Holy Schmolies!!! First one @ 14 pounds and then twins at
*Twelve* pounds EACH?!?!
My sincerest sympathies on how rough that delivery had to be!!
Geez, and average birth rates for twins, these days, are around 5
or 6 pounds... I do believe that I am now *extremely* pleased
that Nathan was only 8 # 3 1/2 oz. Whoa! I'd still be screaming
had he been 12 or 14 pounds!
