Yesterday was my Brothers Twin DD's 51st Birthdays
I felt so old remembering them as babies , when they were only 6 month old my SIL miscarried with another set of twins ,
She then went on to have two more children 15 years later
I went to stay at my brothers to look after them and the other two children they were all under the age of 3
My Nephew was 10 month old when his sister was born and she was 11 month old when the twins were born , so 4 babies under 27 month by then
My SIL was in hospital almost two weeks , that was the norm in those days ,
Mornings were fun making a big bowl of porridge sitting 4 babies in a row and feeding them one spoon at a time
Getting them all washed and dressed and in a huge Silvercross twin pram to walk them to my mothers house , It was like pushing a bus .
Night times were a challenge feeding during night , but as i recall they were very good babies for sleeping through .
As there was only 11 month between the 3 girls people thought they were triplets,
I look at them now and see what lovely people they have became but where have those years gone
They are a very close knit family and missed my Brother being there a lot yesterday , quite a few tears when i phoned each of them last night .
Lovely memories that seem at times a very long time ago and sometimes not so long ago
