Though he's acting like one now =/
Ahh! AHHHHH!!
Grayson will be 7 in October.
The dog turns 2 in a few days I think.
Still waiting..
Way past fed up now!
I will say this, figuring out how to handle drama with a teenager is very awkward and difficult when your own kid hasn't reached that age and is the opposite gender. As folks know, my niece has had a crapton of drama, and stays with us a lot, but I'm still terrible knowing what to do/say when she's upset...other than get my wife.
I was hoping we'd get to open the new thread with a fresh babby.
...does that count?
That kids practically in college already! OLD NEWS!
I call bullshit. That babby could not possibly be from the internet, it doesn't even have any tusks or tentacles!
We're uh.....pretty excited.

I am a twin and my mother likes to tell the story of having to get up to feed us around 3 am while my father was asleep. She gets both of us fed and rocks us back to sleep, but she's in a rocking chair and can't get out of the chair with both of us in her arms. She can't shout for my dad to help her because she'll wake us up and he likely won't hear her anyway because his snoring is louder than a jet plane.
Eventually, she takes my brother and puts him on her legs and gently inches him down her legs until she gets him to roll onto the floor. Then she stands up with me, bends down and picks my brother up, and then puts both us back in our cribs.
Twins are fun!
@Sassori : that is hilarious, good on your mum for finding a creative solution, haha. I'm so excited to find out the sex of the twins - I'm kind of hoping they're identical just for the interesting cool factor, but a boy and a girl would actually be great.
We were pretty close when we were small, but we never got to try and switch places or any of the hijinks that you hear about identical twins getting to do.
Even if they are the same gender they can still look really different though. No guarantee about them being identical.
It's good that you are excited no matter what!
My roommate has three sisters and two of them are twins. They look nothing like each other. When you have all four of the sisters together they are all obviously related, but when it's just the twins standing next to each other you wouldn't know.
My middle sister and I got confused for twins when we worked together even though she is six years older than I am. I actually got her in a bit of trouble because her friends would mistake her for me and talk to me and I would just blink at them in confusion because to me they were strangers.

And my sister is South Korean.
The confusion it causes when people meet another one of us out of context is fucking hilarious
If it's any consolation, one of my team has teenagers currently and actively tries to work more to avoid them sometimes.
this is the deal with my oldest and the newborn (3 1/2 and a week old, respectively)
there seems to be almost zero jealousy issues, but Daniel is pretty sure James is his baby, so if James starts getting fussy or thrashing at all, Daniel will try to calm him down by patting him harder than we'd like on the head (the whole time going "YOU'REalright-YOU'REalright", then giving him big hugs (which usually sets James off even further), then attempting to pick the baby up and bring him to me or momma like he does with my parent's cat, which is terrifying
we try to curtail the behavior when we see it start happening, but have to be really subtle about how we redirect it because otherwise Daniel will lose his shit completely and then both of them will be going off at the same time
I will say that watching Daniel wander over every ten minutes or so to kiss him on the forehead and announce "HE'S CUTE" is probably the best thing
I have Adelaide, who is 6, and Isabelle, who is 4. I also have two cats that are fat and dumb.
Here's a few pictures to illustrate a typical week for us:
White cake with an oreo in the center, homemade icing with ground oreos mixed in, then half an oreo sticking out of the top
oreo.
Me: Yeah? You're pretty awesome.
Anya: Yeah, I know. I rock out. I'm a rocker.
But still don't know what it is looks like we are paying to go the private route to find out.
Mostly saying this because I remember browsing forums when I was 10 years old.
Someone's did
Can't remember who though
@Blameless Cleric in DnD chat is the daughter of @spool32 and @Belasco32
