On Sunday we held a special lunch. It was a good opportunity for our immediate family to meet surromom and to be able to see her growing bump. I know for some it must have been quite strange, even surreal, to think that our babies are inside her belly. For me it was comforting to know that our family have now met her and can put more than just a face to the name when we talk about her.
We received a heartwarming poem from hubby’s brother and sister in-law. It was funny but at the same time had us all in tears. It’s a poem I feel I have to share with the world:
Mally and Cands flew home from Dubai,
To create a cargo too precious to fly,
Then an angel named Nola,
Tucked it inside ‘er
And waited for nine months to go by…
Her growing belly becoming less stealthy,
She’s kept the cargo so safe and healthy,
Attending the scans,
And being quizzed by Cands,
For a regular update ‘n selfie…
By now we know there’s not one but two,
Bundles of “B” to chase and pursue!
But for us the best
Is that we have b’n blessed
With both a niece and nephew!
Nola your impact can never be measured,
But know these babies will always be treasured.
Mal and Cands you’re gonna do great,
Although you’ve prob’ly had your last date
And soon you’ll look much older and weathered!
***”B” replaces our surname
