34 weeks

Tomorrow we will have made it to 34 weeks with the twins! Our doctor was very happy that we'd made it to this point, and feels confident in their delivery at any time now. Josh and I were happy to get a good report yesterday. We'll go back in 2 weeks to have another ultrasound. For now, we'll just wait and enjoy these last few weeks we have together before these babies rock our cradle!!!!! Can't wait.

Here are a few twins facts I found:

The world-wide individual twin count is about 125 million.

The overall incidence of twins in the United States is about one in 80 births.

Triplets are born about once in 10,000 births.

Identical twins occur at a constant rate (one in 250 births) regardless of race or ethnic background.

Fraternal twins differ from each other in social development to almost the same degree as single-born siblings, especially if they are of different sexes.

Female fraternal twins have an increased chance to have fraternal twins at an actual rate of about one in 60 births or more.

Male fraternal twins do not have increased chances for having twin children.

Twins have been known to develop their own dialect, or language. This is known as "cryptophasia", and only they can understand what is being said.

There is a special place in heaven for the mother of twins (triplets, etc.) :)
