    Normally I could sleep for Britain, certainly on the weekends. I usually get up at least once during the night (as most females do!). The last few weeks, however, my sleep has been awful because of the hot weather. Even if I don't find it hot, DH does and spend the nights tossing and turning. Then I hurt my foot and has been keeping me up. Wondering if it was enough to help sway...

    The Irish twins thing, works a bit differently than you might expect because while biologically it should sway pink, if you are a person who is ABLE physically to conceive shortly after having a baby, you may be more likely to have a boy anyway (because your condition is so high that you were able to bounce back and become fertile again quickly.) So you can get boys or girls as Irish twins - the catch is that declining maternal condition tends to sway pink but also inhibits fertility, so women who are able to conceive Irish twins may be more "set" to blue to begin with and that's the only reason they're ABLE to conceive.

    Hard concept to explain, let me know if it's unclear.
    Omg I'm Irish and I've never heard of 'Irish twins'!!!!
    Can someone tell me why they are called that?

    All it means is two babies born within 12-18 months of each other. I think they're called "Irish twins" because it's a derogatory term - as in, Catholics have a lot of children, type of stereotype.
