P.S.

No, I don't know the twins' sex(es) yet. Am I gonna find out? Yes, if they can tell from the ultrasound, possibly as soon as next week. Am I gonna tell you? Maybe. (I already told my co-workers that they have to suffer.) Not publicly. You might have to sign a "no pink/blue" waiver first. I recommend gifts in green, purple (!!!), yellow...

...Or you could go the route my co-worker apparently is: "I'm giving them sports-themed stuff! That's unisex!" Gold star.

I give children nothing when they're new. I give only parents presents. I'm such a contrarian.

I enourage you to dress the babies up in the frilliest foofiest stuff you can while you can. At some point they will express a preference and then the foof will be over. Oh yes, and cross-dress them puppies of course.

Factoid: Bean was the total pink-ruffles-loving-girlie when she was little. And she's so not femme now, as you know.

Stripes & polka-dots are grand.

Fwiw, I'll probly give you a million receiving blankets, because I've never known a parent to have too many. Plus there are a LOT of cute patterns in flannel. And maybe some porn or something. (More in the "gifts are for parents" line of thinking.)

No porn, please. The parents have enough :)

Oh right. Well then, a cookbook, a soccer ball, and some old scotch. Or maybe bbq supplies. Oh, that's good -- since babies really aren't supposed to be starting fires and stuff.
