Can I join you please?! (intro)

[mrsmcsmith09]

Hi! I am coming over from PAIF. I found out at an early ultrasound that I am having twins and while I am super excited I am also freaking out! A little background: I met my husband in high school; we were together for 6 years before getting married. We decided to add to our family late 2011 and after a year of nothing we saw an RE. DH was diagnosed with MFI. We attempted 2 IUIs and ended up canceling the second one due to a poor sample. We moved onto IVF and had success with our first FET in May of 2013. Our beautiful son was born January 2014. We decided to give him a sibling late last year so we went back to the RE and went through IVF again. Our second FET gave us a positive pregnancy test and last week we learned that both embryos stuck The twins are due in January so we will most likely have 3 under 2! My husband and family are over the moon with excitement. Don’t get me wrong I am excited and I feel blessed that both embryos took but I have moments of anxiety thinking about the logistics of two infants. My biggest fear is making sure my son doesn’t feel neglected or left out. He is going to be an amazing big brother; I just don’t want him to resent his siblings.

Sorry for the extra-long intro and already spilling my crazy onto all of you.

Here is a tall stack of pancakes (my main craving this am) for you:

mrsmcsmith09, Thanks for the pancakes! Love them! I added a few chocolate chips!

I am 33 weeks pregnant with twin girls. My DD is 20 months old. OB/MFM think I'll be delivering around 36-37 weeks... so she will be 21 months old. I share your same anxieties. The good news is, before too long they won't know what it was like to be just them. The twins will soon become their best friends. Everything will work out. I know its not going to be easy, but the real tough part will be temporary! I've talked to many MOM's and they all say to take whatever help is offered... so I plan on doing that!

Oh.. and congratulations!

Welcome and congrats! I had my twins first and then another (3U3) so not quite the same but I love seeing all three of them playing together. The twins probably don't even remember not having their little brother around and DS2 has known nothing but chaos. It all works out in the end.

Welcome! I love that basically every one of us (myself included) has introduced ourselves with an "i'm freaking out!" post. I think you'll find that this community is ridiculously supportive and a lovely size for forming good connections. Happy to have you!
