While driving into work this morning, Nat and I heard this story on NPR. My first thought was whether the mothers had participated in fertility treatments since these tend to increase the chances of having multi-child births. My second thought was about having to care for quadruplets, and I must say that it was four times as intimidating as the thought of having a single kid, especially one that is born with a tuft of hair and a mustache. I guess with the both of us getting older and with some of our close friends starting to have kids, it is only natural to start thinking about having children.
If that paragraph is scaring you all, I want to get to why I am writing this entry. Soon after the story on NPR was done I told Natalie that if we ever had quadruplet boys we should name them after the Beatles. Interestingly enough, she agreed. So, if we ever happen to have four kids at once we will be welcoming into the world John, Paul, George, and Ringo Mainou.

And if you have a girl, name her Yoko.
Or Coco.
That's pretty cool. Kim and I love the Beatles but I doubt she would let me get away with naming one of our quadruplets George.
She would be cool with Ringo?
Aaron, I only agreed because the odds of having quadruplets are 1 in 729000. Now take into consideration four boys, and the odds are now 1 in 11 million. I think I'm covered.
Oh, I can't wait. I think for their first birthday we are going to get them a drum set with guitars.
Oops that was me that posted the last comment.
She just thinks George is a dorky name. I love it. I would sing the George of the Jungle theme song to him all the time. I think she'd be cool with Ringo if it were his nickname. Ringo's real name is Richard Starkey so he could be Richard (Ringo) Sarff.
I asked Kim what she thought of the name "Luke" when we were pregnant with Nathan. She said it was okay but vetoed it when I told her I just wanted to say, "Luke, I am your FATHER!"
Aaron, that is so wrong...yet funny.
I just thought about this the other day. If you name your quadruplet boys after the Beatles why don't you name them: Juan, Pablo, Jorge y Ricardo Mainou?
