May I present my twin nieces born just 5 days ago. Jessica and Sophie. Aren't they lovely!
I had forgotten just how tiny newborn babies are. These two lumps of gorgeousness are about 6lb each in weight. There was a rush of broodiness abounding. Even the other children in the room (aged 6 and 4) kept their usual exuberance toned down in honour of the occasion. Sitting with a baby on a lap was quite the most magical thing they had done I think.
Earlier, in anticipation of the visit, my son said he wanted to ask me something. "I'm very confused Mummy" he told me. "I know that the babies grew in Auntie's tummy, but how did they get there in the first place?" I caught the eye of my boyfriend who was waiting with great amusement to see how I would handle this. "It's very complicated" I explained. "I think you'll understand better when you're a bit older". I thought he would be having none of this for a pathetic lesson in the birds and bees, but it was enough. "OK" he smiled, then ran off to play with his cars and make some noise. I think I got away quite lightly there!
Well, what more can I say other than "Ahhhh". So lovely.

Well done Auntie Lisa on the most precious additions and on your success with the birds and bees conversation. I used to think that when you wanted a baby you went to the doctor and he gave you an injection and then what ever was in the injection grew into a baby. I was sort of on the right track ! haha!
enjoy your cuddles
