During dinner, Ailsa asked Violet and Ivy if they liked being twins. Yes – they both did. When asked why, Violet responded with no hesitation,
“Always together!”
and Ivy said,
“We get two cakes on our birthday!”

Play
Violet and Ivy saw a play at school today: “Jack And The Beanstalk”. They’ve been producing their own plays all evening. It’s been wonderful.

"Unborn twins interact in the womb at 14 weeks gestation!"
An extract from a brilliant twin studies article:
“Umberto Castiello of the University of Padova, Italy published a report in the online journal Public Library of Science One (PLoS One) in October showing unborn babies have the ability to interact as early as 14 weeks into the pregnancy…
“We conclude that performance of movements towards the co-twin is not accidental: already starting from the 14th week of gestation twin fetuses execute movements specifically aimed at the co-twin,” Castiello’s team wrote…”

Seven
Palm Sunday once again. Last Palm Sunday we had no idea that the baby in Ailsa’s womb was, in fact, two…
Guess who.
Seven months ago this afternoon Violet and Ivy were ‘extracted’ from their wonderful mother eleven weeks earlier than expected (time flies when your changing nappies). Since then they’ve had adventure after adventure after adventure. Just over a week ago, we were all back at the hospital again after little Violet had a horrible reaction to some baby porridge, but she settled down very quickly and was soon back to her thumb-sucking little jolly self.
We are all very, very excited at the moment as we look forward to the imminent birth of the girls’ new Auntie… due Wednesday (my money is on Saturday).
We wish everyone a beautiful Holy Week.
