The Pot
Every entry adds $10 to the pot. Half goes to the best guesser — half goes straight to the girls' fund. Everybody wins (but mostly the girls).

Place Your Bets
One entry per person. Guess boldly — the closest overall entry takes half the pot. Then leave the girls something to read when they're older.

How the Field Is Betting
Every entry feeds these numbers the moment it's submitted. Individual guesses stay sealed until the girls arrive — this is just the shape of the crowd.

Our Girls Are "Di/Di" Twins
Short for dichorionic–diamniotic. It's the kind of detail that matters at the doctor's office — here's what it means for our two.

Placentas & amniotic sacs
Every 4 wks
Growth ultrasounds
Each girl has her own everything
Di/di means two placentas and two amniotic sacs — a private room and a private kitchen for each. No sharing required (that lesson comes later).
Already acquainted
Ultrasound studies have caught twins reaching toward each other in the womb as early as 14 weeks. These two have never once been alone — and never will be.
Two of everything, including opinions
Di/di twins each run on their own supply line, which is why they can grow at their own pace and arrive as two genuinely different people who happen to share a birthday.
Identical is still on the table
Di/di doesn't automatically mean fraternal — some identical twins split early enough to each grow their own placenta. With two girls, it can be a genuinely close call — we'll make ours one week in, and it's final.
Two of a kind, never copies
Even identical twins have different fingerprints — they're shaped by tiny differences in position and movement in the womb. Whatever the DNA test says, there is no such thing as a duplicate girl.
They photograph well — and often
Di/di twins get growth ultrasounds about every four weeks, so these girls will have a full photo album before they're even born.

How the Pool Works
The rules & how the points worktap to open
1
The buy-in
One entry per person, $10 each, paid through the link at the bottom of the page. Your entry counts once it's paid.
2
The scoring
Birth date is the big one — up to 10 points for the closest guess. Every number (weights, lengths, minutes apart, labor length) earns up to 5 points by closeness, and every correct pick is worth 5. Most points wins; exact hits break ties.
3
The deadline
Entries close the moment labor begins. No editing, no late bets, no "I had a feeling."
4
The payout
Half the pot goes to the winner. The other half goes directly to the girls' fund — so every bet is also a gift.
5
The grading
The winner is announced one week after the girls arrive. Between weekly ultrasounds and finally meeting them, most answers will be settled fast — anything still uncertain at the one-week mark is graded with the best information we have. Mom and Dad's call is final.
