The Mommy Blog Written by a Real Mom
Ok so maybe not. But how cool would it be to have twins that came out varying degree’s of colour?
Well on July 11th a German couple gave birth to two baby boys, one white, and one black. The odd’s are technically two in a million, isn’t that crazy?
Experts say that because mom is darker skinned (from Ghana–West Africa) and Dad is a Blond haired blue eyed German they caused quite a stir at local Sana Hospital in Lichtenberg, Germany.
The Twins’ mother, Florence Addo-Gerth said the most important thing was that the babies were healthy… Most likely there were some mixed gene’s in the couples backgrounds that decided to show themselves in their beautiful baby boys Leo and Ryan.
The boys have already shown some different personalities their mom said, “Ryan (the light skinned baby is described as Spirited”, while “Leo is laid back.”) For all of you who don’t know what spirited means–translation… Mr. Fussypants!
Good luck to mom and dad!
Erin Carrasco (Real Tech Mom) is a mom of a beautiful baby boy born in March. She also looks after her other two kids (Mia and Keely, her two cats) and her wonderful husband of four years. It has taken some time getting used to not being at home every day, but being a mom is a different type of job and I admire the moms who get to be with their kids every day!
Moms like me know that just because everyone says you should do it, or not do it does not make it set in stone. For us dinner is never the same time every night and because of my husband’s job, our lives are ruled by overtime, extra overtime, travel and the crack blackberry. I am not only a mom, I’m a woman and human being. Believe it or not I do enjoy a lot more than just being a mom! Some of my passions are a little geeky but still they’re me none the less.
