Who would have guessed?

Well, Leni and I are expecting a little bundle-o-joy(tm) at the end of May 1999. As of the beginning of December, 1998, all parental types have been fully informed, but this web page isn't linked to the rest of the world yet.

The next piece of big news was on the 16th of December. TWINS. Oh my gosh. What next??? Anyway, there's no way to tell at the moment whether they are identical or fraternal twins.

As of the end of January: we've had the second ultrasound which has provided no more photos for the web, but has confirmed the previous gender report. Otherwise, all is well with Sylvia Maureen and Zoe Miranda as well as Leni and myself.


The twins were born on the 5th of April in the late afternoon about 13 minutes apart. Mother and daughters are all okay. Zoe's name was changed to Mara to avoid possible popularity of some hideous 90210esque TV show called something silly like Zoe, Dunlop, Jake-brake, and Adolphe.


Official sonograms (16 Dec 1998)

Top panel shows the two fetuses. Middle panel, the smaller of the twins, fetus "A" which is lower and will be born first. And the third panel shows the slightly larger fetus "B" which will be second born. A version suitable for a printer (600dpi) rather than screen resolution is also available.

This is Sylvia's face. She's the twin on Leni's right side.


This is a censored picture of Sylvia's bum and crotch. It's a girl. Click on the picture for the uncensored version (not that there's anything really to see).


Zoe wasn't too cooperative with the ultrasound tech, but here's a view of her back(bone) and side.


The twins and a picture of Mara with Leni.

Sylvia in particular, is growing up fast.

Together, partners in crime.
