My sister is one of the cool kids…
Trust me when I tell you… its no longer cool to only have one 10-lb. baby at a time. In fact, fraternal boy-girl twins (with a total weight of 10-lbs.) is where its at now. Let’s examine some recent data to confirm my assertion:
1. Julia Roberts: Hazel and Phinnaeus may be the oldest twins in my list at 3 1/2 but someone has to be the trend setter!
2. J-to the- L-O: A recent article suggests that she felt a flutter in her belly and knew that she was preggers. I prefer to interpret that as– she felt the doctor place the fertilized zygote into her uterus and knew she had a 22.2% chance of being pregnant. Regardless, she hopped on the momma-of-boy-girl-twins train this year when Max and Emme were born in February.
3. Brangelina: Clearly in an attempt to match my parents in terms of number of children, these two didn’t rest on the successful melding of their chromosomes in thier daughter Shiloh . Actually, they were so over the idea of having sex with each other that they opted for IVF!? And with the birth of Vivienne and Knox, they have done for boy-girl twins what they did for adoption. Hey you two– I think its time to adopt this 30-something– besides Rochester is sort of like a foreign country to you?!
4. Rebecca Romijin: I know it shouldn’t really count– she and Jerry O’Connell are having two girls– but since she plays a boy turned girl on Ugly Betty, one of those babes might just turn out to be a boy after all.
Apparently, I am not the only person who’s caught on to this trend. Check out this site… http://omg.yahoo.com/news/seeing-double-are-celebrity-twins-hollywoods-latest-trend/6954 to see who else in Hollywood is the proud parent of twins (Like that terrible lawyer turned obnoxious host- Nancy Grace)
And now with the impending arrival of Samuel Hardin and Lillian (McKenna/McCartney/Amelia/FRANCHESCA) Gauss… it seems, my sister, JAY, ever the local envelope-pusher is rockin’ this trend in Rochester.
Well… that one..and the scarf one too…
