March Check-in

[lastkiss]

I thought we could do monthly checkins to keep this board going. Anyone can post this or do it more frequently. Add questions you want answered.

1. How old/combo (b/b, g/g, b/g, identical/fraternal) are your multiples?

2. Any upcoming appointments or issues you have questions on or want to discuss?

3. What milestones have your multiples reached lately? Any concerns or questions?

4. How's feeding (bottle/breast/food) going?

5. GTKY: what was the first concert you went to?

1. 10 month old fraternal twin boys

2. No appts coming up. C is grumpy right now but his check up showed no health issues so I'm chalking it up to teething.

2. The boys are doing well with milestones. Both are moving like crazy, standing and moving around furniture. L is babbling a lot but C doesn't do much. Mostly yells when he's mad. Sometimes we get a "maa" sound.

3. They haven't been wanting their bottles after supper/before bed but that has caused night wake ups so we're going to try bottles then supper to see if it helps.
Night wake ups are so draining.

4. First concert was the Canadian version of Hanson - The Moffats. I was 14ish and went with my BF and her mom.

1. How old/combo (b/b, g/g, b/g, identical/fraternal) are your multiples? I’m 30 weeks along with fraternal twin boys

2. Any upcoming appointments or issues you have questions on or want to discuss? I’m meeting with an anesthesiologist this week, it’s a one time appointment before the birth. Are there any questions I should be asking specific to twins?

3. What milestones have your multiples reached lately? Any concerns or questions? Just making final checklists of things to get done before they arrive!

4. How's feeding (bottle/breast/food) going? If anyone has any reading resources for where to start researching twin feeding, I would love to hear them!

5. GTKY: what was the first concert you went to? Eric Clapton at MSG

1. How old/combo (b/b, g/g, b/g, identical/fraternal) are your multiples? 7 month b/g twins

2. Any upcoming appointments or issues you have questions on or want to discuss? The twins just had their 6 month appointment two 2 weeks ago. They're doing great with height and weight. E
E (my girl) is 18lbs and 15oz and 27.25in (more than tripled her bw) and D is 19lbs and 4oz and 27.5in (almost tripled bw).

3. What milestones have your multiples reached lately? Any concerns or questions? They are sitting unassisted and rolling boths. E can also crawl backwards. They are both very vocal.

4. How's feeding (bottle/breast/food) going? I'm weaning off pumping and should be done in another 2 weeks. They haven't taken to food as easily as my first but we'll just keep trying. I'm not stressing since they've been flying off their rowth curves.

5. GTKY: what was the first concert you went to?
No Doubt Tragic Kingdom Tour. I was in high school, it was amazing.

1. How old/combo (b/b, g/g, b/g, identical/fraternal) are your multiples? I'm 17 weeks along with fraternal twins. Due to genetic testing, we know we have at least one boy in there! Anatomy scan is scheduled for mid-april!

2. Any upcoming appointments or issues you have questions on or want to discuss? I'd love to hear some twin birth stories from the ladies of HIH. We meet with our birth team after our anatomy scan to talk about growth scans and monitoring for the duration of my pregnancy, as well as the plan for the actual birth. My doctors don't want to go much past 35 weeks, so it is crazy to think I'm almost halfway done with this pregnancy... If others are interested, I think I might post a thread to ask for some birth stories?

3. What milestones have your multiples reached lately? Any concerns or questions? I have started to feel their flutters! Can't wait for some kicks!

4. How's feeding (bottle/breast/food) going? N/A

5. GTKY: what was the first concert you went to? Incubus. It rocked my world as an eighth grader.
