Kacy I've got 2 right now, both bang-myself-up-and-break-everything boys :)
They're 5 and 3, same height give or take an inch and the younger one weighs a pound more than the older one! He's a little tank. We keep saying Kelsey (the oldest) is going to be the quarterback and Brendon (the youngest) is going to be his linebacker :awinky:

My third was due on June 26 too but I had him induced 3 days early. :)

Question tho...why 'the rabbit died'? I've heard that expression only once before and I didn't understand it then either...lol.

Wow!!! Congrats Carrie! I really hope you have a GIRL too. All 3 of my kids are boys.

(I'm so helpful :P )
The origins of the "rabbit test" lie with the discovery in the 1920s that a woman starts producing a hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) shortly after a fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine wall. (It was later discovered that the presence of hCG causes the placenta to produce progesterone after implantation, necessary to prevent rejection of the developing embryo.) In 1927, medical researchers found that not only is hCG present in the urine of pregnant women, but that female rabbits injected with urine containing hCG would, within a few days, display distinct ovarian changes. Thus the "rabbit test" was born, and with it the misconception that the rabbit's death was an indicator of a positive result. In those early tests, the rabbit always died, because the animal had to be killed before its ovaries could be examined. Later refinements to the test enabled clinicians to inspect the ovaries without having to kill the rabbits first, but as the example cited above demonstrates, the misconception that the test rabbit died only if the woman was pregnant is still with us today, even though the "rabbit test" itself is not.

Carrie, congrats!

Peaches, very interesting! Aways wondered about that.

But I think the writer could have found a better word than "misconception" to use in the article.

Wow, thanks Peaches. You are a helpful little duck aren't you? :)

Sabby my eldest is a girl, the other two are boys and quite frankly I'd rather have the boys...lol. (Don't tell Alex I said that tho!)

They're just easier to handle somehow...hard to explain really. I love my daughter to death but on a purely pragmatic level...the boys are easier. :)

Oh Peaches, come on you know that a reference from the Aerosmith song "Sweet Emotion" :awinky: he he

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took you just a little too far
Ya tellin' me things but'chor girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died

A yes it did

:yowsa:

Congrats! :wnw: :wnw:

That's my birthday!!! :D

Carrie, Congratulations and best wishes! :D
