Twins! Neat! And they might be born close to my b-day, which is one of the best b-days EVAH! So they get my blessing.
Congrats[sup]2[/sup]!!
Oh, and the best place to look at baby names is The Baby Name Wizard’s NameVoyager. It doesn’t just give you names and frequencies; it shows you graphically how the popularity of a group of names beginning with the same letters has waxed and waned over the decades.
For instance, if you type in ‘Ann’, you get to see how often Ann, Anne, Anna, Annie, Annette, and even Annabelle have been used over the years, all in one graph. Type in ‘Kait’ and you get the same for Kaitlin, Kaitlyn, and Kaitlynn. So you can see at one look how much use a name and a bunch of its variants have been getting.
Wow, congrats to you both! This is BIG news. You two are a couple of the first Dopers I ever met (Bill so resplendent in his kilt). Now you’re going to be parents. Twice.
They grow up so fast… somebody give me a tissue… ::blarrt!!::
Don’t forget that Shibb makes a wonderful name.
Congratulations and felicitations!
You aren’t the only one but I think my butterflies came from the fact that the thought of having twins (or any baby, just look at my sig) makes me want to throw up.
On the brighter side, congratulations GeoBabe! It is always nice to see someone who really enjoys children to get a couple of their own.
Congrats Geobabe!
You and I are due a week apart. This is going to be a great holiday season!!!
Dawn and I are very happy for you two and hope y’all stay healthy, happy, and sound til we see you again.
Good luck and God bless.
Yay
add a !
Many congrats, GeoBabe and Uncy Bill.
Since I’m unlikely to be heading down the twins road, you’re welcome to use any of my favourite twin names:
Gigabuck & Millicent
Kang & Kodos
Alan & Spare Parts For Alan
George Foreman & George Foreman
Deathray Charles & Mickey the Killer Clown
Control Group & Test Subject #1
I really need to hang around here more often. I knew about the twins but didn’t find the thread till it went to two pages.
Twins, Yay!
Excellent news about the baby and just wanted to say Hi to you too Robot Arm!
Twins!
Could the ultrasound see two pouches or one?
Do we get to name these kids cause you know we gots ta!
Congrats and take it easy.
Thanks for all the congratulations and good wishes!
Cool! Thanks for the link.
That is such a sweet, and thoroughly inaccurate, description of me. Thank you, my dear, and I mean that.
Aww, thanks. You should email me. Or I should email you. Or something.
Well, I know Bill will be a big help (seriously; I’m a very lucky gal), and I know my mom and sister, and Bill’s parents and two sisters who have kids are going to want to come visit after they’re born, so they’ll all get put to work. (I’ve already discussed it with Bill, and not everyone is going to be allowed to visit at the same time. No way, too much stress.) After that, we’ll see.
Two, which I’m assured is good, though they still could be either identical or fraternal and we won’t know that for a while. I’m happy either way as long as they both make it.
Congrats Lise and Bill.
Have you broken the news to Scooter?
Congratulations!!!
first - a giant congratulations!!! twins are great. my chinette’s are 4 months old tomorrow.
i hope you have help. seriously. we’ve got a night nanny, 24/7 live in, afternoon/dinner maid, one grandmother close to full time, mom is at home – and it’s still a lot of work. (thank god the one quality of life trade off that works in my favor is cheap domestic help).
seriously twins are exponentially more work than a single. you really enjoy those times when single handedly deal to inconsolably howling and hungry twins with dirty bottles and nothing prepared. the two hours it will take to get them content will feel like 100 years.
be extremely prudent when you get closer to the delivery date. having twins is very high risk, especially over 35. i certainly don’t want to make you nervous, but my youngest twin had a rough birth.
again congratulations and best wishes for a safe birth.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! That’s wonderful!
My b/g twins are almost 15 months & I’m 40. Years, not months. So I can relate. If you have any questions, let me know!
Many, many, many congratulations to the Geobabe & Uncle Bill Household on the news of your twins. We’re thrilled for you and will be crossing our fingers for y’all.
–moi, tdc & Bishop
Wow… surprise!!!
After a year of not visiting the SDMB, look what I see!!
In an impulsive act i just bought myself the privilege of posting on the board, and, hey, it was worth the 9.95$ on the first day!!!
Congratulations both of you!!
I have a 6 month old daughter now, so I know how sweet it is to be a parent!!
I am so happy:)
