being real
Twas the morn after Christmas and with nowhere to go,
Every creature was sleeping in our humble condo.
The girlies were sprawled out, new toys in their beds,
While visions of next Christmas danced in their heads.
And Mama in her jammies, and Papa in his G’s,
Slept on into Saturday, for as long as they pleased.
When out of the alarm clock there arose such a clatter,
Mama went to take her temp, and empty her bladder.
Her temperature had risen, could this be a trick?
She ran to the bathroom to pee on a stick.
When what to her wondering eyes should appear?
But a thin, pale, blue line, that was faint…but clear.
And so to the closet, she flew like a bat
Grabbed a large flashlight, and by Papa she sat.
“I think I am pregnant!” she said with a smile.
And they gazed at the stick, and then hugged for a while.
And the twins’ Christmas wish, if you can remember,
Will be happily fulfilled this coming September.

Oh how fun for you guys! That was so fun to read! And, about the portrait…email Rebecca and get a quote. She was so easy to work with. She sketched up something quickly to get an idea of it all and I told her a few minor changes I wanted made. No problem. I'm so in love with the finished product…and I'll get one done of Callie for next year. Back to you…your girls are so darling and I'm really really excited for you guys!
