You will now become part of the married with children crowd. When your friends talk about the great movie they saw, you can tell them about that great Disney movie YOU saw! Now you have an acceptable excuse for visiting Santa and the Easter Bunny at the Mall. You can soon shop for toys that stay at YOUR house.

I will be praying for a healthy pregnancy and healthy children. My sister and I were born late. I hope your children are born before Christmas, so they can still have their special day. It is bad enough that they have to share their birthday cake each year.

Please post when you start choosing names. I can tell you that my sister and I have had many problems with similar names, the same initials, similar social security numbers and the same birthday. Taxes and banks often get our files confused.

One of my teachers gave me the nickname Yvette Barrette, because I wore barrettes while Yvonne did not. Be prepared for nicknames. My son is happy to be Mark the Shark while my husband does not like to be Donald Duck. I chose the name Mark from the Bible.

Be sure to talk to the babies, so they recognize your voice. They can hear music, too. I am sure you will play happy music like the Beach Boys.

Best wishes and congratulations to your entire family.

Love, Yvette
