Wendo | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:18 pm     Good to see ya Jiggly! Glad to know all is well with you. (Are you having twins? Meg mentioned babies so I was curious. I'm a twin actually. My mom said having twins was one of the greatest joys in her life. I love my mom, she's awesome.) |
Ezgoing | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:20 pm     Jiggly, so glad you and the babies are here--we missed you! You keep resting and take care of yourself and those little ones!! |
Jigglywigglyjun | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:21 pm     Hi, Wendo, Yes I am having a boy and a girl... My husband is a twin too... Are you identical twins? I can't can't wait  |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:25 pm     Ah, I thought so. So you're having fraternal twins. Fun! And, your husband is a twin too! Wow. Yes, were are identical. Though, not as much anymore. We look too similar to be fraternal and, yet, not similar to be identical. However, my sister, who has a Doctorate in Molecular Biology (so I'm going with her on this) says we are identical. It seems, though, that more of my fathers genes are expressed in me than her. Anyway, yes, we're identical. It was great while growing up; always had an instant playmate. And, I love hearing the stories from my mom. She said, for instance, that my sister and I had are own language for a time. She didn't know what we were saying but she knew we were saying something. Usually if one of us did something. The other would say something, look at our mom, then talk somemore. She said it was rather funny. LOL! edited to add: And let me give you some advice that my mom said once. Playpens! LOL! She said they were a life saver. (Because, having twins can be overwhelming at times.) And one of those bouncy chairs in a door frame. She'd just swap us out. LOL! |
Jigglywigglyjun | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:30 pm     Wendo... Funny you should mention the ( our own language) LOL My husband and his brother where the same way, Acually hubby always also talked for his brother and \their mom used to get mad at him and tell him " let your brother talk to me"...LOL!! |
Ezgoing | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:32 pm     Ryn, thanks for the plasma screen fishies--they've become my new favorite hgs! (thanks too for ALL you do to help make this board the best around!) Wendo, your mentioning a special twin language sure rang a bell! We had dear friends who had identical twin sons and our son, who was 18 months older, would often play with them while we adults were nearby. Once the twins became verbal, our son was the ONLY one who could understand their created language! Their mother would sometimes call us, frantic to have our boy 'translate' what the twins were trying to say. What a challenge, but fun! Seems it's not an uncommon stage with twins raised together. Thanks for a walk down memory lane! |
Jigglywigglyjun | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:33 pm     Wendo... thanks, I have that one checked off already...LOL (courtesy of my mother-in-law)! Oh my I know it is going to be rather hectic, but you know what... I wouldn't have it any other way! I am truly truly blessed! |
Jigglywigglyjun | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:36 pm     Can you guys believe I don't have any names picked out yet?...LOL Maybe I should start a special thread with suggestions.... HaHA! |
Jigglywigglyjun | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:37 pm     NO I WILL NOT NAME MY BABIES ALLISON OR ROBERT!LOLOLOLOLOL |
Meggieprice | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:37 pm     Jiggly- if yu can, possibly, can you have someone contact us at the TVCH so we know you are ok and how the babies are when it happens? You don't know but several people have been asking about you! If someone would e-mail me I would be happy to spread the news! |
Jigglywigglyjun | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:39 pm     Meggie.. sure I will... |
Meggieprice | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:41 pm     Now I can go to bed , I really am happy to know you are ok. I can just imagine how uncomfortable it is getting! I went crazy with just one! Night all- boy, I sure am looking forward to waking up and seeing what Jun and Ali are up to....NOT!! |
Ezgoing | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:42 pm     Meg, you beat me to it! I was about to ask Jiggly to do the same--gotta lot of caring folks here who are sending you and those babies their best wishes and prayers for a safe and easy delivery! Jiggly, if you DID want some creative suggestions for names, you sure came to a good place for ideas. You just might find the perfect names for your new son and daughter, who we assume will be the newest little TVCHers ! Best to you and your family! |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:44 pm     Oh yeah, my sister and I did that too, talking for one another. It just happens. When you're young, you're so intertwined with each other. And, you almost know what the other is feeling and thinking. It's odd. Good to hear you've got one thing already. LOL! It'll be hectic, for sure. But GOOD hectic. My mom said it was great. Plus, seeing the different personalities unfold was fascinating she said. I'm sure you'll love it all. You'll find names for them. We weren't named until we were born. Debby and Wendy. (I'm Wendy of course. LOL!) Oh, another suggestion, don't do the whole same clothes thing. (Easier since you're having one of each.) And using different colors doesn't cut it. That's the one thing that bugged my sister and I. Same clothes, just different colors. Oh, and getting the same gifts. Hated that too. LOL! Ezgoing, wow, very cool that your son could understand them. My mom had no clue. No one in our family did. And you're right, not uncommon at all. I'd say another challenge with twins is to try and socialize them. Twins tend to socialize later because they have each other to play with. However, the sooner you get them accustomed to other children, the better. It's funny, ya know. I admit there were times where being a twin was frustrating. Ok, REALLY frustrating. But now, as an adult, I'm so glad I have my twin sister. We're just so close, closer than traditional siblings. It's hard to explain, but we are. And I'm grateful for that. |
Ezgoing | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:45 pm     Night Meg! Sweet dreams---use Ryn's plasma fishies to doze off to. They don't cuss, ever! |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:47 pm     Me too Jiggly! My email is in my profile if you ever want to contact me! Meg, when my mom was at almost full term with us (we were born one month early; which isn't unusual with twins) she said she was HUGE. To get out of bed in the morning she would roll from the bed to the floor and then climb up the bed to get to a standing position. She couldn't just get out of bed. LOL! Actually, my mom still has the x-ray of us in her womb. (Back then, it was x-rays.) It's so cool, and weird. LOL! |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:48 pm     Goodnight Meggie. Cya tomorrow! |
Ezgoing | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 11:53 pm     Wendo, so right about the socialization. It's only natural that twins would spend the majority of their time with each other, developing a stronger bond than 'just' siblings might. Incorporating other children is ideal for helping twins to not only feel comfortable with others, but helps minimize the stress if/when their twin is not present. Can be very upsetting otherwise according to parents who've not had the opportunity to expose their twins to other children. And that frustration while growing up followed by exceptionally close ties as adults...well, that's another plus twins often talk about. Glad you and your sister have that unique bond; some twins unfortunately take steps to forge their separate paths when adults, usually when they've been subjected to that 'matching' tendency their entire child/teen years. Interesting studies done. Sounds like your mom was a wise and fortunate woman! Edited to add: Neat story! I feel a bit ashamed of myself though for chuckling just a tad at the visual image of your poor mom, managing the best she could to just get out of bed! What we don't do for our kids, huh?! G'night now--take care. |
Jigglywigglyjun | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 12:01 am     Ok guys, If you have any suggestions for names stick em in my folder. I am going to attempt to sleep now! See you all tommorow. And thank you for all the warm wishes... Makes me very happy to know so many fellow TVCH chatters care! |
