When I designed my blog, and chose for my banner picture a nest with two eggs, I had several things in mind:
- A bird’s nest is a safe home for precious things – my virtual bird’s nest would be a safe home for my thoughts and opinions.
- A bird’s nest is an eclectic place, built with diverse materials – I always meant this to be an eclectic space, in which I could range from the political to the personal and back.
- A bird’s nest is a gathering place – and here you all are, gathered around.
Now I think it is time to add a new dimension to the symbolism of the picture above.
That’s an 8 week ultrasound picture of the twins currently chillin’ in my uterus.

CONGRATULATIONS! How incredibly exciting for you. I needed some happy news and this fits the bill. Rock on, little mama!!!
Mom said,
August 22, 2007 @ 8:25 am
Personally, I was really hoping you’d name them Sagamore and Sacajawea, Husband. Just think of the wonderful nicknames they’d get in school…But for true twin symmetry, I ‘d like to suggest Sagamore and Sagaless.

Diaper boxes are already accumulating. Now if only I can figure out those pins and folds, maybe I can be of help. Yikes!

Also: Sqeeeeeeal!!!! Congrats to both of you! (Mom & Pop, I mean, but the two excellent new humans as well.) Word of advice, U.- invest in some comfortable shoes with some toe room now. Your dogs’ll lurve ya for it in month 7!
