Twin fever!

The proud parents: Lee and Samual

Lee and I with the babies.

One of my co-workers Samuel has twin girls, Mercie and Gracie. I had a baby shower for them on Friday. Lee, the mother, was actually pregnant with triplets, but unfortunately the boy died shortly after childbirth. They are now 9 weeks old and about 5 lbs each! They are very lucky to be born so early at 31 weeks here in Zambia.

My good friend Karen is also expecting twins. She is due in early September, so is about 28 weeks now. She is from South Africa, so she'll be returning there next week for the rest of her pregnancy.
