Twins Comments

I have started experiencing all the "Moms of Multiples" comments from just about everyone! I think it is hilarious and I laugh to myself......

1st one ever was the best - in the RE office checking out and the receptionist heard it was twins. She asked "Do twins run in your family?". I think I laughed and was like "What???"

When I told someone it was b/g twins they asked if I knew if they were identical. Uh, no.

A mom of 3 told me she thinks a 2 year old and twins will be easier than having 3 spread out.

"Did you do fertility treatments." This is so awkward. I am a terrible liar and so I usually just say yes, we had some help. I have read all kinds of snarky come backs but I just can't do it!

I guess the most common is if they run the family - which I just reply with a simple No.

To be honest I feel so lucky to be having to answer these questions....we are having TWINS!!!

Eat eat eat!!!

At about 18 1/2 weeks my belly is getting very big - in all maternity clothes and people have started working up the nerve to ask me about it.

Feeling pretty good except for when about 2 hours gone by and I haven't eaten. I get nauseous, dizzy, headaches and some dry heaving may just happen. I have been reading Dr. Luke's book and wow, she wants me to pack it in. The sample menu is absolutely crazy. As an example you should have dinner (which includes pudding), then a bowl of cereal, then ice cream. I am trying - trying hard but not feeling successful. These babies must be growing - gotta keep feeding them!!!

In other wonderful news the varicose veins have started - these didn't show up until about week 30 with Charlotte - so yay, they are here early!

Hope everyone is doing well! I know CCRM IVF Journey is!!!
