I'm carrying a boy and a girl.

Now there's no *question* that they're fraternal.  :)  I kinda figured
they were, but this confirms it before they come out, without anything
unpleasant like, oh, say, amniocentisis.

When they do an ultrasound on babies in the womb, one thing they do is
take a number of measurements (head on 2 different axes, torso length,
femur length) and then use that to calculate weight.  The girl was 717
grams, and the boy, 846 grams calculated.

It was kinda cool when the girl kicked just as the ultrasound wand was
over her -- the tech really *saw* it, and I really *felt* it *and* got
to see what it looked like on the screen.

At least there's going to be absolutely no question on telling them
apart; if you're not sure, just go change a diaper....  ;)

amniocentesis. Because I had to look it up.


Would that change naming plans? Would it be cruel to have boy/girl twins named similar? Like Lynn and Lynne, or Bob and Bobby....
