My children definitely feel the change about to happen. They alternate between being needier, worse behaved, more affectionate..,
When J woke up yesterday the first thing he asked was, "Are the twins coming today?" He has been saving toys for them and talking about them for a while.
M told me she wiped her camera clean yesterday afternoon to have room for twin pictures and videos she wants to take. When I put her to bed she asked me if people die having babies. Of course not (white lie) I replied. She kept reiterating and asking if people could die right after. Apparently she got this in her head because the spider in Charlotte's Web dies giving birth. I assured her no humans die having babies. She also asked me to write her a note for when I am in the hospital like I did last time for her and J (I think she is confusing J's birth with my back surgery when I indeed left them a note).
Lots of people I love are also somehow internalizing the impending arrival. One friend recently dreamt that I had 24 kids (for a total of 26), another good friend dreamt that I had a boy and a girl but they were toddlers at birth, and a friend I never speak to dreamt that I had one and one but F was away (as he was yesterday) and I named them Francesca and Francisco and nicknamed them OA. Weird indeed. Later today I will transcribe all of the birth predictions for your entertainment and it is not too late to participate. I am still in one piece. Happy Snowy Day!
that made me cry
ReplyDeletewe are expecting many posts in this snowy day.
ReplyDeletegirl's names: gina, lena, maia, luisa, luna, sol
boy's names: gino, eliseo, miles, max,
gina sounds like vagina. lena i like but f does not. maia, well you know what she does with her butt but also too similar to mora. i love luna but f says no and sol sounds horrible in english and italian.
ReplyDeletegino works in a pizzeria. eliseo i love but it only works in spanish and nobody else likes it. miles is in english and we are not doing that. max you have proposed 1000 times and it is a dog name in my mind.

so, are you saying that if I picked a February due date, I should reconsider? My midwife once told me that some Hasidic women walk around 2 or 3 cm dilated all the time...
ReplyDeleteThat is my goal.. 2 or 3 weeks baby. I do not remember what you said but i will put it all up there soon. Ran out of time today. I just want them as BIG as possible and I am thinking they are under 5lbs now. And yes, I share a lot with Hasidic women:)
