Oh blimey!!

[B00]

Several weeks ago, my eldest daughter told me she was pregnant. After the initial shock and I'm ashamed to say anger (she's only 19) I was secretly pleased.

This morning, she had her first scan.........and....it's become they, THEY'RE IDENTICAL TWINS!!!!

Both she and her boyfriend are totally floored and I'm utterly gobsmacked.

I really am in a state of shock...TWO!

[4getmenot]

ah wow I want twins :-( why were you shocked and angry? Didnt you have your children young?

[redcrx]

aaaawwwwwww 2 for the price of 1.

Congratulations Grandma!!!! :)

[B00]

yes, that's why i was angry 4get. I had her at 18 and missed out on so much, i didn't want her to be the same. It's obviously put paid to normal teen things now, foreign drink fuelled holidays for example...lol

I just wanted her to enjoy life first.

[whiskeysheri]

Wow! Congratulations, Nanny B00! :o) x

[B00]

lol, i know red, the scan's amazing, they're laid like they were in a bunk bed, one on top of the other. Apparently it's deff they are identical as they share the same placenta.

[4getmenot]

well as long as her and her boyfriend are happy, I;m sure it will all be ok and even better with Grandma BOO to help. :-)

[B00]

ty ws, im truly shocked and a bit overwelmed with it all to be honest. Jesus i'll only be 38 when they born, and a bloody granny already :-(

[4getmenot]

but you'll be a fun gran at their parties :-)

[Beads]

Many congratulations to you and your family B00.

Do you have a tot as well? They will all be good friends :)

And how nice - they'll have a nan young enough to be their mate too!

rofl 4get, two extra bodies to cringe at me strutting my funky stuff on the dancefloor eh?

Cheers beads, yeah i've also got a 2 yr old (3 in Dec), and yes...a big gap between the two of them- 16 years infact, lol

[whiskeysheri]

We all felt the same when my little sis was pregnant with my niece, B00, she was only 18 when she had her. Now, she is truly one of the best mums out there. Lots of luck to your eldest and congrats again. :o) x

[B00]

But two of em.........

My God!!!!

Boo is stunned..........

[China Doll]

Oh shut your yap granny

It could have been triplets you know!!











Oh yeah... CONGRATULATIONS!!!











Not that I like you or anything. Obviously. ;0)

[Beads]

I am sure it must be a surprise - do twins run in the family?

What a gorgeous surprise though - imagine when they're running around with mini B00 having fun - in a few years to come, you won't be able to put a price on that :)

[Pippa68]

Oh bloody hell I am sick of all this twin business..was it a turkey baster again? ...oh hang on this really IS BOO?

WOW!!!!!!!!!

How wonderful for you, Granny BOO :o) I am grinning from ear to ear..

[B00]

Yes I know kaylene, she'll cope, well she'll bloody have to really won't she? LOL

I keep giggling to myself when i think of her face as she told me they were twins, it was a treat, total shellshock.....rofl.

[B00]

Beads- actually yes they do, I was a twin but it was stillborn ( i haven't told her that) I just said no when she asked. The stillborn happened because my mum fell off a horse (!) and not through anything genetically wrong, still, i don't want to scare her any further.

Pippa- yep sadly, its still the same old Boo, suddenly feel older now too!

[whiskeysheri]

It's only non-identical twins that can run in families, Beads, hence poor Miss B00's shock, I think! :o) x

[jno]

congrats to you all B00... obviously your family is not big on spending their 20s exploring life, but presumably your daughter enjoyed her upbringing enough to want to try it herself, which is quite a compliment.


...let's see, great-granny by 58, say, great-great-granny by 80...
