"PAIR"

I think John and I are a good pair!! And then we made a good pair and then we made another good pair!!
First we produced a pair of beautiful twin boys. We named them Toby John and Nicholas Adam. They were identical! They were born on January 24th, 1989 by caesarean section and were full term. Toby weighed 6lb 12oz and Nicholas weighed 6lb 10oz. Good weights for twins!! Sadly, Nick was stillborn and Toby lived for only a day. There was never an explanation for their unexpected demise but, we got to hold our beautiful 'pair' of boys and we even got to say goodbye to little Toby!
Less than a year later we had Sian Ellen, our little ray of sunshine! She was followed 19 months later by her baby brother, Jacob Anton! As many people told us, "You have a 'pigeon pair'!" (Where does that term come from?)
We count ourselves lucky every day for the times we have had with our children and for the times we are still to have with our beautiful girl.
We may not have had long with our boys but we had smiles and we had laughter and we felt their presence in many ways. We felt the joy of knowing you have conceived a child. We felt the shock and overwhelming joy of knowing you are carrying two babies at once...a 'pair'!!We had twenty years of smiles and hugs and music and laughter with our Jake.
We look forward to a future with a daughter who is fun and unique and who has strength and wisdom beyond her years!
We are a lucky pair!!!
