Expecting Multiple Check In (5/23)

I figured those of us with more than one bun in the oven hasn't checked in in awhile. I hope you all are doing well!
1. How many are you expecting?
2. What kind are they (fraternal/identical)?
3. Do you know what you are having? If not, when do you find out?
4. You're biggest fear right now carrying and/or raising multiples. Any questions you have?
5. GTKY: If you could go back to any time period in your life, when would it be? (college? High school? Summer camp? Etc...)

2. What kind are they (fraternal/identical)? Fraternal
3. Do you know what you are having? If not, when do you find out? I find out on my birthday!! 5/27
4. You're biggest fear right now carrying and/or raising multiples. Any questions you have? I feel like it's going to be super challenging with having a 5,4 and soon to be 3 year old already. Adding two is crazy!!

I'm not quite sure how to answer this lol.
2. Almost certain fraternal.
3. Not yet
4. My biggest fear is something going wrong. It has been consuming my mind since we found out its twins. I know three people who had twins and they all had complications. Two girls had a lot of pregnancy complications (like strict best rest laying only flat for 6-8 weeks) and the other girl *TW* lost a baby after birth. So I've been worried about everything every day. Plus I work in the medical field, so I see what goes wrong on a daily basis. My biggest fear after having them is just being able to stay sane and have the patience for them and my son.
5. I would go back to my early college days. Those first couple years were awesome. Being on your own, hanging with friends, being on campus with the college feel. I loved it all!
2. What kind are they (fraternal/identical)? Identical (mo/di)!
3. Do you know what you are having? If not, when do you find out? I'll hopefully find out on 5/29! We're going to an elective place while we're in Boise visiting family. With #1 we went to an elective place in New Orleans because DH was stationed there for most of my pregnancy, and #2 was here in San Diego, so we thought it would be fun to find out in a different state for each one. Because why not?
4. You're biggest fear right now carrying and/or raising multiples. Any questions you have? Carrying... Same as @curlyq423... I'm really worried about something going wrong with one or both, and I'm really worried about premature birth (although I have a super long torso so I'm hoping the extra space will do me a twin mama favor

I would go back to law school and not have a boyfriend. I think I missed out on a lot of good, lifelong friendships because I spent so much time with a guy I knew wasn't right for me. I'd especially like to go back to the part where I studied abroad in London, and I'd make it a year instead of one semester if I could. Such an amazing time!
Whenever we tell people I'm pregnant with twins (with our current two present) they almost always looked shocked/disgusted and say something like "omg I'm sorry! ... I mean... congratulations!" Thaaaaaaaanks!
2. Fraternal
3. At our 15 week scan, the doc said 70% sure one is a girl and 90% sure the other is a boy. I have a scan next Thursday to confirm or deny that prediction.
4. Something going wrong whether before or after birth. I just hope they are healthy.
5. I'd go back to when I met my husband and spend more time together since life now is pretty chaotic with kids and work.
2. Identical!
3 #teamgreen We already have a boy who will be just over 2 when they are born. We figure why not!
4. Oh goodness. What am I not worried about. TTTS for one (which means more scans of the babies), something bad happening (I am an L&D RN so sometimes I know to much), and how they heck I am gonna handle 2 newborns and a my crazy toddler!
5. I would go back to college days. Man, that was fun! I would just start dating my hubby sooner!
