Twins/Multiples Roll Call

I searched and saw a few mentions of twins but not a specific thread. Please pardon me if this has already been done.
Who else is having twins/multiples? Are you interested in a weekly check-in?
I have almost 9 month old b/g twins and am currently 7w1d pregnant with di/di twins. My only symptoms so far are minor nausea, major exhaustion and occasional cramping.
My first set of twins came at 35 weeks so I expect these ones may make their debut in June but I'm still going to hang out here, too, in the interim.

Re: Twins/Multiples Roll Call
Lol of course! The more, the merrier. Especially since it seems I'm the only twin mom and that is going to make for some boring weekly check-ins...
Also, congrats! Two sets of twins would be the most amazing chaos! I love it!
So many props to you @iSalsa !!

Yes and that about sums up my poor husband's face when we found out! Thank you. Congrats and best wishes to you!
Yay! Congratulations!! I'm happy to have some company
My son had severe reflux due to a problem with his trachea and had to sleep on an incline so he actually slept next to me in a Rock n Play (at the recommendation of hospital staff) until he was able to lie flat and sleep in his crib.
What's the deal with identical twins not being genetic? My mind is blown! Not knowing anything about it I always heard and assumed that twins are more likely if they run in the family (fertility tx aside). Is that not the case???
Congratulations and welcome! 6 weeks is still early to detect a heartbeat so there is definitely hope; I agree, stay away from Google! My Baby A measured a couple of days bigger than B throughout my whole pregnancy and it was never a concern. (Funny thing was B was bigger by 7 ounces and an inch when they were born.)
Anywho, lots of hope to you that your little one catches up, which I think he/she will!
P.S. I'm AMA, too!
Congratulations! Good luck tomorrow & keep us posted!!
We bought two of everything but other than the obvious things like cribs and carseats, I can't stress how much the Rock n Plays changed our lives. Before we had them, we held the babies all day long and never got anything done. So in addition to the reflux miracle the RnP was for my son, they were great for setting the baby in and when they got a little older (6 months), I would give them their bottles simultaneously in them. They also fold up so they aren't obnoxious when not in use. (We have two Mamaroos, too, which were awesome for the first month but my babies both hated them after that. I'm hoping to get some more use out of them with the new twins because those things aren't cheap.)
Again, other than the obvious things like carseats, cribs, stroller, etc., you really only need diapers (you can never have too many, we seriously underestimated this and ended up going to the store constantly); onesies; sleepers; we used a crap ton of burp cloths daily (but not everybody finds them useful); enough bottles/nipples for a whole day if you are formula feeding (it's amazing how little time you have to do anything at first and the last thing you want is two hungry, screaming babies while you scramble to wash/sterilize bottles). I'll add anything else I think of...have to get my munchkins dressed
They also have one with a column for breastfeeding if you are going to bf.
Edit: I don't know why the url isn't clickable. I'll add a screenshot.
I just want to thank everyone on this thread for their support, especially @iSalsa. Our second US today shows no heartbeats at 8w3d, and my D&C is scheduled for Friday. I wish all of you the healthiest and happiest pregnancies! Thanks again for everything!
I am so sorry for your losses. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I wish you the best in your future journey xoxo.
