Congratulations Brenda and Mark!
A friend of mine called me yesterday to tell me about the birth of your twin boys because your twins have the same name as mine.
My twins are 21 years old now but they are Marcus (with a ‘c’) and Tyler. My Marcus was also named after a family member.
So – you did a great job naming these babies!
Take care and best wishes.

My niece is currently 32 weeks along with her boys, Parker and Ethan. She had an ultrasound and the boys are 4 pounds 5 ounces and 4 pounds 6 ounces!! She went into premature labor though and is now on bedrest for the rest of the pregnancy and she reads “What to expect when you’re expecting” and knows that in another 4 weeks (They want her to hit 36 weeks) that she’s looking at some BIG BOYS! Then again our family has ranged from 7 pounds up to 12 pounds at birth so it doesn’t surprise me…but she’s little..barely 5 foot and her husband (my nephew) is 6’4″.

She wants to have a vaginal birth but as of last Friday they are both breach and being stubborn. They can still turn though! She reads this blog all the time so “Hi Tabby…love ya…Sissie”

Wow! Those are great weights for 35 weeks! And I echo the above comment about it being so nice to see a celebrity having (or even attempting!) a vaginal twin birth. My twins were born at home, and it was an amazing experience. Congrats to their family!

Good for her for having twins vaginally!! I really, really respect women who attempt this. My cousin delivered twins vaginally several years ago. The second twin turned to breech after the first delivered and they had to do an internal version in order to avoid a C-section or breech delivery. She said that was the most uncomfortable and scary moment of the delivery process. She says she wouldn’t change a thing if she had to do it over again, though. (She’s pregnant with another set of twins now, and is hoping for another vaginal delivery.)
