Re: **Twin/Multiples Thursday Check-In 1/21**
What are the most common questions you are asked when people find out you're having twins (or more): "do twins run in your family?" "Are they identical or fraternal?" "What are you going to do with twins?"
Anything interesting/worrisome/exciting you've found out at a recent appointment or sonogram?
No appointments this week so no!
How is the nursery coming along?
Ha ha haha. That should answer your question.

Anything interesting/worrisome/exciting you've found out at a recent appointment or sonogram? I have an appointment tomorrow. I really need to decide if I want to switch Dr's/midwives. I've only been thinking about it for 24 weeks. I'm just not in love with my midwife - she seems pretty scatter-brained. The midwife for my other kids moved and that office has since closed.
How is the nursery coming along? Sloooowwww. The nursery is currently the office. We are out of rooms in this house so we are also figuring out where to put 'office stuff' (in the living room in a tasteful way). We have the crib (in the basement). We know what changing table/dresser we're going to buy (Walmart). All the hand-me-down clothes are organized by size, to wash later. I still need to organize hand-me-down blankets, sheets, burp rags, etc to see what else is needed. We will buy a mini-crib later and probably set it up late summer/early fall (have the twins share a crib for a few months). It's not a big room.
Do you guys have a 'deadline' in mind where you'd like to have things set up by? I'm kind of thinking mid-March? Maybe late Feb. even?

Havent actually got a lot of questions, just "Wow!!!" "OMG!!!" "Exciting!!" I think ppl are too shocked to really think lol. they ask when they're due if that counts

The tech I had this week was awesome. She showed me the babies first thing so I wouldn't worry through the whole ultrasound (I find myself holding my breath at every ultrasound, worried about something going wrong). So that was great!
She left a note about one baby having lower fluid levels but the MFM double checked and said she it was fine. Going back again next week (they messed up and scheduled me an extra week) and then 2 weeks after that!

Ordered the cribs!! Everything has been bought - dresser, rug, curtains, crib skirt & sheets...
Spare bedroom is empty, need to start painting, then ripping out carpet & my dad will be installing hardwood. Hopefully this can happen before the cribs come! I don't see any work happening til next week at least bc we have family visiting from the states (we're in Canada). Can't wait to set it all up!!
Anyone else feel weird answering the "Was this planned?" question. Certainly, twins are pretty unexpected (especially identicals) but why ask the question in the first place? Do I ask you about your sex life?
While touring a daycare I actually had a mom there ask me if my twins were natural or if we had medical intervention. Invasive much?
The other one I get a lot is "wow are you excited?" And I've tried to test out both the "yes! So excited" and the "yes, but also nervous" answers and no matter what people always have a negative comment. I give up. Haha
And I don't know why, but SO many people asked if I was having twins when I told them I was pregnant. I think everyone just gets excited by the idea of twins, so you ladies can probably all look forward to a life time of people being fascinated by your kids!
When someone asks me "What are you, having twins?" after looking at my belly, I say "Actually I am. But you probably shouldn't ask any more pregnant women that."
