Q&A with Britt

Do twins run in your family? (every time, without fail)
Proper answer: Identical twins aren't genetic.
Tempting answer: They do now.

You're huge!
Proper answer: Everybody's healthy and doing great!
Tempting answer: I have two babies inside me. I'm supposed to look like this.

You're starting to get that pregnancy waddle.
Proper answer: Yeah, things sure are changing.
Tempting answer: What's your excuse?

Was twins part of the plan?
Proper answer: Nope, nature just took it's course.
Tempting answer: Yeah, right after we found out.

Twins, huh. How are you going to do it?
Proper answer: We'll find our way, I'm sure.
Tempting answer: I'm scheduling you for Wednesday afternoons and every Sunday.

So, how are the twins? What? Why are you being hospitalized?
Proper answer: (Retell the whole story about the girls being monoamniotic)
Tempting answer: Seriously? We told you this when we told you they were twins.

When are you due?
Proper answer: Full term would be late July, but we'll end up having a C-section in early June.
Tempting answer: Any day now. Whoa, I hope those shoes were waterproof.....

Will you breastfeed?
Proper answer: We'll have to see how things go.
Tempting answer: Probably not, I have inverted nipples. In fact this one, (lifting shirt) has never seemed to work, while this one works only when carefully manipulated. Here, give me your hand and try it....Oh, was that too personal?

How will you tell them apart?
Proper answer: Probably with nail polish at first, then we'll get to know them well enough.
Tempting answer: Tattoos.
