Birth of our twins

Dear ILites,

I got the good news the other day that my niece in Phoenix Arizona is in the family way. I was amused to hear people announcing the pregnancy here. Unlike India where only the lady is siad to be carrying and expecting, here in U.S they say both husband and wife, Mr.and Mrs. So and so are expecting. I even thought humourously, it amounts to saying that the husband also is carrying!. Now, coming to the birth experience of our twins. They were born in Bangalore. I was at the time of delivery in Mumbai as we were not getting paternity leaves like these days, I was waiting for the delivery to take leave and go to Bangalore. On that D-day I first I got news of the arrival of my daughter and since I was knowing that my wife was carrying twins, I got worried about the other child. My in-laws were not reachable suddenly and that put me in real tensions. After few hours of frantic phone calls, praying and waiting my in-laws came on line and told me that our second child a boy is born and although he was born after 10 minutes of the birth of my daughter, he had to be kept in oxygen tent as he had swallowed the fluids in the satomach and gone blue. It had taken an expert doctor at the nursing home to fight and bring him back to life.

Hi TDU,
If not said properly some things can just sound so funny like what you have quoted. For one Iam someone who is fascinated by twins and always like to know whether they are identical or fraternal, more then anything in twins they say the baby born second is the older one because that is the child that is formed first, pl unravel the mystery for poor meee!!!!

dear TDU,
a well written article on ur true feelings, i must say what it is for a man to go through, though my husband had been very scared only waited in kolkata for the news like old times and distributed sweets and banana in his hotel for his daughter's birth.... nice to hear the shuba ending..sunkan

hello raman

that was a cute
``double'' write up
bringing up twins can be tiresome
perhaps you can pen(s) them too...!

we have triplets in the family
my brother in law
has three daughters
narmada nandhita and niveditha

TDU,

Good write up. and good that both kids are fine.

I heard in a harikatha...sometime back...when i was visiting a temple.. that the baby is carried by the husband for 3 months before the wife starts carrying it in her womb.. how true it is???...but your mr.and mrs.so and so...made me recollect that....
