posted this is parenting too

I know it would be hard ( we have A LOT of kids and one is a 6 month old) but my almost 4 y/o was a twin and i lost her brother at about 16weeks. I really feel like i missed out. kwim?
it was a while ago but I still feel sad when I see pictures of twins or twins around town.

I secretly wish that this baby was a twin too.....

is that weird? I probably need therapy lol

No i dont think its weird.. Esp if you lost a twin. That is still a loss.

I have had a lot of people tell me i am sooooo lucky for having twins. I kinda chuckle.. But i totally get where you are comming from too.

I always did.. and then we were pregnant with twins this time (My 3yo predicted it before we knew, said it was twin boys) but we lost Baby B to a SCH around 8wks.. (DS predicted that too!) So I mourn the loss and will probably always wish I had twins.. but alas, we are almost done having bio kids so I doubt I will ever get it..

Yes-I have always wanted twins. Identical twin girls to be exact. lol I don't see it ever happening though, if you read my siggy you will probably agree.

I could understand if you had lost a twin, but I would be really overwhelmed with twins. My DH though REALLY wants twins

He always tells people he's "saving up for twins"

I was really hoping this pregnancy would be twins. I want more kids just don't want to be pregnant again haha

I've ALWAYS wanted twins!

I always wanted/want to have twins

I have twin brothers and have always been fascinated by twins. They are double the work, so I'm not so sure I'll feel left out if I never have them. I do think it would be really cool to go in for your ultrasound and to see two heart beats... Sorry for your loss mama.

Everyone keeps telling me this pregnancy is twins & I hope they are right. I may change my mind if it turns out that way!! lol...
My mom says I'm nuts for wanting 2 (or more!!) at once...maybe she's right???

I can understand why you want twins since you lost one before.

Twins are hard-not gonna lie. And a lot of times I feel bad because I can't give each one as much one-on-one attention as I feel they deserve. But it is also rewarding and I love that they have each other.
