Just found out yesterday! Intro
Hello, my name is Meredith and we just found out yesterday we are having twins! I had a MMC in September so I went into the sono at 6w2d just praying for a healthy bean with a heartbeat...twins wasn't even on my radar. The tech found a baby, took all of the necessary measurements and HB, then moved the wand to check my ovaries. Lo and behold, there was baby B! I think my husband almost passed out and I burst out laughing because what else was I supposed to do LOL.
We have an 18 month old daughter named Emily, so we will have 3 under 3 .
I thought our 2nd baby would be easy...we went through it before so what's another? Kidding, kinda sorta
This changes everything!
I'm looking forward to learning about multiples, sharing stories and offering support where I can

I'm also not sure what we will do about child care. I currently work PT and DD goes to daycare 3 days a week and have had this arrangement since DD was a year old. I could SAH but I'm not sure I want to. I kind of hated it after 6 months with DD. My plan after #2 was to go back FT but I don't want to work just to pay for daycare or a nanny. What do you guys do?

As far as the child care situation, I am home full time because my husband works very long hours (and also travels over night for work). For the first 2 months I had a lot of family helping me during the day and we had a baby nurse come at night (11pm-7am). After that, we hired a live in nanny Monday-Friday, she goes home on the weekends. My older daughter goes to preschool 8:45-12:45 Monday-Friday. I realize I have a lot more help than some other people, but I honestly still feel like we are very busy here, especially in the mornings and evenings is when it gets crazy. I completely understand why you don't want to be a SAHM, it gets very tedious and if working makes you happy then you should do it.

I do not have a minivan but I want one! I have a 3rd row and DD1 sits there. I turned her FF at 26 months just before the twins came.
My kids all go to daycare. I was not cut out to be a SAHM so it works for us.
