe that part just hasn't sunk in yet, though) I am more scared about carrying two babies healthily. I'm really small framed. I don't know how two are going to grow and fit in there!!

    My H is absolutely calm about it--not even a little bit shocked. I heard him gasp a little bit when two sacs showed up on the screen, but other than that, he just keeps asking ME how I'M feeling about the news. This is our way, though: I'm the worrier in our relationship, he is the reassurer.

    This is completely and totally true... We thought twins would be so cool until we actually saw two sacs our first u/s and then we were sort of in an 'OMG what have we done!' daze. And terrible as it sounds, we were a tiny bit relieved when we only had one at the next u/s!

     

    But I admit, I am so excited for all our new twin mommas... and a tiny bit jealous as well! Even though I am completely happy with one.

    Yay, twins!! I must have missed a post by you.  I am so happy for you.  To answer your question: elation, fear and shock. We both really go back and forth between both of them.  One is we hope this works out as it is still early.  Two, will we need a new house (currently in a 2 BR condo with 3 cats) and all the other space related questions, and wow, are we really this lucky!  It is a mash of all emotions.  Congrats again!!
