My daughter is having twins!

[Asiel]

Congratulations to the ( soon to be ) new mom and to the new Granny. Twins- how lucky. I always wanted twins but never did get that lucky. You'll find becoming a granny so much fun , you get to spoil them and then send them back to the parents who will lecture you

Congratulations to your daughter and the new soon to be grandparents.

My mom is a twin- she has a fraternal twin sister- and she loves it!

Congratulations! I was so excited when I read your thread, I decided to start my own and didn't even think I should be congratulating you. Yes,

Amy would not be too happy about having twins. She is slightly older than your daughter by well, lets say over 10 years. And this is her first also - The dogs have been their babies and are all close to or over 10 now. I think this is going to be a real shock for them. Especially Sadie her oldest fur daughter who thinks she is a real person - who comes and gives grandma and grandpa hugs when told to. All 3 like to sit on her lap (and they are not lapdog size) so they aren't going to be very happy for while.

Thanks pembroke and 4 dogs mother...yes I am even a bit scared about babysitting them on my own but I guess if one has to wait on slow poke gramma they can just cry, it won't harm them too much they will learn patience, right???

That is interesting, how is it being a twin? Are you still close?

[k9krazee]

I love being a twin! I have a twin brother, so I can't say what it's like to be an identical twin, I'm sure it'd be a lot different. But my brother and I are really close still. They said that when we were little I would cry when I wanted something that he had and he'd give it to me. I can say that that is still true today! haha But we're close, I'm closer to him than I am to my younger sister and older brother, it's just a different kind of bond that I can't really describe. We don't need to talk to know what the other one is trying to say.

The best parts about being a twin, in my opinion, is that I never had an awkward first bus ride, or first day at school, etc. We also were in the same life stages and learning to drive together, graduating high school, going out together for our 21st birthday, etc. We got to study for tests together and split up the homework load. I tried really hard through elementary and middle school to have my own friends, but once we were in high school we had the same group of friends. I wish I wouldn't have fought it so much when we were younger.

The worst part about being a twin is the competition and comparing. We both played the trumpet in the high school band and I was first chair and he was last, I was in the top 50 of my graduating class, he wasn't. Things like that I think really made him a less-confident person and I feel bad because he is constantly being compared to me (and vise versa, there are things that he excels at and I don't). Every little thing was a competition. I'm just glad that he was a boy, I'm sure it'd be 100x worse with two girls or two boys.

One thing I always appreciated is that my mom made a point to make us separate cakes on our birthday and to sing to us individually. Sometimes we had one large cake and each had our own personalized little cake, or even one cake with both halves decorated differently.

Okay, enough rambling XD

[caseysmom]

Thats interesting about the cake, I will tell my daughter to make sure she has two cakes. Her twins aren't identical, they have separate sacks, they just aren't sure the sex of baby "a" yet, baby "b" is for sure a girl.

My girls were only 18 months apart so there was a little of that rivalry with them also.

YAY congrats!
