Both my doctor and ultrasound tech are 100% sure they are mono-di identical twins. 🤷🏻♀️ Given the ultrasounds and the research I've done (as much as you can trust dr. Google of course) the chances of then being fraternal are extremely slim. Obviously if the anatomy scan shows different sexes that will be another story 😂 I have a friend pregnant with twins due just 3 days from me (she is also 13 weeks and a few days) and her doctors are telling her that they can't tell tell her if they are fraternal or identical yet. So now I wonder if her doctor is competent... If they are obviously in separate sacs you can't tell. They could be di-Di identical or fraternal. But if they are in the same sac or only a thin membrane separating them they have to be identical.

DH is out of the country for 8 days so I hired a sitter for Saturday. No real reason except I need a break.

Our half bath has been successfully ripped out. We're remodeling both bathrooms, and I cannot wait. Pretty sure counters/cabinets/sinks were original from when the house was built in the early 60s. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Our masterbath gut job was supposed to start at the beginning of June. I'm super annoyed it isn't started yet (let alone finished) but I'm really looking forward to a pretty bathroom. Our is vintage 1990 (brass, built in massive jacuzzi tub with a small shower stall). I hope they get started soon! Our sinks/counters are my least favorite part of the house. It's going to take a bit longer due to drywall repairs, but it'll be worth it!

Hi! I see we live in the same house! Our master bath is on the list but probably 2019 at the earliest. PS do you also have black marble tile and a rocking 1990 sauna you use exclusively for storing cleaning products? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I'll chime in on the sex-related confessions (no, not that type of sex....). My heart sank for a moment when I saw the word "girl" for our baby. I was hoping to have that brother connection for DS that I have had as a sister connection with my sister. Additionally, DH does NOT have anything resembling a good relationship with his sister so I worry about that somehow affecting our kids. I got excited today though thinking about things I will have that will be special with my daughter. Not that I lack a special relationship with my son, but I'm very into fashion and crafts and some things you could consider "girly." And again, not that boys can't be into those things but I think of those as things that I have in common with my mom, definitely not my dad! Now I'm starting to come around to the idea that we'll have the best of both worlds and get to experience both raising a boy and a girl! Like I said yesterday, our families are going to flip. Well, mine especially, they are going to be so excited. It gets tricky trying to talk about boy/girl stuff, huh?!
ETA: my BIL has always had a strong relationship with his sister, so we do have models for close brother-sister relationships in childhood and adulthood.

My confession: I was really disappointed to find out baby 2 is another boy. I'm feeling better about it now, but I still am sad that I might not have a daughter. HUgs. I felt this way at first too. I thought I would be done if this was a girl. I got to thinking that brothers are going to be soo much fun! And they should be a lot easier in the teenage years! 😊 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The black marble might me an improvement over the white laminate counter top with the wood trim though. We redid our kitchen and downstairs powder room 3 years ago when we moved in. The master bath is our next "big" project but it feels like we are building a new house with all the things that need done.

With DS I was initially slightly disappointed for a boy since I have a close relationship with my sisters and a harder time connecting with my brother. This isn't a fair comparison since I'm fairly sure he has high functioning autism but it was hard for me to imagine a connection to a little boy. This time I was really fine either way for the reasons above. With another boy brothers sounds really fun with a girl we sound more likely enjoy shopping together etc. For practical reasons another boy is a bit easier with baby clothes and stuff though I know you don't have to have girly clothes.
