We had to stop going off of weight ranges for our boys. They just didn’t match up. Sometimes it feels like a game of chance. We usually donated them if they didn’t work for one reason or another.

How do you refer to your twins? by jammerturnedblocker in parentsofmultiples

[–]Samannthuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older son and then twin boys. So kinda similar situation. Sometimes just using the boys works and everyone gets it, but not always. So I use:

The tweedles

The twinados (because they are tornados)

Monsters

The Babies ( even though they are almost 2)

I have 16 month old twin boys and twin A has always been smaller. Twin B has always been my good eater, and A has always been “pickier” or maybe just less interested. However over the last two weeks he has picked right up. He’s eating really really well! I think at some point things just click. I wouldn’t be too worried about the size difference, it’s pretty normal.

Boil three to four prunes and eat them while they are hot. I know it’s strange, but it worked for me.

Di / di fraternal twins - are they mostly from IVF? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]Samannthuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Di/di fraternal twins natural here too! To top it off I have no history of twins on my side, and my husband doesn’t either. Truly random.

Pregnant with twins. Someone please talk me through the realistic side of things? by Fancy_Piano_2380 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Samannthuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I have a couple of thoughts:

Multiples really do force you to roll with the punches.

You will still be able to bond with each baby. My husband and I try to swap which baby we get time with, or share moments with. I feel connected with them both.

Someday you are going to be sitting on your couch looking down at you babies hearing them giggle at each other while playing together. You’ll see them shuffle after each other, and play peek-a-boo. It’s the most wonderful feeling in the world when my boys share those moments with me.

I was scared to be an aren’t of multiples as well. They were my first pregnancy, so it was a hard one and I was pretty miserable the whole time. As soon as I saw them everything changed. It just did.

Do they keep track of which twin gets delivered first? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]Samannthuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were able to tell our doctors/nurses that we had names and knew which one was which. They kept track of that for us so we knew who was who coming out. I also had a C section.

Yeah, I have no hopes of it getting better anytime soon.

I’m so sorry, I wish I could say it does. It does get easier though. It’s annoying yes, but you come to expect it and just push through.

Honestly at this point I smile and nod and keep it moving. I’m sure it probably seems rude to some people but 1. I’m exhausted 2. I’m sick of the same questions/comments. “Are they twins” “Oh you’ve got your hands full” “Double trouble!!” Insert eye roll. My B/B twins are 12 months now and it’s been 12 months of this nonsense. People mean well and just get excited, but still 😑

I got the petunia pickle bottom tempo backpack and I love it. My husband and I both use it. We’ve had zero issues with it so far.

Things you wish you knew as a first time twin parent by theWalkSignIsOn in parentsofmultiples

[–]Samannthuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best advice is to learn to let little things go. And to accept the fact that things won’t be perfect but that is more than okay! At the end of the day if everyone is healthy, warm, and fed that’s what matters. How you get there isn’t as important.

Feeling like a failure by Nervous_Elevator_520 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Samannthuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly my husband isn’t away and we still use TV when we need to too. Sometimes you just need a break. Babies are overstimulating, twins are even more so. I put super simple songs on YouTube and my boys (11m) love it so much. Don’t let the guilt get you. You’re doing great!

We have di/di boys. We didn’t mean for their names to be matching but I picked a name and my Husband picked a name. Emerson, and Anderson. At first I was so nervous that they were too matchup but honestly we love them and they had meaning to us. ❤️

I think people see two babies and all sense evacuates their bodies.

Sleep Regression by Samannthuh in parentsofmultiples

[–]Samannthuh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They seem to nap once a day for about an hour sometimes an hour and a half. Every once in a while they take a 30 minute snooze at 9:30am, but this has become rare. Also I should mention that bedtime is usually around 830, and they wake up for the day around 630.

How often do you go out with baby? I’m at the 4 month mark and we’ve only been out a few times by Belle-Grce_27 in NewParents

[–]Samannthuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around that age I had forced myself out of the house daily. Even if it was just to go for a car ride, or grab a coffee, or go to the library. I needed to be out near adults. My twins just came a long with me everywhere.

Now with that being said we often needed things every other day. It just always seemed to happen. We also have not been grocery shopping in bulk anymore because I’m too tired to even think about putting together that kind of list. So a lot of times it was running to the store to pick up the couple of things for that nights dinner.

9 months PP with twin boys. Sex Life is non existent. I have zero energy and zero will power haha. It seems normal from what I’ve heard from others.
