Christmas Ornament

At Christmas my mom had given us an ornament for the Christmas tree that read "Baby's First Christmas" so we could hang it next year on our tree. Well, when we found out about the twins, my fiancé called my mom right away at work to tell her the good news because he couldn't wait!! He called her direct number to her office and when she answered the phone he said, "Mom, remember that ornament you bought us for the baby next Christmas? Well, do you think you could possibly find another one exactly like it? We're going to need two of them...." I was listening on the other phone when I heard my mom repeatedly say with total joy in her voice, "Don't you tell me that, don't you tell me that!!" And then she started to shout it to all her employee's that her daughter was going to have twins!! She was so excited!! And then suddenly she said, "How in the world am I going to find another matching ornament like that one!!?? I bought that months ago!!" We both laughed and told her we were just kidding. If one of our babies turns out to be a girl, we are giving her my mom's name as her middle name to honor my mom. My fiancé lost his mom 3 years ago. He and his mother were very close! We have decided that, if we have a girl, our daughters' first name will be his mom's middle name. She will honor both of her grandma's. MisMgmt@hotmail.com
