Cravings, Heart rates, needles and thread? Who comes up with this stuff?

So DH and I have our NT scan on monday and as most parents do at this stage in a pregnancy, we are both really anxious about possibly finding out what species of baby we are having. I could have sworn with both of my DD's that they were both boys and MAN ( or should I say Wo-Man) was I wrong!!!! From cravings to heart rates to the way I carried and so on EVERYTHING screamed boys.....not to mention out of 14 grandchildren on DH's side of the fam 13 were boys.

My grandmother used to use the old Italian wives tail of the needle and thread suspended over the belly ( I cant for the life of me remember which direction meant boy or girl) But it was always right.

So I write to you all today to find out what is the craziest, wackiest, funniest or realest gender predictor you have ever had? Leave them as a comment!!!!

Have a great day Momma's ( and Daddy's)

It must be in the water........

Ok After 6 years of swearing up and down that my Hubby and I were finally content with 2 little girls and NO MORE babies, I mean come on, 4 years of no diapers?! Who would go back to that right? Well Apparently we were dumb blessed enough to do it all over again :)

That's right folks 2 Naturally Twisted Moms are both pregnant at the same time :) Susan is due Sept 10th with a little boy which will grow their crowd to 4 bundles of joy!!! And I am due Nov 27th with an unknown species gender :) Taking our little crowd to 3 bouncing babes!

With 2 little girls ages 8 and 6, we are hoping to have a male species joining us in late November, however we will be quite content with a healthy happy baby :) 10 fingers and 10 toes are plenty for us.

So with that being announced, we will ( through morning sickness and bouts of sleep deprivation and cravings) I will be starting a mom-to-be diary and question and answer weekly.  So stock up on the questions :)

Also please leave a comment on this post with things you would like to see from the dynamic (pregnant) duo that is 2 Naturally Twisted Moms....Recipes, healthy alternatives, gardening, pregnancy, breastfeeding etc if it pertains to kids, moms and families, we will do our best to give it to you :)

Hope you all have a fantastic day, Ill be on the couch eating pickles and Ice cream :)
