- Riley and Logan are due 4/9/12. I am often asked if that's the "adjusted date" for twins. It's not... they don't make an adjusted date, because there is no way of knowing when they will arrive. The due date is just a "suggestion" at this point, although they definitely won't be after that date!
- Twins do not run in my family. Now I realize that I have learned a lot myself about twins, like that identical twins are pure chance and fraternal are genetic, but I have since been asked a lot of silly questions multiple times. My favorite is when people ask if twins run in Steve's family. Really, logically, does that make any sense at all? How would his family history affect the number of eggs I release? Sometimes people ask how its possible that I'm having twins if it does not run in my family...but I like to remind them it has to start somewhere!
- If you hadn't guessed it, we are about 99% sure they are fraternal twins. We can't be 100% sure without a blood test. They are di-di, which means they each have their own sac and placenta, but we can't be 100% sure because technically they could have split early.
- It is not uncommon for fraternal twins to look as though they are identical, which was news to me! Steve and I are both hoping that they look like brothers but don't look alike. It would be easier on everyone. Either way, we are completely against dressing them identically. I don't even think we'd put them in similar outfits in different colors...
- A lot of people have asked if we are nervous about Penguin at all. Honestly, we are more nervous for Penguin than about her! She is a bundle of love and has been around small children before. my concern is that when the boys get older they will be pulling on her and trying to ride her and squeeze her and she won't run away from them.
- Yes, I will be returning to my job after maternity leave. Mostly because I like my house and want to keep it. I've been asked a lot lately about when I plan on leaving school, and the answer is not until they make me, or I'm ridiculously uncomfortable. Whatever comes first!
