I made another thing…

Okay, so I know it’s been too long for this. Isn’t it always? But I’ve been chasing a toddler around. And working on Etsy, and, well, living! But Life is changing a bunch right now. In case you didn’t know, I’m expecting twins at the end of the summer. I’ve had a lot of people ask me if they’re fraternal or identical and they get confused when I tell them I don’t know. For now, I know they’re di/di. That means they have their own placentas and their own amniotic sac. Both are reassuring, because it means they have less chance of getting their cords tangled or having a problem with the placenta not distributing nutrients properly (that is the extremely short answer. Just know that I am glad they’re di/di, since I’m a nervous Nelly). To help with some of the confusion about twins and whether they’re identical or fraternal, I’ve made a chart. I like making charts. Anyway, feel free to share this image. Knowledge is power.
