a little glimpse of me

i've got a secret

Did you know that the rate of twins increases significantly in women who become pregnant over the age of 40? It turns out that, after a certain point, women are much more likely to release more than one egg per cycle. Also, did you know that, if you don't take your birth control pills every single day, you just might wind up pregnant? Common sense, no?

I didn't used to know all of that, but I do now.

The likelihood of naturally conceived (without fertility treatment) twins peaks between ages 35 and 39. I guess I better wait a little while . . .

I'd normally jump to conclusions and scream and yell and dance.

But I'm also a little bit suspicious, given the date on this particular post...

Almost got me, but Betsy brought me back to reality there.

Of course, my little twin cousins were supposed to be just one final third child, so...

Nu? When are you going to tell us if it was an April Fool or not? (the picture seems to be dated February 2001, so...I am not biting ;))
