Womb Raider - Two Much Fun

It's official! They're twins, and they're housed in a bunk-bed equipped womb.
When this picture was being taken; the top baby (lovingly referred to by the radiologist as "Baby A") had a hiccup and we got to watch its body flail up-and-down in a "break dancing/worm" like movement for a brief second. "Baby B" was just casually kicking it on the bottom bunk (literally kicking the side wall)


They're fraternal and healthy and happy; as are we! We're grateful to know they're growing healthy and strong; and already sapping my dear sweetheart of all her energy ... and food consumption.

You'll note that it appears "Baby A" (aka "Thing 1") is looking face-down at the "bottom bunk" where "Thing 2" is crouched in fetal position, kicking the wall to your left. "Thing 1" looks to have a highlighted jawbone, but I can't tell for sure... this is why I'm a software developer and not a radiologist. "Thing 2" has a jawbone, it appears, as well; but not near as bright as "Thing 1."

Nothing like Dr. Seuss nicknames while they're preparing to enter into their journey into the world. Speaking of names, everyone has been having a ball coming up with what we should name them.

Among the top are:
(If they're boys...)
Jim & Tim (the "Tweebs" from Kim Possible)
Bill & Ted
Wayne & Garth
Mario & Luigi
Smith & Wesson
Bacon & Cheese

(If they're girls...)
Thelma & Louise
Blossom & Buttercup

(If they're a mixed bag)
Pat & Terry
Chris & Kelly

What names do YOU want to suggest?

That is the coolest ultrasound pic I've ever seen! How exciting!

Let's see.... 2 girls, Paris and Nicole?

Or Mary Kate and Ashley?

Boy and Girl... Bill and Hillary

I'm partial to Mark and Maxine.

Would that be creepy?

Kent and Brent if they are both boys.

Kent and Brent would rule! We'll seriously consider those names.

For those of you that don't know... my dad is a twin and their names are Kent and Brent. My uncle Kent died shortly after birth; so this would be extra special.

Thanks for the suggestion Mom... you rock!

I think Darryl and Daryl for boys and for girls Isabella & Olivia. If it's a mix how about Madison & Matthew.

Congratulations.
