Twins and twins and twins

My office-mate's wife is having two babies today, one day shy of my boys' third birthday.  Like a lot of mothers, I get a little misty when someone I know has a baby -- and especially misty when someone I know has babies.  My own babies were so sweet, so tiny, so perfect, and such a surprise three years ago.  There's something about welcoming a new parent to the twin club that brings it all back -- but with about 90% of the anxiety and physical misery subtracted.  Hindsight isn't 20/20; it's rose-tinted.

Makes you want another...right? I've heard that you will certainly have a girl after two boys...(random chance be damn).

Summer, that sounds like a dangerous hypothesis to test -- but you're a scientist, so you're qualified at least! :-)
