Twenty-Eight

Twenty-eight years ago today I was twenty-eight and gave birth to fraternal twin boys – Twin 1 and then 1 minute later Twin 2.

Today my twin boys are twenty-eight, the age I was when I had them.

Twenty-eight years ago I became a mother to not one but two babies. What an introduction to motherhood!

Twenty-eight years ago I become a mother to premature twins born at 36 weeks. They were 5 lb 1 ounce (2.31332 kg) and 5 lb 3 1/2 ounces (2.40404 kg).  

Twenty-eight years ago my twin babies were in the Special Care Unit at the Mater Mothers Private Hospital here in Brisbane and I witnessed the wonderful work the staff do there.

Twenty-eight years ago I was learning the art of twin feeding and synchronising feeds and living on very little sleep.

Twenty-eight years ago I learnt a lot about reflux and colic!

Twenty-eight years ago I was floating on a cloud of joy and in awe of the miracle of having been blessed with two very precious baby boys.  

Twenty-eight years ago I was very, very tired and very, very happy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to TWIN 1 and TWIN 2 who are TWENTY-EIGHT today!

Here’s twenty-eight photos of my boys Twin 1 and Twin 2 as babies and during their early childhood years (click on the little ones if you want to see them larger).
