The girls will have to wait until their 50th which are a few more years away. I had forgotten about the scene from Casablanca. It does give goosebumps. Now I need to find my copy and watch it.Patricia B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05204020525523938796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-83868902867797613872020-07-20T22:21:34.990-05:002020-07-20T22:21:34.990-05:00This is the kind of information I thrive on.

My doctor told me he heard two heart beats early on in my first pregnancy. Since I didn't end up having twins, it was very likely the situation of one fetus not thriving and being absorbed. I did some research on this. Apparently it isn't all that uncommon. It's called Vanishing Twin Syndrome (sounds like a Twilight Zone story or a Perry Mason episode: Case of the Vanishing Twin). I've known younger women who have had ultrasounds early on that showed twins one month and only one baby the next. Poof! Just gone. So odd.Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-85811976856042562232020-07-20T18:23:31.246-05:002020-07-20T18:23:31.246-05:00I see you were a busy mom, too, with little ones t...I see you were a busy mom, too, with little ones two years apart, just like I was except my second pregnancy, also unexpected, was twins, so I had four in four years lol. But they never lacked playmates . My youngest, though, was always in a hurry to catch up. Now he's the tallest of the four at 6'4"<br />Elizabeth Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553904624219542353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-65050338506767248182020-07-20T16:07:31.760-05:002020-07-20T16:07:31.760-05:00Elizabeth,

My other daughter-in-law will be 40 in November, so she'll get one, too. The books run $99, which is a bit steep if you ask me, but what the heck. It is a nice gift. <br /><br />Ah...

There is a drawback, though. The print is really tiny. For my bifocal-eyes, it's difficult to read without a magnifying glass, which is annoying. lolKaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-25413199527493729112020-07-20T14:10:48.950-05:002020-07-20T14:10:48.950-05:00I seem to recall doing that, I think for my first ...I seem to recall doing that, I think for my first son's birth and a few other events, but for the life of me I don't know where they are now. I am a newspaper and magazine clipper of things I find interesting, especially historical events. I'm terrible at organizing, though. What a wonderful and unusual gift. My youngest turned 40 this year as well, in May. I love anything by Marty and watch his videos quite often on YouTube. You put a lot of research into this blog and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I would never ...Kaye, what a great idea for a gift! I would never have thought of that! That's so different, and something I'm sure he really enjoyed. When I was growing up I was so disappointed that I didn't know ANYONE who had my birthday. Some of my friends could boast about having another friend or relative or someone famous who shared their special day. Mine was July 28, and I was so thrilled to learn that Jackie Kennedy was born on July 28th, too! I had a few "close, but no cigar" events that "almost" were on my birthday--my cousin's birthday is July 22, and we've been close all these years, and my childhood best friend's birthday was July 23--she was a year older than me. Great post--we can NEVER get enough Marty, you are so right! XO Happy birthday to Cameron!Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
