No man, I already called getaway driver!Congratulations! By the way I took evasive driving classes last year and I know how to make home made c4 sooo... if a spot on your crew is still open...
We gotta have multiple get away vehicles man. See I go in and blow the vault. Then drive us away in some fast ass car to the location you're waiting at where we ditch the car used in the job and you drive us away to saftey. That way if anyone saw me you would be driving and not me so they wouldn't suspect us. #Teamwork.No man, I already called getaway driver!Congratulations!

Congrats on your twins! Boys, Girls or Boy and Girl ? ? Identical or Fraternal
Not yet for us. when we go back at 16weeks they hopefully can tell us then.
And great I got my getaway driver !
If it wasn't for the wall I would have been on the floor ! I sat down real quick
It's a miracle I am hoping I go natural ! LOL thanks brotha
I was white as a ghost with jaw dropped my wife said she wished she took a picture
I like your way of thinking . . Start making a lot of C4 cause if I find out I'm having twin girls we aren't hitting no bank we are hitting the mint! I'm going to pop in on the firearm forum and see if I can hire myself some gunmanWe gotta have multiple get away vehicles man. See I go in and blow the vault.

Ours are identical girls. Get ready for like a million doctor appointments and ultrasounds. Whoo wee, that'll zap your cigar budget!
I will say it's the most fun we've had with babies... its a little insane, like a party that gets out of hand, but it's a lot of fun.Aww that's beautiful. I am hoping for girls b/c my son is a mama's boy and I don't matter, but as long as they are healthy it really don't matter what they are. you aint kidding about the doctors apt it seems like we are going to be there every other week. Were your girls in separate sacs? with one placenta ? sorry for the question just trying to figure out how this identical fraternal thing works.Ours are identical girls. Get ready for like a million doctor appointments and ultrasounds. Whoo wee, that'll zap your cigar budget!

Fraternal = two eggs dropped, both got fertilized.Aww that's beautiful.

Identical = one fertilized egg split. There are generally three kinds of identical twin pregnancies: If they split early enough, they will be di-di twins, who have separate placentas and sacs. Ours were the middle kind, mono-di, which means that they had two sacs but shared a placenta, which is riskier because of the risk of blood transfusion or discordant growth. The riskiest kind is mono-mono, where they share both a placenta and a sac.
We were already high risk because my wife is small (5'0", 100lbs) and we had two premature babies in the past (32 and 36 weeks), so we had lots of monitoring appointments to watch for preterm labor, and she was basically on bedrest for a lot of the pregnancy; and then there were regular full scans to measure growth and watch for any sign of transfusion. We were very blessed to make it to 37 weeks with only relatively minor growth discrepancies.
God bless them !Fraternal = two eggs dropped, both got fertilized.Aww that's beautiful.

That's what I read about the different set's of twin. we where so in shock we didn't ask what ones they are. When we go back for the 16week screening I figured would ask then. how do they tell by ultra sound or by blood work ? And do you have a history of twins in the families? Again sorry for all the Questions its just nice to talk to someone who's been down that road.

No worries, ask away. Just be warned if I don't know the answer, I'm gonna make something up! j/k
They can tell by ultrasound if its the latter two types of identical twins based on the sacs and placenta. However if they're separate sacs and separate placentas, you won't know until either the anatomy scan reveals different genders (meaning fraternal) or they're born and you look at 'em!
We don't have a history of twins. Identical twins don't occur as a result of genetic predisposition, it's a sort of random occurrence.

Lou, congrats!
My recommendation: take some pictures of the inside of your house. It won't be the same for many years!
Children are our greatest gift, and you'll be an exceptional Dad!

Congratulations brother!
So A update for all that are interested, It has been confirmed 3 times now that it is indeed Twin Boys. Looks like its going to be my 3 sons. Just hope my Son wont be jealous of his little brothers, He's A huge mama's boys so this might be rough and I'm almost positive the Twins will be mama's boys also. Would have been nice to had daddies little girl. I guess there's next time ! On the plus side I have A ton of boy stuff already. I guess I better brush up on my coaching skills cause I see a lot of little leagues in my future .
