Tell us how you came up with the
names?
Nathan means a gift of God and
Reuben means behold the son.
How much did they weigh?
Nathan weighed 2.27 kilos and Reuben
was a little lighter at 2.14 kilos.
Tell us something unique about the
boys?
We call Nathan ‘Mr Touch Me Not’ as
he doesn’t like to be cuddled or kissed
at all, whereas Reuben is completely
the opposite, he loves to be cuddled
and kissed all the time!
How much has life changed for you
and your husband since the twins
were born?
Nigel and I used to love to watch
movies, however now it’s totally
different. We try to enjoy watching and
listening to nursery rhymes instead!
And how has it changed you as a
person?
Motherhood has changed me for the
good; I have learnt to be careful and
more sensitive.
What was your reaction when you
first heard you were having twins?
I can still remember the date. It was
Double Trouble!
Reuben
Nathan
&
the third of January 2013! I had gone
for my scan and was told that I was
expecting twins. I was so shocked! I
thought how could I manage three kids
(my husband and the twins)! However,
I truly believe that God knows what is
the best for each one of us.
How do you manage to juggle work
and motherhood so well?
I am able to manage things only
because of my mom; who is a blessing
to us and with the support of my
husband - Nigel. I guess this is one of
the moments in my life where I felt that
I needed my mom the most.
Congratulations to Philomina Pereira and her husband Nigel. Philomina, Executive Secretary at Al

bundles of joy…
