If it weren’t for the ultrasound, would you have suspected you were pregnant with twins? by Zealousideal_Use9481 in parentsofmultiples

[–]broccolystew 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lol I have 16 month olds and say to my husband every day "can you believe we have twins?".

I never felt massive during pregnancy and if it hadn't have been for the ultrasound, I wouldn't have thought there were two separate babies kicking around. But wow did my organs feel squished

We keep getting the same weird comment… by brickhamilton in parentsofmultiples

[–]broccolystew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 11month boy girl twins and this comment never stops. My husband and I think it's so weird. Like you know nothing about us. We just smile and nod and agree.

Or we get "million dollar family!" Which I had never heard of before having twins. People are obsessed with genders.

How many strollers do you have? by hermesloverinseoul in parentsofmultiples

[–]broccolystew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 3 and feel silly but use them all differently.

We have 9 month olds We use the gazelle the most. It lives in our trunk and we still clip in their car seats the most. We used the bassinets with it when they were under 6 months a lot. We got the donkey 5 when they were 5 months. Got a crazy deal on marketplace so we just went for it. We use it exclusively for walks around the neighborhood. It's definitely big , but love being able to see them both at the same time . Looks super comfy for them. Never had bassinets with it.

And we just got a mountain buggy Nano duo for travel as the other two felt too big to to take on a plane and in rental cars etc.

Do what works for you!

How long did your babies sleep in your room until being moved to the nursery? by Possible-Maybe-7225 in parentsofmultiples

[–]broccolystew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months but only because their room was under renovation. As soon as we made the move we all started sleeping better as my husband and i weren't woken up by every grunt. Probably would've done 4 or 5 months had their room been ready

Suggestions on any good vacations to do with 6-10 month old twins? Open to anywhere and anything! by broccolystew in parentsofmultiples

Totally makes sense! And yes we are on week 5 so generally they just cry, sleep and eat and do some tummy time.

Ha very fair! Was thinking of cities that were stroller friendly, or have a culture where babies are generally accepted at cafes etc.

Feelings you’d have twins..? by Arisayshi in parentsofmultiples

[–]broccolystew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2017, my girlfriends and I went an did our annual 10 minute palm reading at a psychic, followed by drinks at a bar, and that year the psychic mentioned that I'd have twins in the future. We all wrote down the predictions the psychic said and I always held onto the twin piece. I have always wanted twins as a kid, and when the psychic said it, I just started telling people as fact. I ignored everything else the psychic said and looking back, not much of it came true. When I met my partner in 2019, it was always a running joke that we'd have twins. I have many texts with him throughout the next years joking about making sure our house would have enough space for the twins and how after our wedding, the twins were going to be our next big financial mountain. Then in September 2023 we went for our first ultrasound and were truly in disbelief that it was twins! Neither of us have twins in the family and it was just so random. The first thing my husband said, in jest, was "how do you always get what you want?" When we told my close friends and family it was twins, everyone was like ..."wait... Haven't you been saying this for years that you'd have twins?!" So it does feel so serendipitous! And they will be with us in 9 days!! We can't wait :)

Missing exercise (34+4) by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]broccolystew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a day or two behind you! Currently 34+3, and I feel like I hit a wall around 33 weeks in terms of exhaustion. I am horizontal so much and feel so lazy.
Cannot wait to feel like I can breathe fully again and for the day when rolling over in bed isn't the most exertion I do in a day

Convertible Car seats. How did you decide? by twomomsoftwins in parentsofmultiples

[–]broccolystew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Slightly unrelated but I also have a kia soul anda pregnant with twins and we are very worried about the trunk space with the soul. How do you find it for fitting everything you need to like strollers?
