For most grandparents, the birth of a grandchild brings new
and exciting opportunities into their lives, but to be blessed with twins goes
exponentially beyond the blessings of two.
One, two: buckle my shoe
Eins, zwei: Polizei
Uno, dos: sÃnodos
Un, deux: pas de deux
These girls are as rare as a 2 dollar
bill!

Thanks Great Grandmother Woliver! |
Mono Mono twins (Monoamniotic-Monochorionic
or "Mo-Mo" twins) are
always identical and incredibly rare (about 1 in 10,000 births). They will share both their
amnions, chorions and placenta too. They only happen in about 1% of monozygotic
(identical twins)
pregnancies.

It’s this early connection between twins and even triplets
that often translates into a strong adult bond. Through shared experiences over
the years, the twin union matures taking on a deep richness. “The twin history
is really important as we get older,” explains Pearlman, herself an identical
twin. When older multiples need a bit of nurturing and support, for instance,
they can always turn toward the one who knows them best, their cotwin. “I still
find myself—as well as many other twins I know—during periods of stress,
calling my twin. There’s this soothing function, even as adults. Just hearing
my twin’s voice provides that soothing comforting function.”
It seems that when a person has a cotwin, all that is
wrong with the world can quickly become right.
The journey that Eva and Joy have had during their two years plus together have enriched our lives in so
many ways. Here is a photomontage. Enjoy!
