Dana: The ultrasound is scheduled for this Friday; it's the Big One we've all been waiting for where we'll be able to determine the sex of the little ones inside me. Everyone says that I should have a 'feeling,' but I really don’t. To be honest, I'm not sure what that 'feeling' would feel like. There are times when I see two little girls playing (like my adorable neighbors), and I almost start to cry because I get so overwhelmed with emotion. But mostly I chalk that up to the hormones. On the other hand, when I talk about them, I often use male pronouns.
In a way, it's fun not knowing. It gives me a chance to dream about our life with either two little boys or two little girls. But I am also glad that modern technology will cure our curiosity on Friday. I know every mother says this, but I truly believe that boys or girls, I will love them just the same.
A quick pregnancy update...In the last two weeks I have been to 12 appointments with different practitioners of various disciplines (massage, yoga, physical therapy, chiropractic, accupuncture) to help me with my sciatica. At this point, I honestly believe that I could write a book on sciatic pain and the various methods of pain relief. But no one would buy it since I can't seem to figure out how to make the pain go away.
So back to the question at hand...what do you think....

Before we found out the sex of our twins I had two thoughts. If it were two boys, I was already dreading two boys at two-years of age. If it were two girls, I was dreading two teenage girls.
On the other hand, two boys or two girls meant half a relay team (my wife and I ran track in college) and there were a million other cool things I thought of if it were two boys or two girls.
Then we found out it was one of each and that seemed pretty okay too!
How exciting for tomorrow!
