I've met many sets of close siblings as a teacher! I would just about die if I had Irish twins. In fact, I had a hard cider the other day that tasted funny and took a pregnancy test just to make sure I *wasnt* pregnant! It's my worst fear right now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915416 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:36:38 +0000 Shutterbug 915416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of mine is an Irish triplet (that's what she called it) - her mom had twins 11 months after she was born!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915414 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:35:54 +0000 Koolbreeze 915414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SO and his sister are almost 11 months apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915400 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:32:26 +0000 kjpugs 915400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: I am in the glass half full camp if we get KU again soon after too, because exactly what you said- get the diapers, sleeplessness, etc, done SOONER! I am hoping for 1.5-2.5 years apart (especially because my sister and I are 20 months apart and great friends.) But less than 12 months still seems daunting to me, just a little! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915393 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:30:46 +0000 GrapeCrush 915393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom went to school with Irish twins. One born in January, the other born in December of the same year. </p> <p>One if our groomsmen is an Irish twin. </p> <p>My brother and I were almost Irish twins. He was born 12 days after my first birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915388 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:29:09 +0000 jetsa 915388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I don't know any in real life. I follow a blog that has kids a year apart exactly but thats the closest.</p> <p>@kjpugs: haha this seems to be everyones reaction and I would love to have irish twins. :) I just *selfishly* want 2 kids and want to be done being pregnant, like yesterday. Also I figure you never recover from the no sleep so it just extends it a bit instead of being totally done to turn around and do it again. As long as it took us to conceive last time its not likely but still. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915330 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:16:30 +0000 Dandelion 915330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a family with Irish twins...both the sisters are my age.

Does that have a name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915273 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:00:11 +0000 mrs. bird 915273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two sets. I babysat for some when I was a teenager and a nanny I know had her daughters less than a year apart also. A friend almost did, but they're 13 months apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915219 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:49:47 +0000 MapleMoose 915219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was almost an Irish twin! My brother and I are just over a year apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915216 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:48:56 +0000 runsyellowlites 915216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I have a friend that is in labor right this instance with her 2nd bub, making her two Irish twins! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915198 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:45:04 +0000 kjpugs 915198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a few that are close (13-20 months apart) but no true Irish twins!! Actually an old HS friend I think MAYBE but I don't know him well enough to know their birthdays. More power to those mamas.... holy cow!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915194 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:44:42 +0000 petunia354 915194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 of my cousins are irish twins! They get along now but I'm not always sure that was the case growing up. I also know there is still a bit of rivalry, although I think it is mostly one sided (the younger is envious of the older sister). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915186 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:43:29 +0000 autumnlove 915186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, one of my bridesmaid is an Irish twin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-irish-twins#post-915180 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 10:42:00 +0000 Rubies 915180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Irish twins = siblings born within the same calendar year or within a 12-month period.</p> <p>I know three sets of siblings less than 12 months apart. The closest age gap is 11 months and a few days. </p>
