That's not what you said on the hub once! You were arguing with me and someone else I forget who, but you claimed we were wrong and that's what we were saying.

hahaha yeah. i think i was wrong or i was thinking of this case where two of my friends are fraternal twins and claim that in their case, one egg split into two before fertilization and then both were fertilized by two sperm. they asked my biology high school teacher and she told them that wasn't possible, essentially telling them that they didn't exist.

you got it wrong. You guys said the second child was Jeremy's. I sad next youwill say that one of Duncan's twins girls was fathered by Steve. Which got us in this whole Twin conversation..
WOW. Who would of thought that a post about the new addition to the Maida family would start a conversation on how twins are conceived. Like I said I learned something new..
I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again Teach the young people how to think, not what to think-Sidney Sugarman
So... umm... am I the only one here disturbed by the fact that Raine and Chantal's sex life always gets brought up when baby talk begins?

sure you can... artificial insemination (pardon the butchering of the word...)
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

According to the message board on Chantal's site, someone mentioned they heard on eTalk Daily that Chantal said she had her baby and the name is Luca/Luka. This can be both a boy's or girl's name, so we still don't know what the gender is. Thanks to Karen for keeping us posted.
although now we know that there are two c's and that his middle name is Jon.
I really don't like the name Lucca. It reminds me too much of that bad Suzanne Vega song about child abuse.
