I was asked if my twins were identical over the weekend. I responded, "no, a boy and a girl." To which he responded, "Oh, is it possible for a boy and a girl to be identical?" Face palm...but I was nice since it was DH's coworker.
Got called "as large as a house" by a client today. Same client who said he would take a 0.22 to the back of his 5 year old bengal cat's head before surrendering him to have someone else adopt him to take on his medical issues. Nice guy.
In other news, I've got this mole that's normally in my belly button. Well obviously said belly button doesn't quite exist any more so mole is exposed and ripe for the picking. I'm at work today and SO tempted to cut it off with a local anesthetic.
We had so many people comment on W and Z this weekend. The best were when one mom asked if they were boy/girl or both boys, because "You just can't tell when they're this little" and the guy that stopped to talk for a minute and told me he had 9 year-old b/g twins and warned us that they can be totally different, then noticed that ours definitely are.

DVMmomma, wow, your client is a giant butthead! I'm so sick of being told how huge I am, over it, so over it!
It might sound good to remove the mole but will you have to suture, will it rub against your sheets or pillow when you are trying to get the 2 hours of decent sleep you may get tonight? All things I would consider before removing...

So a similar story - we were at the pediatric cardiologist with baby girl. Doctor asked me to give him some background - I said she is a twin and her brother is in the waiting room.
Without missing a beat, he asked me about my pregnancy - specifically if they had separate placentas, sacs etc
I looked at him and said "well, yes since they are fraternal."
He started laughing and said, "that's right, you said brother. I promise that I went to medical school." 😂

Yes I suppose these are reasonable considerations. I'd probably have to suture it and then I'd probably just break those sutures because of all the tension. Way to be reasonable 😪

I just dropped the babies off at daycare for the first time. I'm still crying. Luckily, they knew how traumatized I was and they texted me a couple pictures.
I had my first full night of sleep in ages last night. Babies slept 12 hours, the cats found places to hole up for the night, and the dog even let me sleep until 6. I feel so much better. This was exactly what I needed.
My dad bought us a new dishwasher (he's putting ours in his rental house) and is going to install it tonight. I'm so excited to have a better dishwasher.

Being sick when the twins are sick is a special sort of hell. They kept me up with their coughing for 2 nights and now I've been up coughing for another 2. And screaming whiny babies are doing wonders for this splitting headache.
I took A in to the pediatrician yesterday essentially because he's being an asshole and we can't figure out why. I do appreciate that my pedi booked us right away based on that exact description. Thank god she gets me

Big hugs!! It's harder on you than it is on them by far! But it does get easier. I'm so glad they sent some pictures! Those help so much!
Two weeks in with twinset#2, I think twins,are easier the second time around (not *easy*... easier ;-)
I guess you know what you're in for so maybe you were mentally prepared for the misery? 😂😂
😛 Partly that. Overnights are still brutal, but I know what is beyond the difficult first few months and it's totally worth it.
I'm actually loads happier this time, too. My life didn't completely change with the second set because I already adjusted to having kids and a lot of non-baby stressors are better or gone.
On a related note, I think I'll be much calmer if I ever need a c-section again because I know how surgery and recovery work. It's hard to have faith that at two weeks I'd feel mostly recovered when at one week I still felt like I got run over by a bus. I do not handle unknowns well at all. MH seems to do that a lot better, so I'm trying to learn from him.

If you ever need a c section AGAIN? Girl are you crazy? What if you end up with 3 sets of twins?! 😝

Then I won't know how much easier it may have been with one baby at a time

This was my thought exactly. nomnom, girl, you cray
hollyberry I didn't think I was ready either but circumstance sort of pushed me into it... And now I'm so glad I did because now I know I can leave them and it will be ok!
pbandj714 The trip was good, thanks for asking! H had a job interview and I came to check out the area so it wasn't exactly restful, but I really liked the community and the weather was beautiful.
Anyone have any store recommendations for cute Boy/Girl twin outfits? I've gotten many hand me down cloths but would like a few Twin coordinates for outings/family events.
