Just found out there are TWO!!!!

I am 6 weeks prego and last Friday we saw to yoke sacs instead of only one!!!! I was only 5 1/2 weeks so one had a heartbeat and the other did not. I am a bit concerned but feel like they will both be beating this Friday for my next ultrasound.

Anyway, YIKES!! Am I prepared for this? After 4 years of trying to get pregnant, I know that this is a blessing but it is very overwhelming.

My main concern (and it may sound silly) is - will I be able to leave my house the first year?? Good grief!!! For instance, I went to Target this weekend and saw tons of new moms with ONE baby going up and down the aisles and thought - that is certainly not possbile with two is it????????????

" I am a twin myself and I can tell you it is hard but my mom had us and a two year old and a five year old, and she was able to live like every other mom. It all depends in how you raise them. I learned from a very young age that in order to go out , I had to be quiet. As long as you teach them to be good and dont go out too much at first, you should be fine. "

" i had that same feeling..i was terrified.
you will be able to leave the house..it'll just take some organizing (feeding times, etc). A good diaper bag (fanci-free bags are big and wonderful), and a very good stroller (peg perego duettes are very durable) are a must.
good luck! "

" Congrats! I do understand how you feel, I have twins that will be 2 May 30th. To answer your question, yes it's possible if you do not get in a hurry and do not allow others to rush you. Take the time you need wherever you need to feed, change diapers and do not get rushed. It's difficult but not impossible. I can only say that as they get older, it's easier somewhat. I thought I was going to lose it many times, but I didn't, we are all still here and well....enjoy your pregnancy. I felt honored that God gifeted me with two more children when my youngest at the time was 20 and gone from home...why me at times and then thankfully me at other times.

" Hi there,
Yes, you can do anything you want with 2. My 1st pregnancy was my identical girls. I learned to be a mom with 2 instead of one so i had nothing to compare it to. I had tons of support with a wonderful hubby and my Mom lived 5 miles away. You will survive. My girls are 26 now and today I found out I will be a Grandma again.Whooohooo "
