Deb, thanks for your post, and for clearing some things up. I’m glad that you were able to have children and I’m sure you have the time of your life with them :).

Just read at People’s website that Dustin Hoffman said Angie’s due date is August 19. Wow, that’s my birthday too, so I think it would be so cool if she did give birth that day. But I know due dates are never really the exact date that babies come. Still, it would be really nice. :)

As a former infertility patient (we are lucky to have two children given the use of fertility drugs and artificial insemination), I just feel like I have to clear up some misinformation. AI, in and of itself, does not lead to multiples. It’s the use of fertility drugs that leads to extra eggs which then increases the likliehood of multiples. I believe some of you are referring to invitro fertilization, which involves the harvesting of multiple eggs (produced with the help of fertility drugs) which are then fertilized with sperm and implanted in the uterus. I prayed that we would not have to resort to that method because there is nothing easy about it. It takes a huge toll on the woman and is only successful less than 1/4 of the time for each attempt. It is really pretty drastic, and before you do it there are a number of other methods to try depending on your circumstances. Women who have blocked or dysfunctional fallopian tubes have no other choice, but to use invitro fertilzation, but the rest of us have less drastic options. If there is simply an issue of an irregular cycle, as I thought I heard was true for Angelina, you can take a drug (not a fertility drug) to correct that and it does have a slight risk of increasing your chances for twins. In any case, even having twins makes the risk to the infants, especially, much higher. While it is exciting, it shouldn’t be something we aspire to. Also, there is no twin gene! There may be a tendency to “drop” more than one egg (ovum) that runs in families and leads to more fraternal twins, but that is it.

Fortunately, Angelina is smart and can afford the best of care. Here’s hoping it all goes well for this family.

Hoff: Firstly, I have one thing so say as it’s the last question..can I say it?

Frenchy: Go ahead, it’s a pleasure.

Hoff: Ok..I want to congratulate Angelina because it’s been a very long time since I’ve been in this business and I’ve never met a person who has such a good balance between family life, humanitarian efforts, ..and all the extraordinary work that she does in addition to this.

Thank you Mr.Hoffman for your sweet words to Angie. (He is a father of 6 children) Whatever gossip writers make up ridiculous stories and there are people who want to believe those stories but there are still those real people who rooted into real world.

I don’t read nor believe trashy tabloid and feel sorry for people who believe them. Especially US tabloids are NOT written in intelligent way. Even they have 7% of truth in their stories as Brad said still they are quite boring.

If you watch the video of Angelina & Jack Black, when the interview asks “It’s confirmed? Is it two?” you see Jack’s face drop when he realises what he has done. Lol
