My twins are still the best of friends. They interacted in utero just like they do now - there was a dominant (the girl) and a passive (the boy) twin.

When I was 28 weeks, I had an ultrasound of my daughter. She was sucking her thumb.

My son was busy... being a boy... (a-hem) at his 7 month ultrasound. The dr told me that this was normal behavior for baby boys during the third trimester.

But the one that floored me was my son’s three month ultrasound. He was *kicking* his little butt off. It looked like he was trying to peddle a bike.

Ask moms how many of them played with their babies in the womb. Tapping their bellies and getting tapped or kicked back. Telling their baby to kick and getting the response.

I do so miss being pregnant! It was the funnest, most interesting, most beautiful experience of my life! I wish I could’ve done it half a dozen more times. :-)

LOL ! One of our girls came out looking like a prize fighter - her face was all bruised and her eyes were puffy. Her twin didn’t have a mark on her. “Rocky” was kind of quiet for the first few months - I guess her sister really must have laid into her.

Beautiful. No wonder twins always have a special relationship. It starts before they’re born.

It presents a lovely picture of pre-born babies!

Sometimes I swear I heard the faint words “He’s touching me”, don’t copy me!” ;-)

LOL!!! Best laugh of the morning!!!

One of my singletons had a very distinct personality from about 14 weeks onward, and I could tell he would have a buoyant, humorous personality from the way he would frolic around whenever I settled down to pray or read the paper. And he has turned out to be a very amusing and witty person.
