And I totally hear you for feeling bad when your BIL said that comment about 38 1/2 weeks. I’m sure he didn’t mean it that way, but obviously it’s a sensitive topic for you so you’re entitled to be annoyed at him.

She should have taken advantage of the opportunity to get closer to you.

My brother & SIL also had twins naturally, but the day they found out (at 16 weeks!), my SIL said, “I have to tell Rachel” so they told me first. Only family knew before the birth. They’ve since had another set of twins, born the week of my d&c – but my SIL is such a good and caring person that I felt only happy for them…

I would feel the exact same way! Even now when I hear of someone getting pregnant with twins I totally have this weird nagging feeling. Almost like MY pregnancy was unique not anyone else’s. *I* want to be the only special one that experienced this different sort of pregnancy. OK, it does sound horrid, but at least now we know we’re not the only ones that feel that way :-)

But, of course they are. I’ve got 2 sets in my family.

I would and have felt totally the same way. I get that way with people who have had their second since I started trying. So frustrating. Don’t feel bad at all…you have every right to feel that way.
And I agree with the other people. They will be so tired of the other babies and so excited to see yours. Especially because hers will still be boring newborns, and yours babies are fun and interactive!!!

I would feel the same exact way. I DID feel the same way when like 8! of my friends ended up being pregnant and due the month after me. And I was the only one with twins. And I was the first one due. But still, I was so annoyed at all these “naturally conceived” babies that I felt like were stealing my thunder. I FINALLY got pregnant, and I had to SHARE it. I think it’s normal to feel the way you feel. And what’s a blog for, if not to bitch about others??

I would so, so be feeling the same way, re. stolen thunder. But like Chas says, everyone will be so over their babies by the time you get there … especially considering your beautiful babes can DO stuff, and interact, and smile. Yours are just better HA.

Well, well done on your March of Dimes walk, in the rain and everything!!

That picture below of Soleil giving you the finger … she looks like the Mastermind of the Entire Universe!!! Too hilarious!

xoxoxo

By the time you guys get there everyone will be so over those new babies and so ready to meet your girls!!

I bet yours are cuter.

Actually, my SIL & BIL had a boy when they weren’t married yet and then decided 10 years later to try again…worked right away. They wanted the sex to be a surprise and, of course, they got their perfect baby girl. She was born right after we found out we were facing IF so it was very hard for me to swallow. We were there when their baby girl was born and I had to turn my back to the nursery window because I was crying…they thought out of joy but, not so much.
We’re only human…
