I'm having twins!

Well I found out today I'm going to have twins. Two baby girls. Isn't that so exciting? Ok, I guess I have some explaining to do before one of you goes into shock!?

The dietitian I was with this week has twin boys. Today we were talking about it and I mentioned that I have lots of twins and triplets in my family and that my grandma is convinced I'm going to have twins. So she says, "I can tell you." She went on to explain an old wives tail involving dangling a pencil with a needle and thread over your wrist. Depending on the direction the pencil swings, you can determine what children you're going to have. Have any of you ever heard of such a thing? I was laughing so hard the whole time, I thought it was funny. The strange thing was I think the dietitian really thought it was gospel. At the end, she said, "Oh my gosh, you are going to have twins!" Anyways, according to this dietitians method of determination, I'm going to have a boy and then a set of twin girls...I won't be able to tell you if it's accurate for a really long time though.

    Abby...I have heard of this pregnancy predictor before. The person can tell what you will have according to the way the chain moves in a circle or back and forth, right? Some lady did this with my sister, and it showed she'd a girl (which she did). Then it showed a boy (which she miscarried a boy). Then it showed a girl (which she had), and another boy. She is pregnant now, so if she has a boy, maybe it really does work. Either that, or it is a strange coincidence!

    Either way, I hope you eventually enjoy your twins!

    I've heard of that, but I thought you had to do it while you were pregnant, not before.
