Having Twins

Panda wasn't the only one with a personal admission that got posted then edited out. Lucky for me I have my iphone so I can monitor IHB 24 7 in order to catch the intimate details before a "edit'. Don't worry my mouth is <span style="font-size: 15px;">:zip: </span>
 
So mcdonna... Did you end up taking that family vacation to costa rica? We decided to goto cancun next month instead of egypt. This may be our last vacation for a very very long time. I am getting ready to become a zombie for 1 - 1.5 years.

A zombie to twins? If that is the case, get ready to be a zombie for about 5 years. Congrats, Panda!

Not yet, Costa Rica in December. My fear of flying is keeping me from looking forward to it, though. All I can think about it being on that plane for so long. :-S I love to travel but, sure enough, every time we do hubby has to drag me on the plane like a stubborn two year old. Plus, it's a trip that is definitely out of my comfort zone. I jump at every little noise while walking on the Jeffery Open Space Trail.



Sounds like you have quite an adventure ahead of you, the best kind. :)

We had very little sleep for the first year with our twins. It's more than double the work in the beginning. We went through our first year as zombies and just trying to survive. It's a hard sudden jolt to your body. Now that they are older, it's probably less work in some respects than having one. They have an instant playmate. We don't have to entertain them all the time. They entertain each other in the morning so we can rest a little longer. They've never been afraid to sleep in another room away from us since they've always had someone over in the next crib.

T-man.. i hate to break the news to you, but you did have a twin brother who went up for adoption right after you guys were both born 10 minutes apart. He was adopted by the one of the most wealthiest man in the world. Mr. Hilton. T-man, you grew up poor but you were highly educated and you've accomplished a lot with your life, but your twin brother Perez on the other hand, grew up with money and have accomplished absolutely nothing.</blockquote>


I actually refuse to read his site anymore. Hes such a douche, on so many levels. Gah

Just that you can think this way makes me very, very scared. I know you are joking, but seriously.</blockquote>


What, haven't you read your kids <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansel_and_Gretel">Hansel and Gretel</a>? Panda's plot is the stuff classic children's tales are made of. ;-)



Seriously. Soup Plantation is not exactly a fine dining experience. (No offense, Cameray.) I just always expect commotion at a joint like that where patrons are up and about, serving themselves, and it's more family-oriented. They also seat themselves which means you are free to move to a new table at any time if you want to. (Being able to make a napkin animal may come in handy here too.)</blockquote>


Yes, I guess you'd have to be an idiot to think that someone's child wasn't going to bother you at a place like that. Personally, I haven't yet hit the stage where I can go somewhere like that and actually eat (not to mention that my husband HATES buffet style food). Actually, we did go there once, I felt like a waitress, I don't think I sat down for two solid minutes with 3 kids in tow (my nephew was with us). It was actually worse than being at home.

And no, I haven't read Hansel and Gretel to my kids yet, life is hard enough without any more crazy, irrational fears running through their heads.

I'm awaiting Panda's adventure, I hope he'll post about it, does anyone know when the due date is, he seems to be very quiet? Details, Panda, please.</blockquote>


Hi Tmare,



Not much adventure going on right now. My wife is now in her second trimester and I will know the baby's sex in about a month. I know my wife was really depressed when she a miscarriage last year, but I have tell ya, The Man above Delivers. I consider the two future Panda twins as "double blessings from above". We are really hoping for one girl and one boy.. so that i can name them Jeremy and Anabella. It is amazing what type of wonderful people you can meet on IHB. JVNA was very generous to write two long PMs about his experience and advice in raising twins on an Irvine Housing Blog. Cool right?



I reread JVNA's PM to my wife today and she really really liked it. I'll keep you posted.

This ultra sound video is really funny. This dad totally reminds me of myself at our first ultra sound.

Thanks Sunshine, I'm glad that you learned a lot from this ultra sound video. Cool huh? Seriously, I sounded just like that guy on my first ultra sound visit that my wife said, "That's you Panda!"

Good luck! A friend of mine who already has 2 daughters is now pregnant with twins...and they just found out they're BOTH girls! Her husband is going nuts at the thought of having 4 daughters! He really wanted at least 1 boy.

Geez, tell your friend's husband that Panda's heart goes out to him. Poor guy. I think Awgee is in a similar situation with all girls :)

Dude, didn't your 8-ball also say that Gold was going to $300 an ounce last year?



Panda's preference.

1) Boy/Girl 33.3% chance

2) Boy/Boy 33.3% chance

3) Girl/Girl 33.3% chance



Probabilities tell me that i have 33.3% chance that mother nature will deliver my #1 preference :)
