If you're going to have twins, surely there's better names than that.

Say: Skids and Mudflap?

I know lots of little girls and boys named Megatron..... ;) lol

I do think however... calling a child "skids" or "mudflap" is setting them up for a fall at school age! :p

Pounce and Wingspan? ;)

Sunstreaker & Sideswipe for me (& yes, I know they're not twins :p )

My wife is Pregnant, ... with Twins!! We're so happy, excited and terrified all at the same time, we need to move, buy a pram and a new car with room for two baby seats, and that's just the start. She's at about 22 weeks this week coming and already starting to struggle.

UM that is fantastic news and a heartfelt congratulations to you and your wife!

Still not prepared at home, but spending a fair whack of each day there.

As for the ring, I've heard that before, I know for a fact my dad gave my mum one for each kid. Don't tell my wife though !

Akky82, congrats on your new family addition, I hope everything is still going well and you're able to all be at home tomorrow for Christmas day!!

Thank you all so much for the kind wishes and positive vibes!!!!:o I just showed Mrs UltraMarginal and we're both truly touched.

As for names, we have figured out we need to decide on 3 pairs, two boys, two girls and a boy and a girl. just in case. I don't think I'm in for naming after pop culture Icons so I might have to give Skids and Mudflap a miss. Mrs UltraMarginal thinks that Megatron is a horrible girls name!

We've been looking at houses, since we currently live in a flat, but we've just figured out that we need to really start looking at cars, and we need to get a pram first to make sure we pick a car the pram fits in. . .

Anyway, tomorrow is Christmas, many well wishes to everyone on the board and your family and friends, may your holidays however long be enjoyable.

Twinferno and Doublecross. :)

Much congrats. May I suggest that you get unboxing the rest of your TF backlog before they're born, cos finding the time to do it afterwards will be quite the challenge. ;) Also, prepare to remove the words "sleep" and "quiet" from your vocabulary. :p

Have bought a house in Brisbane!

Move straight-in in a few weeks time with enough room for the robots and kids to grow.

Congrats on the place mate. Is this your first house?

At 0046 and 0053 Our Baby boy and Baby Girl were born this morning at only 33 weeks.

They are both doing well, only needing to have a feeding tube and be in the humidicrib environment. they will be in hospital for several weeks and we'll be there every day to see them.
Mrs UltraMarginal is also doing very well, unfortunately we don't have names yet because they weren't expected this early. We're working on it today.

I figured they'd stay in my vocabulary but instead of meaning 9am meaning 6am:(


We named them last Tuesday, Ethan Jasper UltraMarginal and Zoe Hayley UltraMarginal.

Ethan is now out of the humidicrib and they are both feeding and doing very well. I've changed several nappies already on them both, only been peed on once so far. We hope to bring them home in about 4 weeks.
Every day my wife goes in to tend to them and spend time with them, I go straight over after work, and if I get there in time, I get to take temperatures change them before their feed for the evening. I'll be taking some leave when they come home. They are disgustingly cute, I am going to struggle saying no.

Again thank you all for the wonderful words and thoughts
Dallas

Dude! Twins! :eek::D:eek:

Oh man - super, mega, huge, sincere congrats to you and your good lady!


(I hear Trev and Trevina are very 'in vogue' names right now if the current names don't work out)


Seriously man, we've never met but I wish I was there right now to give you a massive congratulatory hug :)

Massive congratulations, UM!

Congratulations Dallas! Lovely names too.

Glad to hear that Ethan is out of the humidicrib and that both he, Zoe, and Mrs UltraMarginal appear to be healthy after the early birth.

You're sounding like a loving doting father already! :D
