I've been wondering whether to publish the boys' birth story seeing as you all know how E arrived in the world, but before I do that I thought it was important to share the day we had our 12 week scan and were blown away with the news that we were expecting twins...I wrote this post over a year ago for a blog hop, but think it's about time I added it to my own blog. . . .

But as only T2 was ready for it we concentrated on getting him dry over the summer. He did brilliantly, and after a blip where he called pants his "nappy pants" (because he thought he could wee in them just like a nappy) he was completely dry.
