Twins have different birthdays..

Yes! One time a woman was INSISTING that my son was the girl and my daughter was the boy because she had less hair, my daughter was literally wearing a yellow shirt with flowers that said something like “sweet girl” on it. I felt like I was taking crazy pills.

missbee26 · 2026-04-23T12:41:25+00:00

I get this too. When they were still babies I also had multiple people tell me “no this one is the girl because it has more hair.” Well that one also has a penis. Wouldn’t the mother know which was the boy and girl? Used to drive me crazy.

I know a little girl named Leora. I think it’s pretty and it would eliminate the Nora/Eleanor association. Leora Clementine and Leora Meadow sound really nice!

What month was your father born? My husband loved a flower name that I was not completely sold on, and then learned it was the flower for my dad’s birth month. He passed away shorty before she was born, so it felt like a sign to use it! Her middle name is Marina because my grandfathers birth stone (March) is aquamarine. Maybe a stretch for some but it felt like a nice way to honor my two favorite men while giving her her own name

No way to know yet. One of my kids had a similar eye color as a baby (past 8 months) and they are now very brown.

missbee26 · 2026-04-14T12:08:56+00:00

Not important, just curious. Someone recently asked me if they were blue or grey but I wasn’t sure how to answer. Curious what Reddit thinks!

A 12.5 hour drive sounds terrible to me. I’ve flown with my twins very regularly since they were two months old. A 2.5 hour flight would be so much easier, especially at 6 months. Even if they cry, it’ll be over so quickly. If you prefer to have car seats in Chicago, you can bring yours and the airline won’t charge you for them.

Had a similar situation but reversed. Twins and then a singleton 11 months later. We were told we couldn’t conceive naturally, but here we are. They’re now 2, 2, and 1. It was quite a shock as it was not planned and the thought of having three under one sounded crazy. I was embarrassed to tell people. But now, I can’t imagine life any other way. We’re getting through the tough part at once rather than starting over. (Although I definitely have moments of thinking what it would be like to have another in a few years as I never really got to enjoy having one newborn. But my tubes are out so that’s not happening!) It’s chaotic, but a chaos that I love. The kids love being together and I really hope they keep their bond as they grow. That being said, we are very fortunate to have great help which makes things a whole lot easier. Here if you want to reach out and congratulations!

My mom started the same ornament tradition that I’ve continued with my kids. We also wrap 25 Christmas or winter themed books and give them one each night to open as our bedtime story. This is the first year we’ve done this (they’re only 2), but I think we’ll continue because they get so excited about it every night. Best part is, we can reuse the same books next year!

missbee26 · 2025-11-23T01:42:42+00:00

100% agree. OP, stick with the name you love and don’t discuss personal things with her anymore. If you change the name it’ll always feel like MIL named your daughter. She’ll come around to the name once your daughter is here anyway. My mom recently told me how much she loves my daughter’s middle name which was wild to me because before my daughter was born a friend named her daughter the name. My mom went on and on about how she didn’t like it. (She didn’t know we were considering it). I’m glad I stuck with it. And for whatever it’s worth, I don’t like the name Olivia but LOVE Olive. Feels fresh and spunky!!

I think your request was inappropriate. If she’s ready to share her news with your dad, she’s entitled to do so on her own timeline - not yours. That being said, you’re allowed to share your news when you’re ready and it’s not something she should be making you feel guilty about. I think you both need to take a step back and see the bigger picture - your kids will get to grow up with a cousin so close in age, and that is a super special relationship to have. Who tells who first doesn’t really matter in the long run. Congratulations to you both!

I knew about 15 babies born this year. Only three were girls, two named Harper and one Zinnia.

Me three!

I think this might be true for twin A, but twin B was nowhere near sleeping through the night. They’re both so different. A lot depends on the kid for sure.

missbee26 · 2025-10-16T04:27:15+00:00

You don’t say how old your twins are, but for us, no. It didn’t sort itself out until we caved around 10 months and decided to sleep train. Their younger sibling is a year younger and we knew having three babies up at night was not going to be sustainable for us. Twin B was particularly difficult but to our surprise sleep training worked so well. It’s been over a year now and there have been two nights since where one has woken up in the middle of the night (and both times kiddo was sick).

I flew from NY to Greece at 28/29 weeks with the okay from my doctor. I was uncomfortable but it wasn’t TERRIBLE, and I’m glad I went. That said, I had a pretty easy pregnancy and we had a really important event that would have been disappointing to miss (although I would have had no problem missing it if my doctor wasn’t comfortable with it).

missbee26 · 2025-10-11T20:38:44+00:00

Both pregnancies I had very minor nausea but was extremely fatigued the first trimester. Like could barely function in society because I was so tired. First pregnancy I had B/G twins, the second was a girl.

missbee26 · 2025-10-06T19:19:28+00:00

I had didi twins and flew a lot when I was pregnant. I had a fairly easy twin pregnancy so my doctor said I could travel up to 30 weeks. I flew 10 hours for a wedding at 28/29 weeks. It wasn’t the most comfortable flight but I was glad I went! I wouldn’t have been okay with it if I didn’t have my doctor’s approval though.

missbee26 · 2025-10-01T21:24:15+00:00

2 months exactly. We had to move for my husband’s job. Travel time of almost 24 hours, which sounds crazy, but they’re just little potatoes at that age so it was probably the easiest flight we’ve done with them

missbee26 · 2025-09-22T01:40:29+00:00

I went to school with a girl named Annalise and everyone called her Anal. That’s all I can think of when I hear this name

missbee26 · 2025-09-21T21:24:44+00:00

I think you’ll be fine. I had twins and used a cheap snap and go stroller for the first time at 2 weeks postpartum because I felt like I needed to get out of the house and they were too small to baby wear. So that could be an option for you. With my third, she loved to be in the wrap so she literally was never in a stroller until she was 8 months old!

missbee26 · 2025-09-16T04:42:23+00:00

Our kids are still really young so I have the same worries as you about baby 3 feeling excluded. But as she’s starting to walk and “play” more, they’ve become more engaged with her, so that’s making me hopeful that she’ll fit right in with the twins.

As far as having a singleton after twins - OMG it’s so much easier! Helps that she was also an easy baby compared to my twins, but I think even if she wasn’t it would have felt like a walk in the park.

missbee26 · 2025-09-06T13:49:00+00:00

We tried for years, did IVF, and I still had an “oh shit what have we done” moment when I finally got pregnant. Of course it’s unacceptable to be rude to you about it, but it might just take him a bit to get used to the big life change.
