Twin Swans
Hi Everyone,
It feels like ages since I've been on here!!! But being pregnant has taken a bit more outta me than I anticipated. Just letting you all know it won't be long now and the Twins will be here. Next week!!! My obstertician has said about Tuesday 20th Dec. So after that this Swannie is going to be flat out!!
After reading many ficcs about the Swan having Twins I have to giggle. Her tiny figure would be swamped nearing full term and she'd hardly get off the lounge. No way she'd be doing a natural birth! I'm tall and its enough!
Anyway I'll let you know when the big event has happened and photo of the new little ducklings in our house.

Oh, wow, Ebony - next week?? It seems only a few weeks ago that you told us the happy news!
Although I'm sure time has flown faster for us than you, as you've had such a momentous event to prepare for 
Can't wait to see the piccies of the ducklings and best wishes for all going well!
I wish you a very happy - if tiring(!) - Holiday season!

I'm sending you all the good wishes, Ebony! Funnily enough, of all my pregnant friends (most of whom have had singletons!) I would have guessed you would have given birth first.
Instead, you've been the one to hold out until the very end!
On a side note - 22 December is an EXCELLENT day for them to arrive. Trust me

Time seems to have pass very quickly since you told us you were expecting Ebony.
Looking forward to seeing some pictures, when your two little additions give you the time of course.
Happy Holidays, Ebony! You have the best present on the way!

It's so very close! I know you can hold on just a little bit longer, Ebony! We're looknig forward to seeing your two early Christmas presents!
And yes, the Swan might not have been able to get up, but with her temper easily roused and her aim with a yo-yo, she still might do some damage to Galactor while 39 weeks pregnant... if only they came near her lounge chair.

Congratualtions and best wishes - looks like you will be getting the " First Present " of christmas.
As for the lounge - we are smart people here, lets put it on wheels, motorize it , armour it up and let the Swan blow off some steam (add grappling hooks for those trying to get away from her) - The Swan Mobile Mark-2
why should she miss out on the fun.

Oh ... congratulations, and the best and the warmest of wishes, Ebony! I'm so happy for you! There's nothing more than the birth of two little angels, in addition to a wonderful family, to add to the Christmas magic! Take care! I'm already eager to hear your news!

Hi Everyone.
Just letting you know that the twins were born on Friday 16th December at 2.28pm and 2.29pm. Two days after I did this post, looks like they chose their own birthday after all. We spent about 10days in special care nursaery because they had wet lungs and jundice. Buit all is well now and we're home. Anyone want advice for fics about twins pregnancy etc for a ficcie just ask!
They have big blue eyes and fair eye lashes with bow lips. Gorgeous babies if I do say so myself They're identical twins.
We named them Isabella Jasmine & Georgiana Violet.
