Now we'll have boys AND girls in our house...so I accurately predicted that we'd have twins when we went through this process. And once we found that out, my prediction turned to having one boy and one girl. And we are!
Thankfully now we don't have to answer "the question" anymore. Here's what I'm talking about: "What do you want...a boy or a girl?" This is asked with the same casualness as, "What do you want on your sandwich..mayo or mustard?"...For Goodness sake, we're talking about a baby here, not a sandwich...you get what you get. Apologies to everyone who has asked us this question (psst...we ask people this too!)
I'm still not 100% sold that the doctor has a clue what he is seeing. I think doctors are just messing with us and that the ultrasound is simply a badly tuned TV station.
But, he was convinced that its one boy and one girl so we'll take him at his word!
So in 12 years when I'm off to Boy Scout Camp with Helmet, Debbie will be out with Hermaine at Girl Scout Camp. No, we're not naming our kids this...just humor me
On that note, other twin names that we won't be considering:
Jack and Jill
Gonzo and Piggy
Ima and Ura
Hansel and Gretel (like the picture on our header)
Emilio and Charlie
Barbie and Ken
Luke and Leia (Debbie told me no)
Jacob and Esau
Romulus and Remus
Antipholus of Ephesus and Antipholus of Syracuse (err...Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors...anyone?)
We can't decide yet on names, so if you have any to suggest, please send along. But be aware, they are going to have to be better than Helmet, and THAT is a tall order.

3 People Who Care and I Call Friend:
Yeah for you! Jeremy started out wanting all boys, but now that Ayden's here he's changed his mind and wants all girls! If I come across any names I'll let you know.
I personally would go for Luke and Leia, but that because I love Star Wars. I wish my name was princess Leia. I don't know what my mom was thinking with this "denise" bit. (I think maybe it's because I was born before A New Hope came out). Maybe you could watch Star Wars a lot and then the names would grow on Debbie!
What about Prince Zodar and Gonzo? I seem to remember being told that an older brother wanted to name me one of those. Since I got Liesl for a name, now is your chance!
