Can you believe it?

The original post vanished into thin air. So here I go again.

Amelie and Lydia are turning one in 2 weeks. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for asking about them and for the generous gifts. From books you’ve written, CD’s you’ve produced, playpens, strollers, gorgeous clothes, stuffed animals, Mother’s Day gifts, parenting advice, etc. I am overwhelmed with your thoughtfulness.

Thanks also for your support during my seemingly unending quest to become a mom. Four years of ups and downs (mainly downs!)-I’ve been through 3 miscarriages, upteen shots, been put to sleep 9 times and nearly lost my life. It was a beautiful and painful journey, but I’m so looking forward to the future.

Many of you have asked if they are identical. They are not. Amelie is loving, sensitive but a bit of a tomboy. Her idea of affection is a tackle with all of her weight and a head butt. She is also in the 95th percentile for height and 10th for weight. I think I have a future rugby player, punk rocker, supermodel, WNBA player. Her feet are huge (unlike my 5.5’s) unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be sharing clothes or shoes in the future! Her current skills are climbing stairs one way, clapping and throwing tantrums-really bad ones. She looks more like me but has gorgeous lashes.

Lydia was born at 2 lbs 11 oz. Lydia is only one inch and a half pound behind her sister. She is observant, independent and gets mad easily. Her smile and giggle however could bring peace to the Middle East. Her current skills include saying the dog’s name, swimming, singing and studying your hands. She resembles her grandpa, but with fair Irish skin.

Now you know what Korean Jewish Leprechauns look like. Cute, I think.
