Friday was baby and cervix check-again. The girl (they do have names)is weighing at 3 lbs and 1 oz. And the Boy wonder is close to 3 lbs. as well. M's cervix was looking okay to the doctor.
Speaking of names, my dear childhood friend Karen, said when pregnant, that she wouldn't reveal babies names- as someone always had a comment or suggestion for a better name. She was right. We told some people- and a comment like- "oh I like that" or "oh- reallllllly???" Translation- it sucks.
As a disclaimer,- we are both Irish american. I relate to Ireland- in a brooding sense of irish- not in the requisite- shamrocks, pope and JFK hanging on the wall sorta way. But, in the West of Ireland, Yeats, Sinead O'Connor, Damien Rice, Oscar Wilde, wild ocean, fireplace/sawdust on floor/ pub sort of way.
So, we are looking at Gaelic names where the translation meant something to us. Both of us are M's. I really didn't want to choose a name with an M. But, alas- I guess we are. I really hope people think it wasn't on purpose. Oh ultimately- I should be worrying about bigger items.
I am almost done painting. This is absurd. Don't people hire people for this work? We are getting M's nephew in later this week to paint our bedroom. He just dropped out of college at 20. Smart kid- but needs a wakeup call. I don't think painting our bedroom will result him in enrolling in art school or anything. I hope to get him for a couple of days, and just trying to talk some sense into that kid. Shit- I think he is going to drop paint all over the place. Oh well.
Saturday, we drove to Scarsdale. Apparently, Scarsdale had a double stroller that M wanted to push. Not sure what the HELL happened to bjorn -snap and go- idea. But, we drove up there. Once inside the 800th Babies R Us- the manager came over and said "NEVER buy that stroller." It was the most returned product she had. So- we are back on the bjorn one and snap and go concept, until a few months and we get some other stroller my lovely partner is now obsessing over. And I thought getting pregnant was complicated.

The thing is, all double strollers suck. There is no good solution. I flipped a thousand times. Have you thought about the Baby planet Unity stroller? We bought it at Real Birth but I think they sell it is BRU and BBB. I ended up with that, after a hideous experience with the Phil and Ted. The Baby Planet is great and can be use from birth. Really really easy to steer. Even with one had. I have held a screaming baby and pushed the stroller with one hand. I don't rec. doing this!
I'm having deja vu. Either I posted all this already on your blog or another twin blog!
We are in the west 50s, hence the shopping at Real Birth. If you are in the hood, I can let you test drive the stroller on the street with two real live babies. I really can't rec. it enough. The lesser of many evil strollers!
Funny star story: We saw stars in florida and there was a bright one and I said, oh, look, honey, a planet. She laughed at me and said it was a plane. Next night, SAME plane, same location. A little internet research and turns out it was a planet. Ha!
Shotzie!!! Your dear friend Karen sounds like a sage. I agree completely. Keep the names a secret. You only get to have such fun so few times in life! I look forward to the day your beautiful children are around the age of five and ask you how you knew that their names were "X". I always say, "When you were born and I finally met you, I knew." So happy for you both! You are about to embark on the best adventures of your lives. Love the blog. I feel so informed!
