Guys, I feel like I'm being surrounded by the idea of twins right now. It keeps popping up everywhere around me and it's really starting to freak me out. The Bump is pushing me articles about multiples, I've seen commercials, I head random conversations, and I flip open pregnancy books to random pages and it's about twins. This is too much, I need my first appointment now to make sure that these are just coincidences and not the universe

@sandbar517 I totally was thinking of you last night. We watched my BFF's son, who is 6 days younger than DS, for a few hours so she and her husband could both attend back to school night and it was ROUGH.
@mileswithmyles It's a whole different ballgame, right? ETA I think that's why moms of multiples get SO annoyed when people say, "But my kids are only ____ months apart, so it's kinda like having twins!" No. No, it really really isn't. You don't know til you live it LOL
Me, 35 Hubs, 32 Married June 2012 BFP June 2013- blighted ovum, D&C Aug 2013 BFP Oct 2013- twins! A&H born May 2014 BFP Aug 2017- EDD 5/8/17
I have a friend who had 2 set of twins in less than 2 years. I can't even begin to imagine!!!! I'm a little worried about twins this time. This is only because my BFP was super, super dark at 10 DPO. Of course this means absolutely nothing, but I like to borrow trouble!
@artlea2013 twins aren't the worse thing ETA That being said, I'm TERRIFIED of having another set!
My friend actually just had this happen. She had a B/G set about 2.5/3 years ago and she just posted on FB the other day that she's pregnant with a G/G set due in January. They aren't Clomid babies or anything. Just random. I can't imagine 4 kids in 3 years. :shudder:
I have a friend who has a set of girl twins that are in 7th grade and her boy set just started kindergarten. I'm pretty sure she deserves sainthood lol

@justsuzie ugh...I know...we are flying to DC next week and I am really really nervous and have a serious fear or vomiting on planes....hopefully I am ok all 5 hours.
I have actually been to Italy 5 times (twice with my hubby). My dad's family is Italian and my grandpa used to take us to a new region in Italy every other summer ( I know, spoiled). Husband went to Sicily with me and my family 10 years ago and then he and I spent a month in Italy together 5 years ago. I don't know what it is, but every time I go I fall in love with a new city and region. I think we will probably wait until next fall because I really do think it would be easier with a five month old than while pregnant with all of the stuff going on in our family life right now.
So I'm sitting at work and doing all this busy work today so I have Pandora on and Adele came on. I hadn't really ever listened to the lyrics of Sweetest Devotion before. I own the album and listen to it a lot but never paid attention to what the song was truly about. It's about her son. So then I found something she said about the song and meaning and I cried. Ugh, I just cried again re-reading it.
Yeah, I recorded [Angelo]. 'I want to sit next to my mummy.' You know, I was always looking for the feeling that he gives me, and I was looking for it everywhere in the wrong places, having no idea that I would find it in having a child. I thought I'd have a kid in my 30s, to be honest. And I think everyone thought I was crazy for having a baby when I did, but I feel like he was my little angel, and he came down to save me. And he did — he hit me like an explosion. It's the most shocking thing when you have a child; you can't prepare yourself. It's like, 'Oh my God. What have I done?
So I take methylphenidate ER (Concerta, and also Ritalin in the non-ER form) for ADHD. I took it the entire time I was pregnant with my first, and talked to my pcp about it when we were ttc. She agreed it would be ok for me to continue and, from what little data there is, it seems to be the safest adhd option out there for pregnancy (there's not much data in any direction for several of the drugs, really). Well, I started with a new OB practice and I get a call from the nurse that's all "so, the paperwork from your initial meeting with the nurse indicated you are taking this med. You should stop now." Um, thanks for your concern, but no. Informed patient here, thanks. So now this doc is already going to think I'm a pain in the ass. Awesome.
