I've been trying to curb my buying stuff online impulses, but I had gotten measured for new bras and needed to get all new ones. When I told MH he got whiny and so I agreed that I wouldn't get anything more. And then last night he saw that my bras and panties didn't match and so told me I needed to order some new panties to match the bras. I'm not arguing, but I think it's weird that he's so concerned about my underthings matching.

Thank you for the support, J12! I don't have a lot of mom friends so it's hard to find people who understand my fears. I love hearing stories of people who are living a normal life with twins. I know it's possible so I just need to get over my Debbie Downer feelings. I know that once I can feel these babies, it will seem more real and we'll form a bond.

Again, THANK YOU for making me feel better.

I hear you! Sometimes I feel like DH thinks I sit around the house all day while he's bringing home the bacon. The other day he made some comment about why we had no clean towels... they were in the dryer... and I pretty much castrated him with my eyes. The next evening I grabbed my car keys and said 'watch L because I'm getting a Mani/pedi.' And just left. He's been much nicer to me.

L starts daycare Monday and I'm pretty excited. Hope you get your MDO soon! It zaps you doing the same.thing.every.day.

@jack5209 you are so blessed to be with twins. Dont let other people get you down.

Last night I got sucked up watching Open Water 2 on some random movie channel. I've seen it before a few years back and remembered it kinda sucked but there wasn't much else on. Anyway, the basic plotline is that a group of friends all go out on a yacht, and when they all jump in the water they forget to lower the ladder and are stuck out in the ocean with no way back on. A couple that are there brought their maybe 7 mo old baby who was still on the boat. So there is a good amount of footage dedicated to this poor little baby crying her eyes out with no one to feed or comfort her. When I first saw this movie it didn't affect me much, but watching it now as a mother made me ugly cry and change the channel.

@sallysunrise I don't think having pizza a few times a week is bad, but Em really had nothing redeeming all day long. I need to go to the store, but DH takes the car to work. When the power went out, I didn't even have pouches to give her!! So today my mom is coming to get me so that I can use her car to go to the store. Sorry baby girl, no more days of only having junk food!!!

Another FC - I fully intend to also hit up Once Upon A Child while I'm out. They're having a sale + tax free weekend, so I'm going to get a few things for Mr. Turkey. This is a FC because I have no room to store it until he gets here, and it's going to make clutter in the closet...which I've been fussing to DH that we need to clean out. X_X

You said 'ugly cry' and I immediately think of Farrah from Teen Mom. I need a lyfe!1!!!11!!!

@mandiek72512 Farrah officially has the worst cry I have ever seen. Ever.

@jack5209 my aunt had twins when my older cousin was 2. This was back in the 80s so she didn't even find out it was twins until 5 weeks before she had them! And she did fine! I mean I'm sure she was pretty tired for a while but they always went on vacation and did date nights and took the kids places, their lives weren't over! Your situation is actually one I'm terrified I will find myself in because twins run in my family. But hey, look at the bright side, you have like 8 months to adjust to the concept instead of 5 weeks!!

Oh this would totally get me too! Not only the baby in the plot line but the baby in real life who's parents put her on a movie set where she was repeatedly made to cry for money. I totally judge those parents.

Im in a funk. I love staying home but I feel like its the same thing everday. Fight kid to sleep, play, eat, fight to sleep again.. repeat. DH comes home and just chills while I coom supper then clean up after supper. I used to could go to town and stuff but Rylan acts so bad that its just not worth the hassle. I feel like Im missing something. Im on all the waiting lists for MDO but so far, no openings. I thought about working part time but I have a feeling thats not going to really make it any easier because of DHs crazy work schedule. This morning Rylan woke up at 4. I did everything I could to get him back to sleep. DH gets all pissy and takes Rylan into the living room to play. I took full advantage of it and slept but he made it out to be like Im terrible for not getting up with him and he had to. That just isnt fair to me. I do everything around here. DH has NO responsibilty other than going to work. Im PMSing and whining basically...
I feel your pain. Big time. My H works hard and I'm grateful. But he conveniently leaves when she wakes up and comes back about bedtime. He hates the bedtime routine so I have to do it. So he pretty much does nothing but work and come home and get fed and watch TV. Oh oh and yesterday he had the balls to tell me about his amazaing lunch from whole foods. I lost it on him and totally let him have it! I have been dealing with a crazy teething monster, barely had time to eat half a pb&j and you have the balls to tell me about your fantastic fucking sandwich?!?!!!! I refused to cook and made him go get me a nice dinner.

Men!!! Im currently watching DH and Rylan play. DH is sitting in the recliner on his phone and playing 'fetch'..........

You'll be fine girl! At least you aren't a FTM with twins! Gosh I hated when people used to say crap like that. It really wasn't as hard as people made it out to be.

I'm debating not telling anyone IRL about our upcoming twins. I love sharing happy news but everyone that I've told so far has had negative things to say. For example, they'll say "OMG that's so cool but you're life is going to be so hard. You're not going to be leaving the house for months!" Ugh! I hate it! Don't you think I've thought of these things? Last night a good friend made a comment about my life being over when these twins arrive which led to an ugly cry fit. Thank god DH was home to take LO and leave me alone. I guess the FFFC part is that I'm scared sh*tless about this whole situation. I'm constantly freaking out inside. I just want to crawl in bed and hide.

I'm so sorry people are being so stupid. I had some similar remarks of "double trouble" and some people plain out saying "I'm sorry". Really?? I'd usually try to reply with the opposite of "double the fun" or "double the love". Once the twins are born the reactions will be totally different. All of a sudden everyone wishes they had twins. People LOVE twins. I can't go anywhere without people stopping by to comment on them. People will see you as a supermom and you'll get a pass for a lot of things, just for being a twin mom (+1!).

What you're feeling is completely normal. Having twins is not easy. I had my moments of panic during my pregnancy as well. While DH was anxious to get to hold and meet the babies, I was enjoying every bit of my last few moments of my "normal" life. We have a new normal now and I wouldn't change any of it! It's going to be OK!

true, in the early stages you feel like a freak, but you will notice EVERYONE wants to talk to you about them.

My fffc is my husband booked us in a flea motel in rehoboth beach and I am feeling way snobby. I am TRULY paranoid I am going to leave with bedbugs or fleas.

I feel like I'm having a quarter life crisis. I'm only 24, but have already finished undergrad, grad school, started a career, gotten married, bought a house, and had a baby. I feel a little bit of regret, because I don't feel like there's as much to look forward to anymore since I did all of that so fast. I also feel like I "settled" on a teaching career because I knew I could get a job in that field, but I don't want to start all over with school to switch careers. Blah. That's depressing and not flame worthy, but it's all I got today.

You're going to be just fine

here's another story for ya:

My BFF got pregnant accidentally and we even joked that it might be twins. Then she calls me one morning and was like "it's twins!" And of course I thought she was joking again. Nope! So she had a boy and a girl all while being 100% single. The father is a douche so he's not involved at all.

She did great and her kids are now 3 and awesome kids. She went back to work full time when they were 10 months old and she always maintained her regular life. She'd still go out with friends, go away for the occasional weekend even.

You can do this! I'm super excited for you that you're having twins
