Text of the page (random words):
minute let me just zoom in here that is when i saw two beans i said before the doctor could there are two after that there were a series of holy sh ts that continued for quite some time and i don t even curse a lot a few minutes later they were confirmed with two heartbeats my two little beans had been so close that she had originally measured them together as they appeared to be one large bean i remember feeling andrew squeeze my hand tight so tight that my rings were digging into my fingers leaving a mark i had originally come to the appointment with a notebook to fill up with information and answers to questions however the doctor an identical twin herself interestingly enough knew that we were still in shock she told us to just go home and wrap our heads around the twin part first and she would answer our questions at the next appointment we stumbled to the check out desk to make our next appointment and i told the receptionist in a shell shocked kind of way that we were having twins she reminded me of my shock at each subsequent visit since she got such a kick out of it the drive home was a mixture of excitement and odd concerns all of a sudden one of us would say something like we need a new car to fit all the car seats or that means we need to buy two cribs or but we only have one car seat it was all just starting to hit us the roller coaster of emotions about having twins would continue throughout most of the pregnancy however by the time we parked the car after that first appointment andrew and i were grinning from ear to ear and saying to one another we can do this we are having twins how amazing posted by jennifer always double fisting at 10 53 am 1 comment saturday july 10 2010 stupid questions and comments believe it or not even with all the twins being born out there we get a lot of attention when we go out in public with the girls in tow some people are just absolutely wonderful and complementary and sensitive to giving mason some attention as well as the girls however the following list are the top comments questions that get under my skin i m sure that through this process of having twins i will have more to add i ll remember to post another list in the near future these are not in order of ignorance or frustration i just write as i think 1 are they twins no i just somehow conceived and gave birth to another child just days or weeks after giving birth to this one of course they are twins you moron btw i actually get this more than once a day no joke 2 from a complete stranger who saw one of my daughters wearing a blue flowered dress and the other wearing a yellow one so one boy and one girl my answer no they are both girls stranger s response but that one is wearing blue hmmmmm i guess that makes sense she must be a boy then i stand corrected i must be wrong about that 3 well you just have to sleep when they sleep right have you been around 3 kids under the age of 3 before two of whom are only a few months old obviously not otherwise you would realize that there is always someone that is awake and needs something 4 upon hearing that my girls are identical twins but that one is bigger or but they aren t dressed the same yes they are actually two separate individuals now they gain weight differently and may be seen in outfits that don t match one day they might even like different foods or have a different favorite color too i could go on and on about the statistics of identical twins having a greater chance for weight discrepancy than fraternal twins also but i just say yes there is a size difference or yes i know 5 are they paternal twins or are they maternal twins i assure you that all three of my kids have both a mother and a father but if you are wondering if they are identical or fraternal then they are identical 6 this question i understand and it doesn t bother me that it is asked however it is the frequency in which i hear it that drives me bonkers do twins run in the family when i hear this question it makes me automatically turn into teacher mode and want to spew out a ton of information about twin data i usually just respond with either yes or no depending on my mood for the day since i realize that not everyone is as interested in the statistics of twin probability as i am fyi identical twins are not a genetic thing 7 you ve got your hands full yup glad you noticed two hands three kids and yet you continue to talk to me while i m trying to grocery shop before one or all of the kids break bad sorry i m usually pretty friendly but come on one person actually said this to me and then didn t even hold the door for us note that my husband is never bothered by this comment he thinks of it as a pat on the back so obviously if you have said this to a mother of multiples you may not have offended them i m just over tired and over sensitive i m sure 8 oh you have twins my brother s teacher s neighbor s cousin s friend in high school was a twin or some other crazy connection hmmm that is cool we have so much in common let s keep talking about that while my babies are both crying 9 from a person i ve never seen before were you trying trying what trying to have twins trying to get pregnant are you really asking me if my twins happened by mistake or are you curious if we used fertility treatments or if we were having unprotected sex i don t understand the question but i do know that you are asking a question that is not appropriate since i don t know you for some odd reason i wanted to make the person extremely uncomfortable and go into a long fictitious story about just how hard my husband and i were trying loads and loads of sex however i probably would have blushed before she did so i just gave her a quizzical look instead and walked away 10 from a woman who obviously had no idea how rude she sounded as she pointed to one of the girls i ll never tell which one and said that one right there is the pretty one how do you even respond to that i refrained from leaping out of my chair and strangling the woman for basically insulting one of my daughters however then i realized how ignorant she was since i had just told her that they were identical twins the nerve of some people 11 well god only gives you as much as you can handle i understand that you may need to believe this however if god really does work this way then i think he got us mixed up with another couple that is much more together than we are 12 you got two for the price of one now i know what these people mean by this statement two babies in one pregnancy i will address this below in stupid comment 13 however taken more literally i assure you that you could not be more wrong twins are expensive super expensive we had lots of baby items from when we had our son however with two newborns on the way we were forced into buying a second of many things in addition we had to buy a new car that would accommodate two infant car seats and one for our toddler and if you could only see our bill each month for diapers and formula alone trust me we are not getting two for the price of one i wish 13 you killed two birds with one stone perhaps it is best to just stay away from all of these kinds of sayings to anyone with multiples also i hate this saying in particular who likes to talk about killing birds i guess you think it is a positive thing to get two babies with one pregnancy and to many this would seem ideal or cool those people are people who do not have multiples 14 did you know you were having twins this would be a normal question if you were asking it in the 1950 s 1970 s however there is this little thing that we like to call modern medicine with that we see a doctor throughout the pregnancy and have ultrasounds even 4d now of course i knew i was having twins i didn t show up at the hospital in labor only to find out that there were two in there we knew since i was only 7 weeks along a more appropriate question might be when did you find out you were having twins or what was it like when you found out you were having twins i ll answer that one in an upcoming blog 15 is it twice the amount of work honestly no it is infinitely more difficult to tell you the truth if it were just a matter of feeding two or diapering two then that would be 2x the work however when one does not cooperate and with babies that is often they make it much more difficult to care for the other twin and their big brother so perhaps 10 times the work would be an acceptable estimate 16 i know how you feel my kids are 14 or 12 16 18 months apart first let me just clarify that i believe being a parent is tough at times whether you have one or 10 kids and there must be challenges whether they are 14 months apart or 4 years there are pros and cons with anything however please don t tell me you know what my life is like unless you have multiples i ve had one baby and having two at the exact same time is not the same one mother actually told me that i had it easier than she did since mine were twins and hers were 16 months apart she went on and on telling me that her situation was much more difficult and perhaps it was but don t tell the sleep deprived mother of twins that have some sense 17 from the woman who cut in front of me to fill up her soda at chipotle been there done that i know what was i doing at chipotle with twins when the line is too long and there is never enough seating i was asking for trouble just walking in the door but might i add that this same woman upon entering the restaurant had her 14 year old son run and grab the only table available and save it for them even though i was in line before her does this not infuriate all of you so since she was already on my shit list i decided to answer with a sarcastic really you have twins her look told me her answer was no if she had she would probably have her other child reserving the best parking spot out front don t worry if you are one of the people that have said one of the statements above to me i am not angry i probably don t even remember that you said it see my blog on i m sorry posted by jennifer always double fisting at 7 58 pm 4 comments friday july 9 2010 i can t even pee being a parent sometimes means not always having the ability to pee and it definitely means not peeing alone with a two year old and two infants the door to my bathroom is never closed i have absolutely no privacy at all i actually have this fear that when i go back to work i will forget to close the bathroom door and someone will walk right in on me today one of the girls was having a really rough day the kind of day when you realize that you can t put her down for even a second without her screaming bloody murder so i was holding her little sleeping body in my arms and i realized i have to pee if i put her down to go then she will cry so hard and wake up the other two kids that are finally sleeping soundly so i sit and i hold it i hold it until my eyes begin to water i start to sweat and i m pushing my feet up against the couch to steady myself i try to think of something else but the only other thing i can think about is that now i also need to cough my throat starts to itch even more and my bladder is about to burst the baby moves ever so slightly just enough to jab her knee into my bladder and i honestly think that i could end up having an accident right here for a split second i consider how i can carry her to the bathroom and still go with her in my arms but i quickly dismiss the thought my mind wanders to the crazy astronaut lady that drove across country to kill someone and never stopped to use the bathroom by using depends i glance down at the pile of diapers and for a split second consider my options there no good i decide to pass the time by thinking about the other moments in time when i m not able to pee because i m a mom road trips road trips pose several obstacles for being able to pee the first one that comes to mind is that i am destined to have to go to the bathroom the very second that the kids are asleep in the car we will be driving for hours with them screaming and crying and i will be fine the moment that they zonk out i have to go i can t possibly pull over for fear that they will wake up and the crying will continue for the rest of the trip stores and restaurants or other public restrooms back when i had only one child this was not as much of an issue i was able to take my son into the restroom with me however now that i have three children it seems that it is impossible often the double stroller for the girls doesn t even fit into the restroom once at a wendy s i felt very much at home because i pushed the stroller in but couldn t close the door to the bathroom ugh parks with porta pots we love to be outside and we live in a great area where we can take in a lot of attractions d c has so much to offer however at a lot of these locations only a porta pot is available this is fine if i go to these places with my husband or another adult they stay with the kids and i brave the awful smelling stall by holding my breath and then bathing in antibacterial gel after yet what do you do when you go solo with the three kids leave them parked outside and hope someone doesn t steal them or go in and leave the door open again just like home and risk getting fined for indecent exposure airplanes the bathrooms on airplanes are barely large enough for me to fit in what do you do when you have several kids everyone i talk to about this tells me to ask the flight attendants to help sure maybe with one child but with several children yikes this actually seems so daunting that i refuse to even try it yet as i continue to think about all of this i decide to brave it and put her down yes she screams yes she wakes her sister ugh so i realize that it could be years before i get to pee and when that day happens i most likely will not do it alone posted by jennifer always double fisting at 7 02 pm 3 comments monday june 28 2010 yes we can when we found out we were expecting twins i immediately knew i needed to do a ton of research so after running to the book store and purchasing several books on twins and searching the internet for hours upon hours for information i joined a parents of multiples group i attended a new moms coffee and flooded the moms with questions i had a playgroup with another pregnant mom who had a toddler the same age as mason and we shared twin pregnancy stories i checked their online forums daily for information that could help my husband and i cope and plan however by far the best part of joining that group was when we all attended the multiples picnic once the babies arrived to say that the kids outnumbered the adults is putting it mildly we arrived with our three kids in tow others showed up with twins triplets and quads some of them had singletons in their families like us so there were kids everywhere i have to say that my husband i looked at these families and were somewhat put at ease after all if they ca...
