Hi! I am new here and I just found this section but there haven't been any posts for awhile. Is there anyone out there with twins or more?

Hi! there are a few of us :). I'm Rivka and my twins just turned a year old! I have 3 older boys as well.

Welcome to Amity!!

My girls just turned 5 !!!
Hello!!!!!!!!!!

My twins will be 2 in Jan. I would love to see this forum get more active!

My b/g twins are 15 months in a few days ! Welcome !:)

Leng, did the dr.s tell you why your babies had such different weights?

No, Rivka, my doctor did not till this day say why they were having such a big difference in weight except that Christopher stopped growing when he was 24week in utero !:wah:
Emily is now walking all over the place, climbing the stairs while Christopher is pulling up to stand ! He continues to have in-home visit from a physio, an early interventionist and a dietitician.:eyes:
You twins are so adorable ! I wish mine would hurry up and grow some hair !:)

ive got b/g twins due in Jan! :) would love to see this board more active!

all of my kids come with hair! LOL

We're expecting twins too, 40 week due date is in March. Hopefully we'll find out the sex of the babes this monday.

My twins are 32 months - will be 3 in Feb. They were 32 weekers, Megan was 4 lb, 3 oz, Maribeth 2 lbs 8oz at birth. I also have 3 older children who were 2,3 and 4 when my twins were born.

My b/g twins were born on June 22 of this year, so they're three months and some change. I'd love for this board to be more active too, though I only get on the computer once every couple of weeks or so right now! :rolleyes: I have an almost-four-year old boy as well. My babies are healthy and happy and roly-poly on nothing but nursing :heart: and I'm so grateful for all that... I have to say, though, that it's pretty hard to keep up with the baby care and the kid care and the house care. It does get easier, right...?

I have 9.5 month old frat twin boys!

um ya, sure right... Some days are easier whereas others are still very difficult. Maybe when they are 2 - oh wait those are bunch of tough months - maybe at 3 it's easier. The difficult things change and what was difficult becomes easy, but what was easy might be difficult. Right now, I'm having really difficult nights again. Last night was lilke the 4th night in a row that I've been up for the majority of the night.

:wah: I totally have high hopes in my head, like "Oh, it'll be so much easier when they're walking and can entertain themselves," stuff like that. I hadn't thought of two having an entirely different set of rules! And I have heard other twin moms give entirely different versions of when "easy" happened. I'd be curious what you all experienced--When did it get easier for you all?

My twins (boy/girl) will be 12 in November. Oddly enough, my twins were the only pregnancy that went to term. I was finally induced at 39 weeks due to pre-eclampsia. They were 7 lbs 1 oz (Baby A Girl) and 7 lbs 8 oz (Baby B Boy).

Don't get me wrong; some days are easy. The time flows, we move on, one thing to the next. Sometimes the nights are very long - I nurse one, nurse the other, the first wakes again, and nursing takes hours in the night - so I never truly sleep. During the day, my clingy one likes to grab my legs, wrap his little arms around me, and hold on - for dear life. I end up stuck: in the hallway, in th kitchen, walking someplace, but not moving.
The best is when they look at each other, knowingly, laughing, crawling off - quickly (lets say up the stairs, laughing hysterically) or when they roll the ball to each other, or when I'm tandeming and they look each other in the eyes - not breaking contact and they hold hands.
I wouldn't change this time for anything in the world. I'm so blessed; G-d has given me the greatest gift. I have amazing children. One day, down the road a ways, I'll get to sleep in one solid chunk, but until then I am savoring every moment - trying to remember every caress that I give my babies - running my hand gently over their faces, watching them smile, laugh, throw their heads back. Let me tell you: I'm in love.

Thank you for your response! I do work hard to appreciate my babies for the amazing creatures they are, as well as for their "twoness". At two months they were gazing at each other and smiling happily--now, at almost four months, they giggle at each other and touch each other's hands and faces. So amazing.

Funny, I went full term with my twins (39 weeks) and they broke my water because I was showing signs of preeclampsia also. Two hours after they broke my water, my boy and girl were born! Nothing like preeclampsia for a fast labor, apparently. Yikes!
