That is what I imagine my little twin girls saying to each other. See, we are under the proverbial gun. If they don't come out on their own, we induce in seven days.Very exciting news! I find myself telling it to everyone I come across, and while I don't know if the respiratory distress patient we ran on was *that* interested, they did offer congratulations.
The doctors estimate that they should weigh about 6.5lbs each when born, which means little chance of NICU time, and will most likely be headed home with us. I admit, that does scare me a little bit. I have next to no experience taking care of wee little ones for more than a couple of hours, now we will have two little lasses that will be dependent on me and Mrs. Mono. Whew, at least Mrs. Mono's experience will make up for any of my rookie mistakes!
So yeah, that little inner fear might have something to do with my mental image of my daughters wearing pinstripe suits, speaking in Italian accents, and debating between lethal weapons and yummy pastries...

It's going to be sooo great Mr. Mono. You're going to be a wonderful father. Just think, by next weekend we'll have two little girls with us.
I'm so glad they carried this long, they will be soooo healthy! (I know Mrs Mono is probably cursing them to get out though ;-) ).
Anyway, I don't think there is any way to prepare for this. I had experience, and prepped as much as possible and I'm still adjusting. All I can say is - ask for help. Let family and friends help out because you WILL need it. I'm going through it all right now (albeit with only one baby) so if you guys need to just talk (or cry, or yell) give me a call and we can do it together :-)
Dear Evil|Good Twin:
If she does have to be induced, it will only further prove the evil/good twin theory: April 10 is my birthday.
(Oh, and it's Mike of the Pistolette's too).
P.S. - I'm claiming one of them for ninjadom.
