Kiddies
Here's what twins look like - born 17 days before the due date; 6 pounds, 3 ounces; 18 1/2 inches long; moments after birth.
Kiddie A is on the left, Kiddie B on the right.
Oh, btw, B was supposed to be A and A was supposed to be B.
How's that?
Hmmmm ... that's a good Husband Messes Up story:
We had to come up with four names, right? The first girl name would be for the first one that we found out was a girl, etc. Kiddie A on the right side (so named 'cause she would've been the first one born) was too squirmy to have gender determined. Kiddie B on the left, was found to be female a few weeks before birth. So I sez to DH, the twin on the left is A, 'cause that's the first girls' name we decided on.
But when the twin on the right was born, she was a girl -- the nurses asked for her name. Dear, dear Hubby thinks "first girl is A...", forgetting that the one on the other side was to be named A.
The next day I pointed out that he had gotten them mixed up. He said, oh, that's right, we'll have to correct that! I said, oh, no we don't - the paperwork is all done and signed!!
So that's how they came to have the names that weren't meant to be for them.

I didn't know that! That's pretty funny. I think their names suit them.
Great story! How old are the girls now?
The Kiddies will be 15 years old this July. Driving next year!!
Beautiful babies! I'm sure they are wonderful girls. We still had 5 names up for grabs when we got to the hospital. My hubby and I have never had a more difficult time making a decision than the time we had choosing our baby's name.
Great story! Wait, both twins had the same weight? Kewl!
I had no naming-angst at all :> First, I was an elective single parent, so no bickering with a partner, and second, I have one of those either-gender names and it works for me. Early on in the pregnancy I decided on an either-way name and used its nickname while talking to The Belly, and I opted to be surprised in the delivery room. Got a girl!
Funny that your B was the squirmy one, where A looks feistier in the picture.
15 years old, enlightened mother, and will be taken to see Star Wars!
What more can they ask?
Blessings to you all.
Love that story!
Hubby can't be blamed though; he was in a state of delirious bliss, I'm sure, when the mistake was made.
Great story and pic! I hope you took loads of video - ours are now teenagers; it's fun to watch them every so often.
We recently visited our godtwins, who are thirteen. We were around them a lot for their first 8 years and I have an idea what you have endured. God bless.
