Have You Been Seeing Double Lately?
Have you joined the ever-swelling
tide of twin fans? There’s sure a lot of multiple births out there and
statistics how there has been a dramatic increase just since the 80’s. To be more
specific that has been a 76% leap in United States alone, with New Jersey gleefully
leading the pack. But what’ causing it, you say. Is it the water, eating too
many yams, the green colour on traffic lights, the internet, or what? What? Scratch your heads no longer, friends, it’ all
those career girls settling down to starting a family and because old Mother
Nature is warning them that time is running out they jumped on the Medicine? Wagon
and decided to give their supposedly waning baby-making equipment a boost and
lo and behold we are seeing doubles everywhere!
Those twins
are fascinating. Especially when you find out how they have been cuddling
together while still in their safe haven beneath their mother’ heart. How do
they know that those unborn eyes need to be touched gently whether on their own
face or that other body sharing the ever-tightening space with them? Why is it
that a premature twin has been known to give up the struggle to live when its’
little pal from conception couldn’t make it?
As you
already know, I have been fascinated with the bond between twins for many years
which is why the book Two Mothers, TWIN Daughters was created, and I am eagerly
working on the sequel.
