Our G-d is an awesome G-d.
Beautiful.
Yes, He is awesome!
And that is so precious.
The article didn’t say how much they weigh, but they are a couple of hefty lil gals for twins — look like 5.5 or 6 lbs each. That’s a lotta pregnant. Luckily there was only one sac, or that would have added another 1.5 - 2 lbs. Great job, Mom!
He certainly is! Beautiful.
Precious
5 years ago my daughter found out she was carrying monoamniotic triplets..It’s still impossible to describe how you go from utter joy (triplets!!!!..I couldn’t wait...) to total despair, as we found out..the long list of complications..the very high probability of multiple birth defects. It challenges your faith...she had a miscarriage a few weeks later..that’s also fairly common with these pregnancies..happily, 15 months later, they had a beautiful baby girl..
A lovely Mother’s Day gift. I have never heard of the surname Thistlewhistle. I’m sure it has a long rich history. I suspect that may be a Scot name. The Scots have a flag with a thistle on it because a tall growth of purple thistle walled them off and offered protection from an invading army centuries ago. Is it common for today’s mothers to post photos of their newborns to the public? She must have given the hospital approval.
Jillian weighed in at 3 lbs 13 oz and her sister Jenna at 4 lbs 2 oz per an article in the Akron Beacon Journal yesterday.
Very sweet! Happy Mother’s Day Mom.
Indeed. the lib reaction would be “eek! kill it”
Very cool I am a twin so this stuff always gets my attention
...that’s why I was surprised to see the ‘Boston.com’ link...probably ruined a lot of Mother’s Day dinners for Red England libs.
Im so sorry My mom found out like two weeks before we were born she was having twins
Here is the link to the Akron Beacon Journal article, with much more detail to the twins’ births.
I’ll second your comment. It’s so hard to believe that there are those that would prefer a different outcome for gifts like those two and others like them.
And they'll be going at it mano-a-mano for the next 16+ years or so ....
Amen to thaat ! Yes HE is =)
Beautiful photo - - thanks for posting.
