Lo's World

OK. In the last update we announced the birth of K’s baby.

 

Just in case you’ve forgotten, here is another picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interestingly, on  the same day he was born, our daughter found out she had twins. That moved her due date up a bit. And required a lot of thinking: how to put 2 babies in their room; have to pick out more names; where to get 2 car seats; Oops, the car is too small so we need a bigger one.  I’m sure you can imagine all the questions. Fortunately, I got home in order to almost settle in before the twins arrived. Three weeks after she found out, the twins were born. The family thought it would be good to have a boy and a girl in order to keep the family even. However, the Creator’s humor was evident and just evened out the general grandchildren’s sexes. We now have 5 grandgirls and 7 grandboys and 2 so far unidentified. hmm. Also, just for the fun of it, the girls have different birthdays. Baby G was born 10 min before midnite and Baby I was born 10 min. after. They will have fun explaining that for the rest of their lives!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mom had no drugs and no stitches. Baby I had turned around and decided to be breech. But the midwife and the OB had no problems delivering her feet first. Babies were both in the mid 6 pound range – nice and healthy and big enough to go home the next day.

 

 

 

No, they aren’t identical but they are so much alike that until more distinguishing characterists develop, Baby G will be dressed in greens and Baby I in pinks. Fortunately, the clothes we have generally fit into those families. Baby I’s hair is turning lighter and Baby G’s is still dark for some reason.

The older kids are quite happy with them. B-boy is completely enamored with them and insists on holding them whenever allowed. Even at the age of 2.5, he is very good with them. Other than his fascination with the eyes.

So, Grandbabies 10 & 11 arrived on Thursday and Friday and we heard from our youngest son the next day  that they were working on evicting their baby too. Grandbaby #12 arrived on Monday.

 

Monday’s Child.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, our baby thinks that his baby is “the cutest baby in the whole world!” Of course, his siblings question his opinion.

 

 

Here’s a side by side of the April boy with the May boy:

         

 

 

 

 

 

So, one is dark haired and one is blonde. I hardly think that will make for a cuteness differential.

Christmas will be highly entertaining this year with 5 six month olds.
