"Do twins run in your family?" (and other commonly asked questions)

Although I am not a huge blogger in the slightest, I have been getting a lot of questions about our pregnancy.  In case you are curious, here are a few of the most common ones:  

Q: How far along are you?
A: 14 weeks

Q: When are you due?
A:  May 28th. Most twins are born at 36 weeks, so I'll be good to make it to the beginning of May.  Praying I can keep them in as long as possible!  

Q: Are they identical?
A: No they are fraternal. So it could be boy/boy, girl/girl, or boy/girl.

Q:  Do twins run in your family?
A:  No. 

Q: Did you do infertility treatment?
A:  Yes. (Feel free to send me a FB message if you have any questions regarding this topic!)  

Q: How long did you do treatment?
A: 9 months. (6 rounds. We had to do a little break after one of the miscarriages.)

Q: Did you have to do treatment with your 1st pregnancy?
A: Yes. 5 rounds. 

Q: Are you excited about having twins?
A:  Yes!!!  Also scared out of our minds. :)  A 2.5 year old and two infants. MY GOODNESS.  Life will be crazy, but we are so grateful.  

Q:  How much weight do you have to gain?
A:  40-60lbs.  No, I'm not sure how I'm going to do that being lactose intolerant, unable to eat greasy foods, and totally disgusted by sweets right now... but I'm doing my best!!  

My question to Hubby... 
Q: "Do you think I can gain 40-60lbs and NOT gain any in my face?" :D
A:  "Probably not, hun."

Q: How much did you gain with your 1st pregnancy?
A: 30lb.

Q: How are you feeling?
A: Ok. 1st tri was rough, but who am I to complain about something I have begged God for?  Feeling better now.  

As I said, I'm not a big blogger.  I will try to update this periodically especially for my family that is out of town.  I'd rather post this info on a blog than all over FB.  :)  We would DEFINITELY appreciate any prayers!!!
