The biggest shock of my life....

[Hitman23]

During my wife's first sonogram this week the doctor tells us we have a suprise. Twins!!



I'm so numb to this I can't even tell if I'm nervous yet. maybe I am, I dunno.... I guess.

Two of everything!

I'm happy as hell, but I just can't believe it.

[RhodyYanksFan]

Wow...congrats!! Best of luck with everything! Do twins run in yours or hers families or was it a total shock?

How totally, totally, TOTALLY awesome.

It runs in her family we just found out. Now they tell us.

It's still sinking in. I've known for two days and I still can't believe it.

[YankeeClemens22]

Holy crap! Congratulations Steve!

[ritaylnil]

Yikes! That is quite the surprise. The idea of having twins always terrified me and I'm grateful I didn't have them, but all of the people I know who have had twins have done great. The infancy period is quite challenging, so hopefully you guys will have help. After they're older, though, it's nice because they each have a ready-made playmate which makes life easier for mom and dad!

Congrats and best wishes, Steve! Don't get overly over-wrought. Things have a way of working out. And don't be afraid to ask others for help!

[Hitman23]

OH YAY!!!!!!!!





How totally, totally, TOTALLY awesome.

it is pretty awesome. We're both talking about "our babies". And it sounds weird.

[Hitman23]

Holy crap! Congratulations Steve!

Yeah, my reaction when I was told!

Thanks

[yanksrule69]

Oh my. That must be quite the shock. Twins run in my family so I am at least prepared for something similar to happen.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

It always terrified me but now that it's real it doesn't seem so bad. We've already got family and friends offering whatever help they can with babysitting, or doing errands or whatever. I'm just glad we have that because I dunno what I'd do without it.

It's good you know because when you want to have kids you'll be prepared. We had no clue! We've been buying things here and there but now we gotta start from the beginning again.

Two of everything!

Do you know if it's two boys, two girls or one of each?

[NYYBombshell]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Twins run in my family as well, on both sides. I have twin cousins on my dad's side, and my mom's brother didn't have kids and my parents didn't have twins, so it's down to us kids to see who has the twins gene.

[Hitman23]

Do you know if it's two boys, two girls or one of each?

8 more weeks until we know. And believe me, I wanna know right away.

everyone think boys! 2 boys! I have a girl who's on the verge of being a teenager. No more!

[fredgmuggs]

Congratulations!!! Your life is about to change forever (and I mean that in the best possible way).

Awww, you don't want another little girl?


Okay, two boys it is. *thinks*

[JWHIII]

Congratulations

I know. I can't wait until they get older. I'm petrified of the infant part of this. But I know life is gonna get a whole lot more fun.

[Hitman23]

I love my little girl more then anything. But she's 11 and a little diva. And she's getting the boys attention. I know what I thought then and it makes me want to own a gun.

[PinstripePride]

My uncle got the same surprise a few years ago.

Congrats Steve! That is awesome news. Although it's a little scary to think there are going to be 2 freakishly tall children with extensive sexual vocabularies running around years from now...

I don't want a girl either for these reasons.

well if you look at it a different way, I've just spawned two more obsessive Yankee fans.

[DaBomber25]

Didn't Ray Barone have a blonde daughter and then twin boys?

Congrats man.

I didn't think of it that way. Nice.

Haha yes, good call.

Was it your father's sister or sister-in-law who had the twins? It's actually a tendency to produce multiple eggs that's inherited, so if it was your dad's sister-in-law, then it wouldn't be inherited in your family.

"Factors that increase the odds of having twins

Some women are more likely than others to give birth to twins. The factors that increase the odds include:

Advancing age of the mother - women in their 30s and 40s have higher levels of the sex hormone oestrogen than younger women, which means their ovaries are stimulated to produce more than one egg at a time.
Number of previous pregnancies - the greater the number of pregnancies a woman has already had, the higher her odds of conceiving twins.
Heredity - a woman is more likely to conceive fraternal twins if she is a fraternal twin, has already had fraternal twins, or has siblings who are fraternal twins.
Race - Black African women have the highest incidence of twins, while Asian women have the lowest.
Assisted reproductive techniques - many procedures rely on stimulating the ovaries with fertility drugs to produce eggs and, often, several eggs are released per ovulation."



"Having them in the family" doesn't seem to increase the likelihood of having them unless a woman is a twin herself, has already had fraternal twins, or has siblings that are fraternal twins.

I'd go around bragging about my super-sperm and how it must be the reason I'm better than other men.

I already have done that. Plus I busted the marijuana theory.

[Evil Empire]

Congrats Steve.

Make sure you raise em right with a lot of Yankees and Star Wars.

[Hitman23]

Congrats Steve.

Actually we spoke about this. I am hell-bent on not dressing them and treating them like the same person. They need to have their own personalities and interests. I don't care how cute it is to do the twin thing.

my solution? one gets a home yankees jersey, the other one gets the away.

But the Yankees thing won't be a problem, and I don't think Star Wars will. We're gonna have a music clash. Their mom is a Grateful Dead/Skynyrd type person and I'm Tool/Pantera. That will be a battle.

My dad's sister-in-law. My dad just has one older brother. The reason I mentioned it was because I remember my dad telling me he thinks that it's on his side of the family too.

[Evil Empire]

Agreed though. My brother and I, though we're not twins, often get grouped together even though we're somewhat different. It's definitley annoying.

I bet you're daughter is excited to have some younger siblings soon.

[Trish]

Well, now where the hell have I been that I didn't even know you were pregnant??????

That's awesome news

BTW I'm praying for 2 more girls, Neanderthal man

I've always tried to bring my daughter up to know she doesn't have to be like anyone else, care what anyone thinks or let anyone tell her how she should act/dress, etc. Do what she likes, in the end, you're happier that way. It's important to me that we bring them up that way. No pressure to compete with the other or be lumped together with the other. Twins or not, they are individuals.

She's pretty excited. She's a wonderful older sister. Her mom had a baby 2 years ago so she's been here before. Good thing for me, in like 2 years I have instant babysitter!

[Sam18]

Congrats Steve! Must be awesome having twins.

[#1PaFan]

Man, you'll do anything to stop those rumors!!

Congratulations, Steve!

I didn't say anything until now. Too early. But now that I know they're healthy (OMG, "they're"!! ) I'm cool with it. I am very excited about it.

You are an evil woman.

[dabomb2045]

Congrats Steve

You are an evil woman.

You need to atone more for your misdeeds against the female of the species.

Oh ok, I'll pray for one more girl

[Hitman23]

Congratulations, Steve!

Oh c'mon George you know I only have sex with women purely for reproduction.

[Hitman23]

Congrats Steve

Congrats Steve! Must be awesome having twins.

thanks guys. it is awesome. I'm thankful we both have really good families to help us out. We can enjoy them, instead of stressing.

I never did anything I didn't have permission to do!

As long as I have at least one son I'll be happy. Or else we'll be taking another chance on having twins.

[krystl]

I was gonna ditto Trishes post because I thought I missed the announcement somewhere!
Anyway, congrats on the news...it's wonderful!

When are THEY due?

Btw...first JLH in Playboy, then the baby news! What a year for you!
