This Guy and That Guy, that's my name

When I found out I was pregnant with twins, I wanted to go jump off my balcony (but figured, not such a good idea, I would just break my ankles). I eventually made peace with it, through a lot of therapy talks with my Mom and bff, and really became relaxed about the whole thing. The day that Jax & Jude were born, rather than jump off my balcony, I wanted to fly from my balcony. I was so elated and overcome with the miracle that just took place. They were meant to be, and as a set at that!! How lucky am I, to be able to experience the growth of a baby all over again, and all their amazing milestones, two times at once!! I am still learning about the whole "twin" thing and don't fall into any forums as to reading up on, joining groups, or the how to's about twins. I am just taking it as it comes. Although I must admit, I do find myself dressing them "twinnie" most of the time, I'm almost obsessive over it! So, now to the point of this post, when they were first born, we didn't really know what to call them, and for whatever reason, it was weird for us to call them by their names. So, naturally then, they acquired names like, Baby A and Baby B, this one and that one, and this guy and that guy, to name a few. The name that thus far has stuck with them 9 months later, is this guy and that guy. I find my family and friends, even myself, still referencing them by those names - it's hilarious! "Who ate last?", um, this guy.", "Who has a poopie diaper?", that would definitely be that guy.", "Ok, who's crying?", awwww, this guy is, he's stuck under the table!!" My Mom just realized, last night as a matter of fact, how much we reference them to those names. We were cracking up about it! We do it so subconsciously.

So, I can only hope, that the day will come, for their sake anyway, that they will simply be referenced to as Jax & Jude, as individuals. I mean, not like it's any harm or a bad thing, but soon enough, they are going to have an opinion about it and maybe just want to be "this guy has a name guy". Or, even funnier, I can see it now, them pointing fingers at each other, "No Mom, it was that guy guy...No it wasn't Mom, it was this guy guy!!!" :>)
