Yikes! I haven't given much thought to twins! Don't scare me like that. That would be three generations in a row in our family. How about you Sheryl? Do you think there could be two in there?

Well I'm preparing myself as if there is two in there. That is why we've waited two years so that incase we did have twins we wouldn't have three daycare bills....
Kelly I think it would be kind of fun to have twins. What do you think?
I had talked to my OBGYN about the chances of having twins. She said that it could take up to the 5th month to determine if there would be twins. I guess the egg can seperate and become one off and on through those months that it is hard to determine until then.
Kelly & Nat are you going to find out the sex of the baby? I would like to, but Eric doesn't and I know if I knew it would be hard to keep it a secret.

Oh this is so much fun. I love all this chatter about babies
No I don't want to know the sex... sure it would be nice for picking out clothes, colors, etc.....
But I'm am really looking forward to the birth with me not knowing. It is a present I know I am getting, but have NO clue what it is...until it gets opened in 9 months.
I'm going to love it!
Now remember Kelly, don't lift heavy things are you feeling okay? maybe you should reset Would you like some water? are you comfortable? don't stress yourself out.
LOL okay I'll stop.. Just trying to get them out of my system so I don't drive Sheryl Crazy

I think it would be fun to have twins, but keep in mind that I'm a first timer! Two babies at once would be a lot to handle.
I actually don't have any symptoms, except I'm a little tired and I have to pee a lot. But I don't feel sick (yet).
How are you feeling Sheryl?
And Eric, I'll have to give your list of questions to Nate to make sure he is asking me all of those things on a regular basis
Nate doesn't want to find out the sex of the baby. As for me, I'm not sure yet. It would be nice to plan ahead and buy clothes at the end of season clearance sales, but then again there are so few surprises in life....

Yes, that would not be as much fun to have them the first time. Need to break you into this parenting thing before having two at one time.
My Aunt at 19 had a set of twins the first time then a single child and another set of twins.....needless to say she had a nervous break down when the second pair came. She didn't think she could do it again....have another set of twins. Today though she is a daycare provider for many children...
Very true Kelly, very few surprises in life. Good way to think about it. I'll have to remember that when I want to know. If it is twins we will defiantly find out the sex if possible.
I'm feeling very tired, emotional and pee a lot. Otherwise, no sickness yet. I don't think you'll get that until after the 8th week if I remember correctly.

I love this new look for the expecting parents. The pins are perfect, even though you guys now days use pampers!
But for the grandparents, we do remember using many diaper pins.
Thanks for making this site interesting all the time. I love the changes.
For Sheryl and Kelly. I never had a sick day when I was pregnant. I was one of those people who never felt better. I loved being pregnant! Enjoy it and try to think twice before you say or do something with the different emotions.
The two of you will fly through this with flying colors. Don't forget, the dads also go through different emotions. Why I have no idea but they say they do. I think it is just the idea of being a dad and how your life changes.

Here`s something you might want not to say or do , thought it was pretty funny
A couple had been married for about 15 years, and one fine summer day as they are out working in the yard, the man tells his wife, "Man, your butt is getting fat!" She gets ticked off and moves to another part of the yard. The husband follows her and says, "You know that gas grill over there? I'll bet your butt is as big as that grill. It's huge!" The wife gets really mad, tells him HE can finish the yard HIMSELF and she goes inside. Then the husband, still playful and fixated, finds a yardstick, measures the grill, goes inside and measures his wife and says, "Yup, they are both the same size." The wife doesn't appreciate his sense of humor and is livid! She doesn't speak to him the rest of the day. When the man comes to bed that night, he cuddles up next to his wife and says, "Hey honey, how 'bout it? She thinks for a moment and pulls away. "What's wrong?" he asks. She answers, "you're crazy, if you think I'm gonna fire up this big ass grill for one little weenie!"
LOL

I really can't wait. I'm excited to be able to do those things. I know that will wear off quickly the 3rd night it happens. But I love kids!
I know my life will change a lot. I'll be lucky if I ever play Counter Strike or the new one coming out. Maybe on the occasional weekend but that is about it. That is why I/we are trying to get all of our projects done now... So next summer our big project will be BABY.

My pregnancies were like Vonnie described. No morning sickness. Some fluid retention at the end but not bad. I was very large when I was pregnant with the twins but I didn't actually gain much more than when I had Greg. I worked until 3 weeks before Greg was born (summer school ended then) and 2 weeks before Tania and Kelly were born. Delivery uneventful. Twins were one footling breech and one posterior (most common). Pregnancy was a very enjoyable experience for me. I wish the same for both of you.

Did you go early with Tania & Kelly? My mom had Sheleen & I a month prior to her due date. How soon before you had them did you know they were twins?
posted
I was due around May 30. I found out May 1 that it was going to be 2. They were born on the 15th. 6 lb.8 oz and 6 lb 9 oz. Big enough to keep. Greg was 8 lb 11 oz so they looked small to me.

Wow...so the girls were only 2 weeks early! They say usually they'll come a month prior. That was about the size we were, but I understand that we were a month early from mom's due date. Mom did find out until 2 weeks prior to having us that she was having twins. She'll have to tell you the story. She ended up canning a ton of stuff before we were born and we still had some when we graduated from high school. That's how much canning she ended up doing.
