Top Ten Questions About Mama Jenn's Kids

Whenever I am out with my kids, I am often asked the same general questions. I guess it is not everyday that you see a mom with two sets of twins! LOL!! This is usually how the conversation goes:

1) Are they all yours? Yes!

2) Are they [the older boys] twins? Yes!

3) Are they [the older boys] identical? Yes!

4) Wait, do you have two sets of twins? Yes!

5) Are they [the younger boys] identical? No, they are fraternal.

6) How does that [two sets of twins] happen?
SHORT ANSWER: When you already have a set of twins, the odds of having another set actually increases!
LONG ANSWER: God has a sense of humor! My grandmother had a set of twins, so I knew there was a chance I could have twins. I distinctly remember telling God that I didn’t mind having twins, I just wanted to start out with one…that way I wouldn’t “mess up” two kids (as a first time mom)! LOL! Well, apparently he heard me! I had my daughter followed by two sets of twins (with a miscarriage between the twins).

7) Are they natural? This is usually a “discrete” way of asking if we used fertility treatments.
SHORT ANSWER: Yes, the are natural!
LONG ANSWER: We did not use any sort of fertility treatments. They are all “natural.” In fact, I delivered four of my five kids completely natural…no pain medication/no epidural. After delivering one of the younger twins naturally, I had to deliver his brother via emergency cesarean.

8) What did you do when you found out you were having another set of twins?
SHORT ANSWER: I cried in complete shock!
LONG ANSWER: Well, without looking at the ultrasound monitor, my doctor (who also delivered my first set of twins) joked about me being pregnant with another set of twins. As she was slapping jelly on my belly, I glanced at the monitor (before she did) and gasped! In complete shock, I cried and my doctor laughed!

8) How does your daughter like having all those brothers? She likes being the princess, but wishes she had a sister to play with.

9) You’ve got your hands full! How do you do it? At the end of the day, I often ask myself the same question!

10) Are you going to try for another set of twins? The factory has been shut down! LOL!

    I’ve read your posts before but cannot recall if I have ever commented. We also have 2 sets of twins and homeschool. We have all girls, and they are 17 months apart in age. Our older set is fraternal and our younger set is identical! Anyway, I laughed at your answers because we get asked many of the same ones and many of my answers are similar to yours! I completely agree on God’s sense of humor. After delivering the first set at 27 weeks, I prayed that I would have another chance to experience pregnancy and ” do it again.” Well…I didn’t necessarily mean twins again! LOL. When I went in for the ultrasound, the technician asked how the girls were doing, flipped on the machine and said “Well, you did it again!” I said “That’s not funny!” She said “No really, look!” My husband said “Yup – I’ve seen that before.” HA! God Bless!

    Wow, hats off to you. I was able to deliver 2 naturally without pain meds. Not the easiet thing to do. I have three boys two were delivered naturally. I hoped for twins. In my family they skip a generation. My mother is a twin so I knew it was a possiblity. I often wonder how mothers of many especially hs moms manage. Its a challange for me and I only have three. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh my goodness, yes on God having a sense of humor and giving twins. I can’t believe how many times I’ve been asked if they’re “natural.” No they’re robots.

    I love your answers! I have a set of boy/girl twins. And when I read your answer to #7 I smiled and felt less alone in the world. I had my daughter natural and my son was an emergency C section also.

    And what’s up with the Grandmothers having twins?! At least you knew there was a history of twins in your family. My Grandmother never told me that her older brother had a set of twins and her younger brother had 2 sets of twins. This is all on my fathers side. On my mothers side there are twins and triplets. Then on my husbands side of the family there are twins. So I was destined to have a set. But like you the factory is closed I would have loved to have had 1 more, but that fear of having another set kinda put a stop to it.
