Wednesday's Walk Down Memory Lane
Wow! I think I will start off with an easy one, rather than a funny one.
When my twins were born on January 1, 2000 they were 34 weeks and 5 days along. They weighed a surprising 6 pound 8 ounces and 6 pounds 4 1/2 ounces. After one hour in the NICU, they got the hang of breathing and never looked back.
We came home together on January 4th, but the babies had each lost a full pound of weight. They were both able to wear preemie diapers and clothes for one month. Megan had the teeniest little feet. Size zero shoes didn't fit her for about 6 more months.
Anyway - we got home with these [big for twins] but tiny babies [compared to Jason's whopping 9 pounds six years earlier] and I was oohing and aahhing over them and I called Megan "Sweet Pea".
Mike walked by and overheard me and he said "She is too small to be a Sweet Pea - she's just a Pea!"
And "Pea", she is to this day. Sometimes elongated to Peabus (ask Mike).
Thanks you to the website I borrowed this from. See the button about and go to visit her.

Hi Jamie! Welcome to Wednesday's Walk. It's great to have you join us.
Twin babies that weighed 6 1/2 pounds at not quite 35 weeks is amazing! That's cute that your husband came up with Pea for Megan.
I hope you'll join us again.
I plan to. Thank you Lynnette. I also plan to take some time and look through your blog very soon.
Hi! Glad you could join us for memory lane. It's alot of fun. I love your blog! I can't imagine having babies that small. My babies are always so big (the smallest was almost 8 lbs, the other two were almost 9) that they barely get to wear the 0-3 month sizes for very long!
Enjoyed reading! :)
I always thought it would be so great to have twins,...(alot of work,...but fun) I am glad that they were such a good size, and that they grew into such healthy and adorable kids. You are very blessed!
Thanks for sharing.

all I can say is, "ah".
But, from a house of boys, Pea means something different, and I don't think any of the boys eat them to this day.
My first born was the biggest, too. Nine pounds 10 ounces. James was only eight something five years later, and Ben seven pounds something 14 months later.
