Twin Pregnancy Diary

A Valentine's Day Poem for Our Unborn Twins
(Originally posted Feb. 14, 2001)

Though still unborn, your hearts are in our dreams
We know your bright eyes are filled with mischievous gleams
Together as a pair, you'll hit us with well-engineered schemes
There's nothing like the power of twins - it's perpetual teams.

Your smiles radiate and show themselves on your mother's face
And even now we can see your style and grace
If we could we'd accelerate your due date's pace
But alas, the moments-to-be are not a race.

So several months from now, we'll welcome our newborn twins
With dozens of bottles, stacks of diapers and plenty of safety pins
Mixed in with lots of laughs, huge smiles and undying grins
Feel free to smile back -- perhaps with dimples on your chins?

Our lives will forever be devoted to our special two
We hope for peaceful bliss but prepare for a chaotic zoo
Grandmas try to warn us-"if only they knew!"
But we scoff at this advice; the stories can't be true.

Until you two bless us and arrive, please let it be known
That true happiness can sometimes occur in a clone
And one day when you two are both older and grown
We only hope that our unending love was always shown.
