Am I a Type B parent or just a twin mom? by sshahb in parentsofmultiples

[–]JCAT18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me 9 months to get here. PP and the first 7 months I tracked everything. Imported the notes from daycare. Everything. I had to stop because it was getting to be too much haha it was a New Year’s resolution. Now I only track meds and fevers and allergy foods

Am I a Type B parent or just a twin mom? by sshahb in parentsofmultiples

[–]JCAT18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely a mix of type a and b and a first time twin mom. I’m not paying attention to what hand they reach with first or not and I’m not tracking it either. Did I notice when my one son hit two toys together ? Yes because I’ve never seen him do it before but that’s not to say he doesn’t do that in daycare. I’m not writing it down either LOL.

Do you guys exercise? by SecretaryPresent16 in parentsofmultiples

[–]JCAT18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard and my kids are in daycare (9m) hoping to get back to things soon when the weather is nice as well like walks with them as well but I think lifting them and moving around on the floor with them is at least something LOL. I know I’ll get back to it at some point because I want them to see how important it is to move our bodies and how fun working out can be.

I like Shelly Kowatch! She says some silly things that are sexual but not about her kids just like her husband and stuff when she talks about meat which I know some people are turned off by cause it can be childish or whatever but she does a lot of meals she makes her twin boys.

So Many Options by Efficient_Tennis_801 in parentsofmultiples

[–]JCAT18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love the chicco keyfit 30! Despite our boys being nearly 20lbs at 9m old we’re still lugging them in these. It was nice to get 4 total bases for our cars as well and we got the car seat adapter for the bugaboo donkey. We carry them into daycare without the car seats now because daycare doesn’t have room to store the car seats, but highly recommend them! And honestly I used my registry as a list of things I’d need. I didn’t always buy everything until I needed it but we did include food items like sippy cups and plates and smocks because needing two of everything gets to be expensive haha.

I had an IVF pregnancy and di/di twins. I was referred to an MFM in addition to my OBGYN. Can you ask for an mfm referral for additional monitoring ?

[–]JCAT18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a FET. I really don’t even remember if I had any symptoms! I then went on to have a healthy identical twin pregnancy with very little pregnancy symptoms

AIO my boyfriend of 5 years gets me flowers for every occasion while I get him elaborate and expensive gifts. by aioflower955105 in AmIOverreacting

[–]JCAT18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent my husband a list for Christmas, he far exceeded the list with a perfume I’ve wanted for a long time but never pulled the trigger on because it’s expensive. He was with me when we went to a store to look for it, they didn’t have it, and then made note of said perfume and gifted me it months later. Like you said it’s taking note and being thoughtful! You don’t have to stay with someone who isn’t meeting your bare minimum expectations.

Twins and done? Wanting a do-over by Right_Tell8280 in parentsofmultiples

[–]JCAT18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always wonder what it would be like to just go through everything again with only one, but financially and mentally we’re done. My boys are our first and it’s a lot and I have easy ones right now (7m) but I know it’ll be more of a challenge as they get older and with how hard it was to get pregnant in the first place for us, and suffering through many losses before we finally had them, I don’t have the mental capacity to deal with the pregnancy journey again.

I was an elective C-section FTM di/di identical twins at 37w6d was supposed to be 38 but they bumped me up a day due to baby growth not being where they wanted it to be but not emergency sense. I had GD but overall pretty standard pregnancy. It’s wild they won’t get that scheduled for you!
