Congratulations! Insert clever Lithonia reference here that I can’t think of right now but would be really funny because I used to live in Conyers! ---

Congrats to you & **UncleBill**!!! I can’t believe how early you found out … wow. We found out March 17, and I’m due November 20. How did you find out so soon that it’s twins? They don’t listen for heartbeat(s) here until the 10th week (which I’m JUST shy of so they wouldn’t try when I had my check-up today … :mad: ), and no ultrasound until about week 16-20. ---

Since I’m 40, and have had several miscarriages, the doctor whipped out the ultrasound at my first visit, most likely to make sure there was a heartbeat. Surprise! ---

And to think, we sat and shared a meal. -sniffle- 🙂 Or two. Gosh, **Geo** , how completely beautiful. I don’t suppose you would go for **Doper One and Doper Two** as name? A nod to Cecil AND Dr. Seuss. Just so you all know, **Geobabe** is without a doubt one of the most physically fit women I have ever encountered in my entire life. This woman exudes strength, calm and warmth. No doubt her excellent health will be a boon to the little ones. Her babies are so damned lucky, and they won’t realize it until they’ve driven her gray. 😃 I wish for you all an enjoyable pregnancy and a lifetime of love and happiness. 🙂 Cartooniverse ---

> [@Geobabe](#): > > I’m 12 weeks along now, theoretically due November 2, though twins usually come early. I 'spect I’ll be ready for them to long before then, since I’m gonna be big as a house. I saw the doc this afternoon, and everything looks great, they’re growing just fine, and despite being queasy and tired all the time, I’m feeling pretty good too. Kewl. My birthday is November 2. I know. It’s not exactly likely to happen, but it’d still be pretty swank if it did. Congratulations **Geobabe**. 😃 ---

> [@Geobabe](#): > > Oh, and by the way, for anyone who’s not aware, **UncleBill** is my babydaddy. Yeah … I was gonna do the whole nekkid happy pregnancy dance, but I figured since you’ve already seen **Bill** , me doing it would be ever so slightly underwhelming. I guess the clothed one will have to suffice 😃 ---

Congrats! Do plan on having help around the house, or at least **Unclebill** around the house`to help. A close friend of mine had twins last year (her first birth - is it for you?), and it’d just been hell for her until they decided to shell out for a part-time housekeeper (four days a week) and a full-time nanny. I think this is slightly excessive, but having spent an accumulated two weeks of babysitting for her, I can assure you that when I say slightly, I mean only slightly.
